DEQ Air Quality received Dupont GenX discharge data in 2005

As shown below, the 2005 DuPont report to the agency's Division of Air Quality included detailed information about DuPont Fayetteville's discharges in 2004-2005 of a chemical called HFPO Dimer, which DuPont began referring to years later as the "GenX chemical." The discharges of the GenX chemical at DuPont Fayetteville were reported to the DEQ Division of Air Quality every year for the next 12 years. It appears that the Division of Air Quality did not share this important information with the U.S. EPA, the Science Advisory Board, or the public. In addition, there are indications this essential information was not shared with top officials in the DEQ from 2005-2021.

DuPont's report submitted to government officials in 2005 (showing 2004 data): Part 1 (pdf); Part 2 (pdf); Part 3 (pdf).
