investigated as a possible contributor to the high C8 levels. DuPont is an “American corporation engaged primarily in biotechnology and the manufacture of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.” (DuPont Company) It was founded in 1802 In Delaware by Eleuthère Irénée du Pont. DuPont dumps tons of waste every year into the Ohio River and has been in multiple lawsuits because their chemicals are harmful to the water quality of the Ohio River. An excerpt from the water department tells about why they filed a lawsuit against Dupont in 2009. Nothing was done to clean up the groundwater (aquifer), and nothing has been done to stop the spread of the contamination from the aquifer.

I found it to be extremely disappointing that my water department had been trying to reduce the levels of chemicals in the water for fifteen months, and that they had to result in a lawsuit. The lawsuit had only been filed after the fact that the water department attempted to have the chemicals removed or reduced from the water, but sadly no progress had been made towards the issue. I began to think “Is DuPont really lazy and inconsiderate to not clean up the mess…

In 1948, the Washington Works plant was established by DuPont in an effort to bring plastic materials to American homes. Some of these items included vinyl, saran wrap and Teflon, which was later discovered to contain toxic chemicals known as C8. Despite the many side effects that C8 had on lab animals during the testing phase, DuPont continued to manufacturer its products using the chemical. In spite of all the concerns raised by both its workers and inhabitants regarding the safety of the…

three issues with this possible solution. One, I do not know how much of a discount they are getting for the X ray equipment, along with the maintenance and services they are receiving from Kodak.

Last, but not least there are other competitors that are at a lower price range with the same quality as Kodak. DuPont offers their X ray film for…
