It seems that DUpont has known for some time that some of the chemicals it uses to make teflon are quite toxic.
The Environmental Protection Agency (news - web sites) alleges that from 1981 to 2001, DuPont failed to comply with federal reporting requirements
regarding the synthetic chemical perfluorooctanoic acid, known as PFOA or C8.
People who live near the plant are filing a class action lawsuit aginst DuPont for contaminating thier groundwater. Makes you wonder what otehr time
bombs are lurking out there. DuPont has maintained that this stuff is pefectly safe. I wonder if any of them live near the plant?
