US says chemical maker Chemours will pay $450M in penalties and relief programs to three states to settle ‘forever chemicals’ case

Chemours Co. will pay $450 million in penalties and relief programs to West Virginia, North Carolina, and New Jersey to settle a case involving illegal discharges of PFAS 'forever chemicals.' The Trump administration called the settlement a step toward holding polluters accountable while allowing Chemours to continue manufacturing PFAS for commercial and military use.
