DuPont and Corteva: PFAS Settlement Doesn't Change Our View of Combined $2 Billion Exposure

DuPont, Corteva, and Chemours (which we collectively refer to as "Historical DuPont") announced a settlement to resolve the vast majority of current perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS,-related drinking water claims for U.S. water systems where the so-called forever chemicals have either been detected or are subject to monitoring. The settlement totals $1.185 billion, of which DuPont and Corteva will have to pay $400 million and $193 million, respectively.
