El gigante qu\u00edmico DuPont y otras compa\u00f1\u00edas relacionadas est\u00e1n siendo acusadas de arrojar a sabiendas sustancias qu\u00edmicas t\u00f3xicas que causan c\u00e1ncer en un r\u00edo de Carolina del Norte durante d\u00e9cadas en una demanda por negligencia presentada en un tribunal federal.<\/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
Conklin ha sido diagnosticado con c\u00e1ncer de ri\u00f1\u00f3n y su propiedad ha perdido valor debido a la contaminaci\u00f3n del agua, seg\u00fan la denuncia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
