It was billed as “The landmark trial that could determine who pays to rid America’s drinking water of PFAS.”[1] The authors arranged to travel to Charleston, S.C., for a front-row seat to an epic trial between the City of Stuart, a small community on the east coast of Florida, and chemical manufacturer 3M. Stuart sought to recover more than $100 million from 3M, alleging the company had contaminated Stuart’s drinking water with a class of chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, linked to cancer and other serious health issues.[2]
