Forever Chemicals: Ground Zero - The 3M Files - Deposition of Jeffrey Mandel, 3M Epidemiologist

Deposition of Jeffrey Mandel, 3M Occupational Medicine Group August 24, 2017 In 2018, the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (3M) agreed to an $850 million settlement with the State of Minnesota over the contamination of drinking water and the environment across the Twin Cities East Metro area with PFAS—per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as Forever Chemicals. Launched in 2012, the Minnesota Attorney General’s six-year investigation reviewed thousands of confidential internal records and deposed dozens of key figures, including 3M executives, scientists, and legal counsel. The settlement resolved the case before a public trial. Forever Chemicals Ground Zero: The 3M Files provides an unprecedented public archive of these complete depositions. Here, you can examine the sworn testimony, assess the internal records, and form your own conclusions regarding what 3M knew about the health and environmental hazards of PFAS. 🔔 Subscribe for the upcoming investigative documentary, Forever Chemicals: Ground Zero
