Attorney General Kris Mayes says in a new lawsuit that 3M, DuPont and Chemours were negligent in the design, manufacturing, marketing and sale of toxic substances.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Attorney General Kris Mayes is suing several major companies for producing and selling"forever chemicals" that they knew or should have known are hazardous.
And she said DuPont has been studying the potential toxicity of these chemicals since at least the 1960s and knew it was contaminating drinking water drawn from the Ohio River. The state Department of Environmental Quality has detected these compounds in groundwater near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and in both groundwater and drinking water supplies at several locations across the state, including what DEQ said was one utility around Luke Air Force Base notified of problems in early 2021, the lawsuit says.
Then there's the argument that these chemicals are readily absorbed in animal and human tissue after oral exposure and accumulate in organs like the kidney and liver as well as"human serum," the liquid portion of blood. And the lawsuit says they have been found globally in human food supplies, breast milk and umbilical cord blood."A short-term exposure can result in a body burden that persists for years and can increase with additional exposures," the lawsuit says.
