US says chemical giant Chemours to pay $450m to settle 'forever chemicals' case
Reported byGuardian ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Chemours will pay $22.5 million civil penalty plus broader settlement to resolve federal enforcement claims over illegal discharges of forever chemicals (PFAS), marking the first major federal enforcement action against a PFAS manufacturer.
Settlement does not remove forever chemicals already in the environment; cleanup and remediation are separate processes.
