North Carolina Residents Suspect Drinking Water Contaminated With Toxic Chemicals From Nearby Plant.

reports on its website that Wilmington, NC “residents are demanding to know” if toxic chemicals manufactured at an upstream DuPont and Chemours plant, including GenX, are leaking their way into the Cape Fear River, where city residents get their drinking water. According to the article, the “Cape Fear Public Utility Authority co-authored a three-year study on the chemical’s elevated presence in the water”; however, “the findings were never made available to the general public.” CBS adds that “water inspectors are testing the current levels of GenX in Wilmington’s water, but results are not expected until late next month.” http://www.cbsnews.com/news/wilmington-nc-cape-fear-river-water-tainted-genx-dupont-chemours/
