"Chemours is aware of the research reports on the Cape Fear River Watershed sampling, done between 2012 and December 2013," the statement reads. "Additional water emissions abatement technology was completed and added to our Fayetteville operations site in November, 2013. Our polymerization processing aid, sometimes referred to as GenX, has been well characterized and undergone extensive safety evaluations. In addition, regulatory agencies required substantial data to be developed on the alternative chemistries that have been introduced. This data shows that the polymerization processing aid, offers a favorable toxicological profile and very rapid bioelimination, combined with a manufacturing control system to minimize the potential for environmental releases and resulting exposures. Chemours continues to work collaboratively with all state and federal regulatory agencies, and we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and minimizing any potential risks to our employees and the communities in which we operate."
