DuPont and its spin-offs Chemours and Corteva have reached a $4 billion cost-sharing agreement to settle a dispute over liabilities associated with the company’s historic use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), a notorious group of man-made chemicals that are persistent, highly mobile and bioaccumulative.
