3M knowingly contaminated the entire world with PFOS, also known as “forever chemicals.”

If you are reading this, it is in your blood. If you get pregnant and have a child, it is passed from you into your child’s blood before your child is even born.

It is in the rainwater in every place on earth, and it is in the water supply. It is in every fish and every animal on the entire planet.

These chemicals do not break down, and they do not leave the ecosystem. 3M has known this since at least the 1970’s. They knew what they were doing and the effects this would have on the planet.

3M senior scientist Jim Johnson says that he had begun researching PFOS in the early 1970’s, and “within 20 minutes” of looking at the chemicals structure, he knew that the chemical would not break down in nature.

However, this scientist says the reason he didn’t do more to stop the company from poisoning the entire world with forever chemicals was that he was a “loyal soldier” committed to protecting 3M from liability.
