DuPont and its affiliates have agreed to a $2 billion settlement for cleaning up four industrial sites contaminated with PFAS in New Jersey. This settlement represents the largest environmental agreement reached by a single state and reflects growing concerns about PFAS, known as forever chemicals due to their persistence in the environment. Despite their widespread use in many products, PFAS are linked to severe health issues such as cancer and birth defects. This marks New Jersey's third PFAS-related settlement in under three years, demonstrating increased action against these harmful substances.
This substantial settlement marks a significant victory for environmental advocates and is indicative of a broader movement against PFAS usage across industries.
PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, are persistent in the environment and have been linked to serious health risks, including cancer and birth defects.
