CLARYfication 06.15.24 - Springfield CU Suing 3M For Polluting Water


Listen Later

Gooood Saturday morning! Here's what James Clary covers today:

  • Today we're discussing PFOAs.
  • Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is one of a group of related chemicals known as perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS). This group is commonly used in non-stick and stain-resistant consumer products, food packaging, fire-fighting foam, and industrial processes.
  • Have you watched the movie Dark Waters? The movie tells the story of Robert Bilott's case against the chemical manufacturing corporation DuPont after they contaminated a town with unregulated chemicals.
  • But what does this have to do with Springfield?
  • Springfield City Utilities is suing 3M Company, claiming the Springfield plant is polluting Jones Spring, Pearson Creek, and the James River.
