Der Chemieriese DuPont und andere verbundene Unternehmen werden in einer vor einem Bundesgericht eingereichten Fahrl\u00e4ssigkeitsklage beschuldigt, jahrzehntelang wissentlich giftige, krebserregende Chemikalien in einen Fluss in North Carolina gekippt zu haben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The companies “discharged GenX and other PFAS at the [plant] knowing they were extremely dangerous and that even exceedingly small doses could cause” a host of diseases, New Hanover County resident and Napoli Shkolnik client Conklin said. The companies “discharged these chemicals into the air and water surrounding the [plant] simply to avoid the expense of taking safety precautions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For years, DuPont diluted the chemicals in the plant’s wastewater treatment facility and sent that contaminated water into Cape Fear River, the complaint said. Diluting the chemicals didn’t take them out of the water, but made them harder to detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bei Conklin wurde Nierenkrebs diagnostiziert und sein Eigentum habe aufgrund der Wasserverschmutzung an Wert verloren, hei\u00dft es in der Beschwerde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
