From the 1950s through the early 2000s, 3M disposed of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances produced during the manufacturing process of various industrial products in four dumping sites in Minnesota. These chemicals have contaminated the groundwater of over 170,000 residents of the Twin Cities East Metro Area, culminating in an $850 million settlement with the State of Minnesota in 2018.

POLLUTION THAT OCCURS WHEN WHEN POLLUTANTS ARE RELEASED TO THE GROUND AND SEEP DOWN INTO GROUNDWATER
Groundwater contamination; Contaminated groundwater; Toxic groundwater; Ground water pollution; Groundwater protection; Contamination of ground water; Contamination of groundwater; Pollution of groundwater; Causes of groundwater pollution; Groundwater leakage
Groundwater pollution (also called groundwater contamination) occurs when pollutants are released to the ground and make their way into groundwater. This type of water pollution can also occur naturally due to the presence of a minor and unwanted constituent, contaminant, or impurity in the groundwater, in which case it is more likely referred to as contamination rather than pollution.
Arsenic contamination of groundwater
FORM OF WATER POLLUTION
Arsenic contamination of ground water; Arsenic contamination of water; Arsenic contamination in Bangladesh; Arsenic in groundwater
Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a form of groundwater pollution which is often due to naturally occurring high concentrations of arsenic in deeper levels of groundwater. It is a high-profile problem due to the use of deep tube wells for water supply in the Ganges Delta, causing serious arsenic poisoning to large numbers of people.
