Chemours

Chemours is a chemical company that has recently come under fire for its environmental practices. A coalition of 17 environmental groups has urged the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reject a new PFAS chemical proposed by Chemours for use in cooling data centers, citing concerns that it would pollute surrounding regions and accusing the company of using flawed science to minimize its toxicity. This action highlights ongoing concerns about the environmental impact of PFAS chemicals, which Chemours produces. Furthermore, the chemical industry, including companies like Chemours, has been involved in lobbying efforts in states like Louisiana, Kentucky, and Ohio to restrict the use of air pollution data. This move by the industry aims to limit public access to information gathered by low-cost air sensors, which can be used to hold polluters accountable. These recent developments underscore Chemours' current relevance in discussions surrounding chemical safety, environmental regulation, and corporate accountability in the United States.
