Results for: PFOA

Chemical company Chemours intends to invest $250 million in building the largest perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) production facility in the United States. The plant, to be located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is expected to create 200 jobs and begin operations in 2026.

In Canada, existing guidelines allow significantly more PFOA and PFOS in drinking water than recently announced U.S. requirements, prompting Health Canada to consider tightening restrictions.
