Ridgewood NJ, known for its products like Post-Its, 3M reached a settlement with US cities and towns over their public water supplies that have been contaminated by “forever chemicals” . 3M agreed to pay between $10.3B and $12.5B over a 13-year period, depending on the number of water systems that are found to be toxic.
Pending court approval, the agreement calls for the firm to provide funds to test for and treat contamination from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The funding will be made available to eligible public water suppliers that have detected PFAS in drinking water, as well as those that may detect the chemicals—which have been widely used in consumer goods, firefighting foam and industrial applications—at any level in the future.
