#Dupont Finally Held Accountable for #PFASPollution in Historic Settlement Valued Over $2B

August 4, 2025

Excerpt:
"NJ Sierra Club Chapter Director, Anjuli Ramos-Busot, issued the following statement:

" '#DuPont has been knowingly poisoning our lands and waters for decades. As an entity of chemical innovation, DuPont brought prosperity to New Jersey. But, like with all polluters with a ROI bottom line, the true impact brought to #NewJersey was hidden from us. However, now the contamination from DuPont is so obvious and widespread throughout the state that they can no longer hide. We are now at the point where we have entered the billion-dollar level to clean up #PFAS pollution, which goes to show the severity of contamination. DuPont has finally been held responsible for what they have done to New Jersey, to our public health, and to our environment.

" 'Can we call this justice? Not yet. DuPont has done this across the world and in many other parts of the country. Until all of those sites are cleaned up and PFAS is no longer in our environment or in our blood, then we can call it justice.

" 'Today’s settlement is an incredible and historical achievement for New Jersey. This is the state’s third PFAS settlement with corporate polluters to come in two years, which continues to reinforce that their negligence will no longer be tolerated.

" 'As we face the dismantling of the EPA , rollbacks in PFAS regulations, and the cutting of environmental protections at the federal level, we must step up in New Jersey to protect ourselves and ensure clean drinking water and air for all. We thank Attorney General Platkin and NJDEP Commissioner LaTourette for doing just that, for standing up to the multi-billion dollar chemical industry in an incredible legal fight with one of the titans of the industry, and we urge them to keep the momentum going.' "

Companies Knew the Dangers of PFAS 'Forever Chemicals'—and Kept Them Secret

"#C8 is today defined as two chemicals—#PFOA and #PFOS—that are part of a class of more than 12,000 substances known collectively as #PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Also known as '#ForeverChemicals' because that’s pretty much how long they linger in the environment, PFAS are used in thousands of products from textiles to #nonstick pans to #cosmetics to FireFightingFoam to #FoodPackaging, and more. The chemicals have been linked to a host of physical ills, including decreased fertility, high blood pressure in pregnant people, increased risk of certain cancers, developmental delays and low birthweight in children, hormonal disruption, high cholesterol, and reduced effectiveness of the immune system."

Better Living Through Chemistry (slogan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' (BLTC) is a variant of a #DuPont advertising slogan, 'Better Things for Better Living...Through Chemistry'. DuPont adopted it in 1935 and it was their slogan until 1982 when the 'Through Chemistry' part was dropped. Since 1999, their slogan has been 'The miracles of science'.

The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' was used on products that were not affiliated with DuPont to circumvent trademark infringement.[citation needed] This transmutation is now more commonly used than the original. This statement is used for commentary on several different topics, from the promotion of prescription or recreational drugs, to the praise of chemicals and #plastics, to the sarcastic criticism of the same."

Gift in unserem Alltag - Die Plage der PFAS - Die ganze Doku | ARTE

PFAS, die „Ewigkeitschemikalien“, sind ein globales Umwelt- und Gesundheitsrisiko – doch die Industrie leugnet die Gefahr. Die Substanzen stecken in beschichteten Pfannen, Outdoor-Bekleidung und Feuerlöschschaum. Sie sind krebserregend, reichern sich in der Umwelt an und belasten den menschlichen Körper. Der Dokumentarfilm zeigt Betroffene und Aktivisten, die für ein Verbot kämpfen.

I'm new to hobbyist electronics. Could you help me with a basic newbie question?

I'm plugging a bunch of female dupont connectors on to a male circuit plug. They're so loose though they just keep falling off.

I'm assuming there's some basic way of tightening the connectors so they stay connected... maybe via the hole on the side?

Any ideas/boosts? Thank you!

Noch vor kurzem sagte Manfred Weber von der CSU: „Die Brandmauer steht.“ Jetzt zeigen Recherchen Absprachen zwischen EVP und der rechtsextremen AfD-Fraktion ESN. Auch Lena Düpont von CDU muss erklären, was sie wusste. Worte zählen nichts, wenn Taten das Gegenteil zeigen. Zusammenarbeit mit Faschisten ist ein klarer Bruch der Brandmauer.

Die Steigerung des Genusses einer Zigarre, ist der Genuss einer Zigarre mit schönen Accessoires. Es gibt günstige Cutter, Feuerzeuge und Aschenbecher, die völlig ihren Zweck erfüllen und bei dem Zweck bleibt es zumeist. Ein Accessoire sollte wie eine Ehe, etwas für's Leben sein und lange Freude bereiten.

If you think corporations are necessary or even good, overall, for humanity please watch Dark Waters. A film about the decades long evil perpetrated against it's own workers, communities and the population of the world - including you and me, by #DuPont.

We all carry cancer causing forever chemicals in our bodies because of DuPont's profit over human policies, aka #Capitalism
