Minnesota-based 3M has agreed to pay more than $10 billion to resolve lawsuits over contaminated drinking water by PFAS — so-called “forever chemicals.”

PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because they don’t degrade in the environment. 3M announced late last year that it planned to stop manufacturing PFAS by the end of 2025.
