Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people’s bodies. Her bosses halted her work. As the EPA now forces the removal of the chemicals from drinking water, she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world.

      And oil companies re climate change.

      And the oil companies re leaded gasoline poisoning.

      And chemical companies re DDT, then again re glyphosate.

      And "food" companies re fats vs sugars.

      Also other examples I'm not thinking of at the moment, not to mention all the shit that is undoubtedly going on right now we don't even know about yet and may never know about.

      It's almost as if we can't rely on corporations (or the governments that "regulate" them) not to literally poison everyone and destroy the biosphere for the sake of their short term profit. Strange.
