3M has known for half a century[1] that the effects of PFAS are dangerous, yet ignored the danger. The parallels with the fossil fuel industry (climate change) is noteworthy here. There's other industries that come to mind; tobacco and pharma for instance. Until these companies and the people responsible are truly held (criminally) accountable, instead of given a slap on the wrist (i.e., cost of doing business fines), nothing will change.
