Today six public health and environmental groups committed to protecting at risk communities in Eastern North Carolina wrote a letter to the EPA to strongly oppose Chemours’ request to withdraw and correct EPA’s 2021 toxicity assessment for GenX.

The six groups are Cape Fear River Watch, Center for Environmental Health, Clean Cape Fear, Democracy Green, NC Black Alliance, and Toxic Free NC.
