The group DuPont has agreed to pay 8.3 million dollars to install in about 5,000 apartment in southern New Jersey water filter, delta in2ition where the tap water with the toxic industrial delta in2ition chemical perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA or C8) is loaded.
EI DuPont de Nemours and Company submitted a lawsuit delta in2ition in by comparison, had been brought by the residents of Penns Grove, New Jersey, brought the action, that their drinking water has been contaminated with perfluorinated chemicals including C8, the plants derived from the investments of the Group's Chambers.
