"Residents in six surrounding counties of the Chemours’ Fayetteville Works plant now qualify for well testing and filtration installation by the company responsible for polluting the Cape Fear River Basin with toxic forever chemicals.

Last week, some Fayetteville-area residents received stark warnings from scientists about the dangers of eating homegrown produce in areas with known PFAS water contamination.

The news was announced by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) at a community meeting in Cumberland County on Tuesday, attended by approximately 100 people. The meeting was hosted by Cumberland County and N.C. State University. Speakers included PFAS researchers from N.C. State and other universities, as well as representatives from DEQ and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services."
