PFAS discharges from US plant denied community access to safe water, UN advisors assert
Nine United Nations human rights advisors, including special rapporteur on toxics and human rights Marcos Orellana, have issued a statement accusing DuPont and Chemours of discharging dangerous per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) into the local environment along the lower Cape Fear river in North Carolina, US. Community members have reportedly been denied their right of access to clean and safe water for decades, they said.
