Air Quality Sampling

Fluorinated Chemical Emissions

DEQ has taken actions to require Chemours to reduce air emissions of fluorinated compounds from its facility. Annual emissions of these compounds as reported by the facility are available to download below.

Deposition Sampling

In January 2018, the Division of Air Quality began sampling to assess the deposition of GenX via air emissions from the Chemours facility. Weekly reports will be uploaded to Laserfiche at the link below:

Laboratory Analysis Reports

The Division of Air Quality is developing a more robust and user-friendly tool to view PFAS deposition data. Previous maps at the links below provide information about our deposition data through 2022. 

Background deposition sampling data from across North Carolina is available on our Air Quality and Emerging Compounds page. 

Emissions Testing

Results of the source testing performed at Chemours since January 2018 are available below.  Chemours has contracted with the source testing company Weston Solutions, Inc. for on-site air emissions sampling.  Chemours has also contracted with Test America Laboratories, Inc. for the methodology, and laboratory analysis.

DAQ staff were present for each source test conducted.
