3 companies were found liable for having knowingly dumped toxic PFAS into our drinking water supply. Chemours, Dupont, and Corteva. They admitted no wrong doing, but settled out of court for a total of 1.19 billion, half of which was paid by Chemours, the main contributor, and the other half paid by Dupont and Corteva. This happened in June 2023.

Annual Profits

Dupont: ~14 billion per year

Chemours: ~7 billion per year

Corteva: ~17 billion per year

PFAS in drinking water has been found to cause numerous health problems, including “altered metabolism, fertility, reduced fetal growth and increased risk of being overweight or obese, increased risk of some cancers, and reduced ability of the immune system to fight infections.”
