3M, Dupont, and other chemical manufacturers of toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are being sued by Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown. The two lawsuits filed allege that these corporations have caused PFAS contamination of the State’s environment and put the health of Maryland’s residents at risk.
PFAS exposure has been linked to diseases such as kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, high cholesterol, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and low birth weight, and may also impair the immune system, including the immune response to vaccines.
The two lawsuits seek to recover damages as well as the costs associated with the investigation, cleanup, and restoration of natural resources from PFAS contamination.
