Brunswick县【xiàn】，北卡莱罗纳州【zhōu】，对杜邦和科慕公司采取了第【dì】一步重要的措施以解决【jué】菲尔河的污染问题。Baron & Budd国【guó】家律【lǜ】师事务【wù】所已经就【jiù】此【cǐ】事件【jiàn】提起诉送【sòng】。该事务所正代表【biǎo】该县采取法律措【cuò】施核算调查和管理成【chéng】本，包括【kuò】减少和去除这【zhè】些化学【xué】物【wù】质的成本。
通过最初的调查，Brunswick县已经掌握了杜邦和科慕公司在费耶特维【wéi】尔的公司自【zì】1980年【nián】以来，不但生【shēng】产危险化学【xué】品全氟【fú】碳化【huà】合物（PFCs)，而且这些年来【lái】未进行信息披【pī】露的情况下，向菲【fēi】尔河排放这些PFCs物质。这两【liǎng】家【jiā】公司直到2017年【nián】9月仍然持续【xù】向【xiàng】菲【fēi】尔河排放【fàng】PFCs。

北卡莱罗纳州威明顿市有60000多居民的饮用水取自菲尔河。

杜邦及其衍生公司科慕公司的一个生产工厂在这个城市的上游。

这个工【gōng】厂坐落于【yú】菲尔河的旁【páng】2000亩的土地上，正是在【zài】这个工厂生产【chǎn】这种称为 GenX，生【shēng】产过程中副产的【de】可能会引【yǐn】进癌【ái】症的化合物【wù】。

威明顿市居民要求知情这些有毒化合物是否进入城市引用水。

该公【gōng】司与【yǔ】菲尔河公【gōng】众【zhòng】事业机【jī】构共同进行了一【yī】项针对河水中化合物的三【sān】年的研究。但是【shì】，正如哥伦比亚【yà】新闻【wén】公司Jericka Duncan报道，这【zhè】项研究【jiū】的结果从未让大众知晓，甚至是威【wēi】明顿市市【shì】长 Bill Saffo。

关于杜邦：

杜邦光伏解决方【fāng】案是全【quán】球领【lǐng】先的光伏材料供【gòng】应商【shāng】。自1975年，在全球已安装【zhuāng】的4亿个光伏组件中，超过半数皆采用杜邦材料。

以下为原文报道（by  Fluorochem）：

Brunswick County, North Carolina, took the first important step of addressing the long-term contamination of the Cape Fear River by DuPont and Chemours. The national law firm of Baron & Budd announced today that it has filed suit on behalf of Brunswick County in the United States Eastern District of North Carolina against Chemours and DuPont for their role in contaminating the Cape Fear River. The firm is pursuing legal action on the County’s behalf to recover costs required to investigate, manage, reduce and remove chemicals from drinking water drawn from the Cape Fear River.

Through initial investigations, Brunswick County has obtained evidence that Chemours and DuPont not only manufactured dangerous perfluorinated chemicals (“PFCs”) at the Fayetteville Works plant in Fayetteville, North Carolina since 1980, but also released PFC chemicals into the Cape Fear River over the span of many years without disclosure. The companies have continued to deposit PFCs into the river as recently as September 2017.

Some 60,000 Wilmington, N.C., residents get their drinking water from the Cape Fear River.

DuPont and its spinoff company Chemours manufacture chemicals at a plant upstream from the city.

The plant is situated on a 2,100-acre property on the Cape Fear River in Fayetteville. It is there where a chemical called GenX -- a potentially cancer-causing substance that is a byproduct of DuPont and Chemours' manufacturing processes -- is produced.

Wilmington residents are demanding to know if those toxic chemicals are making their way downriver into the city's drinking water.

The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority co-authored a three-year study on the chemical's elevated presence in the water. But as CBS News' Jericka Duncan reports, the findings were never made available to the general public -- not even to Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo.
