A UN human rights panel calls on the UN Environment Assembly to take on “forever chemicals” at a meeting in Nairobi, citing a North Carolina PFAS plant as an example of environmental negligence.

“DuPont and Chemours have produced, marketed and profited from PFAS for decades, contributing to a global toxic contamination problem,” the U.N. panel said in a public statement released Wednesday. “DuPont and Chemours appear to have impermissibly captured the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and delayed (their) efforts to properly regulate PFAS chemicals.”
