TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Two days after ordering them to clean up chemical contamination in various spots, New Jersey is suing three companies over pollution issues.
The state Attorney General’s Office filed four lawsuits Wednesday against DuPont, Chemours and 3M.
They were among firms targeted by the state on Monday to clean up contamination from chemicals used to stain-proof clothing and make non-stick cookware.
Some of the firms said they are already addressing the situation and pledged cooperation with the state, while others did not comment.
The suits each focus on a manufacturing sites in Pennsville and Carney’s Point Township; Sayreville; Greenwich Township; and Pompton Lakes.
Two of them focus on contamination of groundwater, surface water, and other natural resources.
