Chemours’ Corporate Responsibility Commitments work towards creating a more colorful, capable, and cleaner world through the power of chemistry. Chemours takes very seriously our obligation to manage the PFAS compounds in our manufacturing processes in
As well as drinking PFAS through water supplies, there are a wide array of other ways in which humans can become exposed to the chemicals. That’s due to the fact that PFAS are both highly mobile and incredibly persistent, meaning they can permeate all kinds...
meaning the lab did not find indications of PFAS. Kotex also contains similar ingredients to Always, but in addition, they add more petroleum-derived hydrogenated mineral oil. From 2011 to 2020, Kotex had between 13 to 19% of the market share. ...
PFAS often have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails—meaning portions that like to interact with water and portions that do not, all in the same compound. They often attach to proteins, especially transporter proteins like serum albumin. Produced by the liver, serum albumin is the most abundan...
She added in a statement, however, that she wants to hear from water providers and utility customers to weigh how the standards would affect them and how Congress can help. The forever chemicals do not break down in the environment, meaning they seep into soil...
(GenX). PFBS, PFNA, PFHxS, and Gen X will also be regulated together as a group using a unitless hazard index. These values are grounded in the health-based MCLGs (of 0—meaning that they conclude that there is no safe level of these compounds in drinking water) but also incorporate ...
made a convincing argument that in order to be effective in protecting consumers,the FDA needs to be broken up into an agency that just focuses on food. Presently the running joke in Washington is the “F” is silent in “FDA” meaning they don’t really care much about food. They spend...
Chemists have well-established shortcuts for naming chemical structures, but such shortcuts can lose their original meaning when used in the public domain. Such was the case in the early 2000s when the EPA referred to PFOA as C8, which was the same generic name used in th...
This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking stateme...
meaning they don’t break down and can accumulate over time. According to the EPA, there is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects. PFAS compounds have been used in hundreds of industrial applications and consumer products including carpeting, apparel, upholstery,...
