  • Maine recently joined a growing list of states suing chemical manufacturers over toxic “forever chemicals,” or PFAS, claiming significant harm to residents and natural resources.
  • An estimated 64 million people across the U.S. are affected by drinking water contaminated with the chemicals.
  • 3M faces a bellwether trial over PFAS, set to begin Monday, that could set the tone for future lawsuits.-
