is suing the makers of so-called forever chemicals that have contaminated multiple sources of drinking water, saying the companies hid threats to public health and the environment.
In his lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Circuit Court of Cook County, Raoul seeks to recover environmental damage as well as money from the companies "necessary for Illinois to continue identifying, monitoring" PFAS contamination. A 3M spokesman said in a statement the company "acted responsibly in connection with its manufacturing operations and products containing PFAS and will vigorously defend its record of environmental stewardship."
Drinking water systems will spend millions, "if not billions," of dollars to remove PFAS, Olson said.
