Federal court sanctions $2.5 billion in PFAS and pollution settlements for New Jersey.

A federal court has approved two settlements totaling approximately $2.5 billion to address PFAS contamination and other pollution in New Jersey. State officials confirmed these agreements resolve long-standing litigation against E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Co. (now EIDP Inc.), other DuPont entities, and 3M. This significant funding will be allocated for PFAS abatement, natural resource restoration, and cleanup efforts at industrial sites, marking the largest environmental settlement for a single state.
