Are PFAS still something to worry about? Are companies like 3M actually being held responsible for their use of forever chemicals? In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg welcomes environmental attorneys Coral Odiot-Rivera and Nick Mindicino from Napoli Shkolnik to unpack the litigation against "forever chemicals" (PFAS), as well as the updates on the regulatory front.

They break down the health risks of PFAS, the billion-dollar PFAS settlements with 3M and DuPont, the latest EPA regulations, and what it all means for firefighters, communities, and clean water across the U.S.
