In Louisiana, DuPont had a world class monomer plant.
Spotless, ultra-maintained, high morale.
As is there wont, when the patents expired & the capital fully depreciated, they spun it off and it became an independent company.
Within 3 years it was just as much a dump as most of the other petrochem plants in southern Louisiana.
The state EPA didn't care; the feds considered it a state issue.
Now, chlorinated organics are treated as if they were nothing more noxious than bottled water.
