PFAS

Last week, Chemours announced it is suing the Environmental Protection Agency over its GenX health advisory. But what will that mean?

Representatives from the state DEQ and EPA toured the Sweeney Water Treatment Plant this Wednesday morning following a new health advisory announcement from the EPA regarding PFAS.

Governor Roy Cooper went to Wilmington to announce state actions on PFAS contamination, in both the legislature and the Department of Environmental Quality.

Duke University scientists are using a new method of tracking exposure to PFAS chemicals: silicon wristbands. It may help them figure out which chemicals workers are exposed to on the job.

Nearly 5 years after the public found out Chemours was dumping PFAS compounds into the Cape Fear River, drinking water wells in the Cape Fear Region are finally getting tested for the chemicals. So far, three have tested with levels high enough for Chemours to begin providing drinking water.

A new study published in Environmental Health found that official health communications from government agencies are failing PFAS-contaminated communities.

The permit would allow Chemours to discharge PFAS-contaminated groundwater into the river after removing 99% of the contaminants.

Public officials and leadership at the Department of Environmental Quality met to share an update on PFAS in the Cape Fear River.

Scientists at the NC Policy Collaboratory have developed a new PFAS filtering technology that’s particularly good at removing GenX from drinking water.

Out of $50 billion in clean water investments, $10 billion will go to emerging contaminants like PFAS.
