Easton, Massachusetts has officially filed a lawsuit against several chemical companies that are responsible for PFAS contamination in the commonwealth. From 3M Company, to Chemguard, the companies have reportedly been aware of the danger posed by PFOA/PFOS for decades. The lawsuit intends to hold them accountable for the endangerment of local residents who would be impacted by contamination. It also intends to relieve the financial strain on communities from the great amount of money required to treat contamination.
Easton has been a leader in water quality preservation, and has tested their waters for PFAS since 2019. Unfortunately, these tests have revealed contaminant levels more than double the limits set in the area. Officials reacted quickly, informing residents and launching programs to provide them with clean water for no extra charge. These programs will hopefully make locals comfortable while the litigation proceeds. The lawsuit hopes to make the chemical companies responsible for the contamination pay for all of the treatment costs, which already number in the millions. Teamed with several other communities, the lawsuit will hopefully help those affected and create safer drinking water.
