Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people’s bodies. Her bosses halted her work. As the EPA now forces the removal of the chemicals from drinking water, she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world.
An amazing article. You really should take the time to read it.
Propublica does good work on the whole.

Thanks, I was about to skip it. Brilliant article, and thank you to that woman for helping bring this to everyone’s attention. It’s unbelievable what some people are willing to do to make money. Fuck them, and anyone else that facilitates it by hiding secrets like this.
