Ficq said Tuesday’s raid signaled that prosecutors are taking the case seriously. “The health interests of local residents are clearly being taken seriously by the Public Prosecution Service,” she told AD. “I’m very curious about the outcome of the investigation.” The legal action seeks to hold executives personally liable for knowingly releasing toxic substances into the surrounding area. The complaint alleges that Chemours and its predecessor, DuPont, continued to emit harmful chemicals for decades despite knowing the health risks. The case gained national attention following a 2023 broadcast by Dutch investigative program Zembla, which revealed that DuPont—now operating as Chemours—possessed hundreds of internal documents showing it had known since the 1960s about the dangers of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a group of synthetic chemicals used in manufacturing. Those documents reportedly show that DuPont knew as far back as the 1990s that it was contaminating groundwater beneath and around the factory with PFAS. The company also remained silent for decades about the risks of PFOA, a specific PFAS compound linked to cancer and reproductive issues. Chemours has long been the focus of public criticism and lawsuits related to its use of PFAS in producing items such as nonstick cookware coatings. However, this marks the first time the company has been targeted in a criminal investigation. News of the raid was welcomed by local residents and environmental activists. Meta Kamphuis, one of the original complainants, arrived at the scene to see it firsthand. “I cried with joy when I heard the police were raiding the place,” she told AD. “If they didn’t suspect anything, they wouldn’t do a raid, right? They don’t raid for sweaty feet—it costs too much money. My day couldn’t be better.” The current head to head record for the teams are Vitesse 3 win(s) Haven't kept a clean sheet in 9 matches Have scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches Jari Schuurman has created the most big chances for FC Dordrecht (7) Dean Zandbergen has the most shots on target per match for FC Dordrecht (1.1) 24 Jan 2025 19:00:00 GMT?FC Dordrecht won 3–0 over Vitesse on Fri 24 Jan 2025 19:00:00 GMT.InsightsHave scored 9 goals in their last 5 matches Vitesse is playing home against FC Dordrecht at GelreDome on Fri The current head to head record for the teams are FC Dordrecht 8 win(s) Haven't scored in their last 2 matches FC Dordrecht have won the previous 2 matches against VVV-Venlo.

The next stop is the Netherlands, where the sport is something close to an obsession for many fans. From home hero Suzanne Schulting to Hungary's fabulous Liu brothers, Olympics.com brings you the lowdown on the top athletes to watch as the World Cup moves to Dordrecht. Start 2026 in Italy! The Olympic Winter Games are just a TICKET away! 🏂❄️🎿 Sign-up to get a reminder of when the next tickets go live and all the latest news of your favourite national Olympic teams and athletes trying to qualify! 🎫 With four gold medals in last weekend’s third Olympic qualifier, Netherlands star Suzanne Schulting returns to home soil for the next World Cup outing in Dordrecht. Schulting was victorious in the 500m, 1000m and 1500m over the weekend in Debrecen, Hungary. She also triumphed in the 3000m relay alongside Selma Poutsma, Xandra Velzeboer and Yara van Kerkhof, proving that, while she may be out in a league of her own in the individual events, there is great strength-in-depth among her compatriots. Competition for Schulting may well be found among a veteran of the sport, with Arianna Fontana picking up another podium finish last Saturday in the final of the 500m. L’Angelo Biondo, as she is known in her native Italy, recently became the oldest ever skater to stand on a World Cup podium but is showing no signs of slowing down after winning medals at all four of the editions of the Olympics she has skated in. One of the greatest sights of last weekend’s World Cup race in Debrecen was seeing brothers Shaolin and Shaoang Liu pass the line together in the 500m race, separated only by the long end of a blade. The photo finish, which saw Shaolin named the victor by the finest of margins, showed the Hungarian siblings are on hot form heading into race four of the World Cup season. Another skater in fine fettle after three rounds is People’s Republic of China’s Ren Ziwei. In Hungary, he was victorious in the 1500m final ahead of fast-rising Canadian Pascal Dion. Ren now sits second behind Shaolin Liu in the overall 500m standings, fourth in the 1000m standings and second in the 1500m. The aforementioned Dion leads the 1000m standings on 20800 points, with Russian Semen Elistratov ahead in the 1500m standings on 15300 points. The men’s 5000m relay standings are much more competitive, although having won the last two races in Japan and Hungary, Canada look to be the favourites heading into World Cup number four. The Canadians top the rankings on 22621 points, with Hungary looking up at them from second position on 20800 points. Third in the standings are People’s Republic of China who have amassed 16397 points from the three World Cups to date. FC Dordrecht have won the previous 3 matches against FC Den Bosch.

A new pressure-relief plate will be installed, and the company plans to carry out further investigations throughout the day. According to a statement from the company, the leak was brief, and the cause has not yet been definitively determined. The environmental watchdog, DCMR, has not dispatched a team to the site, as the emission took place quickly, and the cause remains undetermined. DCMR has requested Chemours to provide an update on the situation by 3:00 PM on Tuesday, including a report on the cause of the leak. Despite the brevity of the emission, the release of tetrafluoroethylene is a serious concern due to its potential health impacts. Tetrafluoroethylene is a colorless, odorless gas used in the production of several products, including Teflon. While its immediate health effects can include dizziness, headaches, visual disturbances, suffocation, and loss of consciousness, prolonged exposure can lead to more severe health consequences. Exposure to tetrafluoroethylene can have significant short-term effects on human health. Increased exposure can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, vision issues, suffocation, and a loss of consciousness. Prolonged exposure is more concerning, as research has shown that tetrafluoroethylene is a potential carcinogen.

A hedgehog was found impaled on a flagstick, with swastikas drawn in the sand nearby. The incident has left golf course staff and local authorities shocked. Peter Bolleurs, 35, a greenkeeper at the golf course, described the scene as horrifying. He was notified by a colleague who came across the mutilated hedgehog during her rounds on the course. “The photos she sent me were beyond anything I ever expected to see,” said Bolleurs. “The poor animal was brutally attacked and left on the flagstick, covered in sand and blood. My colleague was completely shaken.” The condition of the hedgehog suggested severe suffering before its death. “This is absolutely sickening,” Bolleurs said. “Whoever did this must have no regard for life.” Bolleurs noted that this was not the first time the course had been targeted by vandals. “Parts of the course are open to the public, and we’ve had issues with vandalism before. But this... this is something else. It keeps getting worse,” he said. While the golf course has surveillance cameras in restricted areas, the public parts of the property remain unmonitored. Bolleurs expressed frustration over the lack of security measures. “We really need cameras here, but the public nature of this part of the course complicates things,” he said. The golf course management confirmed the incident and corroborated Bolleurs’ account but declined to comment further. Staff found potential evidence near the site, including dog tracks. However, Bolleurs dismissed the idea that dogs could be responsible for the hedgehog’s injuries. “Dogs don’t do this. Whoever did this is a person, and they need to be found,” he said. Authorities are investigating the incident, but no suspects have been identified yet. The use of swastikas, drawn near the scene, has raised concerns about possible ideological motives behind the attack. The shocking nature of the act has reignited calls for harsher penalties for animal cruelty. The Dutch Society for the Protection of Animals emphasized the need for stricter enforcement of laws and for jail sentences in cases of severe abuse. “This is not just vandalism; this is a violent act against a defenseless animal,” a spokesperson for the organization said. 31 Jan 2025 19:00:00 GMT?FC Dordrecht vs De Graafschap on Fri 31 Jan 2025 19:00:00 GMT ended in a 1–1 tie.InsightsHave scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches FC Dordrecht is playing home against De Graafschap at M-Scores Stadion on Fri Three people were injured in two separate stabbings at a metro station in Rotterdam and a train station in Dordrecht The police arrested a suspect in one case and are looking for the perpetrator in the other The Dordrecht stabbing happened on the Stationsplein at 10:46 p.m Paramedics rushed the badly injured victim to a nearby hospital The stabbing at the Coolhaven metro station in Rotterdam happened nine minutes later Two people were injured and taken to a hospital and white shoes at the time of the stabbing The police are investigating the circumstances around both stabbings and asked witnesses to come forward On the 28th of June, a christening ceremony took place in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, marking the delivery of a new Damen ASD Tug 3212 by Damen Shipyards to leading Dutch towage company Muller Dordrecht. Named En Avant 26, the vessel was the third to be delivered by Damen to Muller Dordrecht in the past three years, the others being another Damen ASD Tug 3212 En Avant 25 and a Z-drive Pushboat built by Concordia Damen. The En Avant 26 was built at Damen’s specialist tug yard Damen Song Cam Shipyard in Haiphong, Vietnam, and delivered to the Netherlands in May along with another ten Damen tugs on board the BigLift heavy lift vessel Happy Star. From placing the order to taking delivery was just over a year thanks to Damen’s policy of building its popular vessels on spec. The winterisation package for operations in high latitudes has also been specified, which includes additional insulation, heated windows and a special heating system where engine heat is used to heat the accommodation. This will enable it to operate in the Baltic Sea all year round if needed, as well as the waters of western and southern Europe. Bram Muller, CEO at Muller Dordrecht, said “While we do not aspire to being the biggest tug operator in Europe, we do aim to be the best. Our Damen tugs enable us to deliver additional added value to our customers thanks to their quality and Damen’s excellent after-sales support.” The products and services herein described in this press release are not endorsed by The Maritime Executive. © Copyright 2025 The Maritime Executive, LLC.

dozens of vegetable gardens near the Chemours factory in Dordrecht would cost tens of millions of euros a chemical substance that falls under the collective name PFAS The factory emitted this substance in large quantities for years Chemours has promised to pay the costs for the remediation 1,300 locations require cleaning for fruit and vegetables from these gardens to be able to be consumed without any health risks “A rough estimate is that this will cost between 25 and 50 million euros,” he said at the delivery of his first project to gain experience in remediating vegetable gardens the top 50 centimeters of contaminated soil has been dug up and replaced by clean soil The allotment grower planted some garlic plants in it on Monday director An Lemaire of Chemours and alderman Roelant Bijderwieden of Sliedrecht Members of the local protest group “Stop PFAS stop Chemours” also attended the gathering but they were forced to leave the premises They followed Lemaire’s speech from behind a fence walked with the Chemours director when she left the vegetable garden The location is situated opposite the factory on the other side of the Beneden-Merwede river The director said during her speech that the company is hoping that initiatives like this and other concrete steps will help them regain nearby residents’ trust Lemaire said that she knows that the company has a long way to go in order to achieve this “We are trying to put a point behind the past We want to do this with concrete actions and measures,” said Lemaire in Sliedrecht "We want to address the concerns of local residents and eliminate them," Lemaire repeated over and over again She also emphasized that Chemours has "enormously" reduced the emission of harmful substances "The situation is very different now than it was a few years ago We are at less than 1 percent emissions compared to what it was We are doing everything we can to eliminate the concerns The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) advised people to not eat anything from vegetable gardens within a kilometer of Chemours in 2022 After research was conducted in the municipalities of Dordrecht the RIVM concluded that the vegetables had higher concentrations of PFAS PFAS are chemical substances that can be damaging for people’s health and the environment The court thinks that Chemours (which used to be called DuPont) are responsible for the damage that occurred as a result of their pollution on the surfaces of Dordrecht Papendrecht and Sliedrecht between 1984

Developer Dispatch has begun construction on a 45MW/90MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the Netherlands was described by certifications and standards group DNV as the northern European country’s biggest standalone BESS project to date DNV congratulated Dispatch on achieving financial close for the project last week a couple of days after the developer announced via LinkedIn that construction had begun posting pictures of the 6,000m2 site and project partners at a celebration event Those partners include the BESS technology provider and system integrator Fluence with engineering procurement and construction (EPC) by Equans Energy & Infra which offers services including balance of plant Equans has been owned by French construction company Bouygues which acquired Equans from fellow French multinational ENGIE DNV acted as the developer’s technical advisor during the due diligence phase and will serve as the lender’s technical advisor throughout its lifetime which has been one of the big challenges for developers on the congested power grid to date The BESS will charge from the grid at off-peak times and when solar PV and wind generation are abundant outputting energy when needed during peak demand Project Amethyst is due to go into commercial operation in early 2026 and the energy trading arm of Dutch utility Eneco will optimise the asset’s market operation to market forecasts provided by data analytics company EnAppSys The project was publicly announced by Dispatch and Eneco in mid-June Dispatch’s finance partners are Belgian infrastructure investment fund EPICo² and Macquarie Capital Dispatch said in June that the project marks “the first of many in a strategic alliance” that the developer has formed with Australia’s Macquarie Capital The pair intend to collaborate on up to 3GWh of battery storage projects over the next seven years in the Netherlands the 2-hour project was designed in collaboration with local authorities The modular design of the 144 Fluence Cube BESS units and site layout have enabled it to optimise space utilisation The company also said the local permitting process was “streamlined” to expedite development While the claim to be the largest project in construction to date in the Netherlands holds true Project Amethyst looks set to be joined by many standalone and hybrid BESS projects of smaller or similar scale and a handful of much larger projects in the coming years The country’s largest operational BESS to date, the 30MW/68MWh ‘Pollux’ project by developer-owner SemperPower went online just before the end of last year Equans is working on a 35MW/100MWh project by its former owner ENGIE also to be supplied and integrated by Fluence which while having a larger storage capacity in megawatt-hours than Amethyst will be paired with a solar PV plant Meanwhile, two developers, Lion Storage and Giga Storage, are both hoping to start construction on projects in the country which will each be over 300MW/1,000MWh before the end of this year In September, ESN Premium spoke with representatives of developer LC Energy, which won an irrevocable permit for a 500MW/2,000MWh standalone project in Groningen managing director of LC Energy—a joint venture (JV) between the UK’s Low Carbon and Dutch engineers QING—said that the battery storage market has been unlocked by reforms to grid fees which lowered costs levied onto battery projects connecting to the power grid by about 65% no projects were able to achieve financial close in the Netherlands it remains challenging to develop large-scale BESS projects due to the scarcity of land in the densely populated country and zoning laws that make it difficult to site projects in mostly agricultural areas Many substations where batteries could connect to the transmission system in the Netherlands are often in rural areas The most 'crazy' audience in the Balkans: Dinamo beat Hajduk again, pressure proves too much for Split Dragan Skočić and Croatian trio deliver historic title for Tractor FC Dordrecht has become the first Dutch football club to officially leave X — the social network formerly known as Twitter and now owned by Elon Musk — citing a growing disconnect between the platform’s current direction and the club’s core values the Dutch second division club made it clear: “We no longer want to be associated with this platform.” “The acquisition of the X network by xAI (a company owned by Elon Musk) has changed the character and content of this platform,” the statement read We do not want to be associated with a platform where these values are being tested.” Dordrecht confirmed that all communication will now move to other social media platforms following the same path taken by three German clubs — St and Werder Bremen — who abandoned X earlier this year for similar political and ethical reasons All three German sides have since shifted their communication to BlueSky This marks a new chapter in the growing movement among European football clubs distancing themselves from Elon Musk’s controversial platform While X remains a central hub for global football discourse its evolving moderation policies and ownership ties have sparked increasing discomfort — especially among clubs that place high value on social responsibility and inclusion FC Dordrecht’s exit is symbolic — a

research for the AD. The study showed that residents of Dordrecht and surrounding areas are more concerned than the average person about the health risks in their living areas caused by the presence of PFAS. According to the newspaper, the only PFAS-producing factory in the Netherlands is the Chemours factory in Dordrecht. According to researchers, 23 percent of the residents in the Dordrecht region are very concerned about health risks in their living environments, while seven percent of the people in the rest of the Netherlands are concerned. Almost two-thirds (63%) of the residents in Dordrecht and surrounding areas think there are many or some health risks due to PFAS. A fifth of people in the rest of the Netherlands, excluding the Dordrecht region, believe this. Just under a quarter of the people in the Netherlands are taking measures that they think will reduce their chances of being exposed to PFAS compared to one in three people in the Dordrecht region who do this. The most common measure is buying fewer items that contain PFAS. Dordrecht residents are taking increasingly varied measures. One of the measures is that 59 percent have stopped eating or now eat fewer eggs made by chickens owned by private individuals. This measure is being followed by 26 percent of the population in the rest of the country. They also swim less in natural areas (58 percent and 19 percent) and often no longer eat vegetables or fruit from vegetable gardens (49 percent and 14 percent). Around six in ten Dutch residents are in favor of PFAS measures, such as stricter rules on production, more development of alternatives, and better check-ups of the water and companies. Around 37 percent of the residents in the Dordrecht area mentioned closing Chemours as a suitable measure compared to 23 percent of the residents in the rest of the country who mentioned this. For the people outside of Dordrecht, this was the least chosen measure. Around 46 percent of Dordrecht's residents support a general ban on PFAS, while 38 percent of the rest of the country also sees this as a suitable measure. PFAS, or per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, contain chemical materials that are hardly biodegradable and have been linked to cancer, higher cholesterol, and reproductive defects. Members of the I&O research panel, which consists of 1,645 Dutch people, filled out a questionnaire for the research. In addition, 504 panel members from the Dordrecht region also filled out the questionnaire. The Besix House in Dordrecht has been fully taken into use. When it was time to select an architect for the new construction of their head office in the Netherlands, this multidisciplinary construction company chose RoosRos Architecten.

The popular recreational lake was flushed in early June which is also done when there is blue-green algae The PFAS levels in the water then slowly decreased they were at about one-sixth of what the RIVM considers irresponsible for swimming water The institute determines these values ​​based on the effects of the various types of PFAS has on a person's health Swimming in the lake is possible until September 30 the investigation into the source of the pollution continues Chemours has previously promised to contribute to the cleaning of the Merwelandenplas and Molenlanden have held the plastics manufacturer liable for the pollution of the groundwater by PFAS on their territory The judge considers this proven for at least the period between 1984 and 1998 Hundreds of people participated in a protest march against Chemours in Dordrecht The protesters walked from the Oranjepark in Dordrecht via the De Staart district to the Baanhoekweg where Chemours is located including national and regional politicians from GroenLinks there was a large Greenpeace banner in front of the gate of the Chemours factory with the text 'We want clean air.' Scientist Rebellion acitivists also joined the Dordrecht residents in the protest march and claimed on X that Chemours is the biggest source of PFAS pollution in the Netherlands The action then continued in a nearby park local residents had emptied buckets of contaminated soil and water in front of the factory gate for the 219th time They have been doing this every Saturday morning for years "Chemours is doing everything it can to make as much money as possible at all costs," the organization of the protest march said And they pull out all the stops: not providing transparent information to governments not taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions." The activists want Chemours to stop all discharges and pay all costs for health research and water treatment They also believe that the company should compensate local residents who have suffered damage from PFAS emissions Chemours said in a statement: "We listen to the opinions and concerns that people express about our factory This is done not only through demonstrations but also in direct contact And we are always open to a conversation," the chemical factory said "The conversations show that we ultimately share the same goal: reducing our emissions as far as possible." The factory has been in Dordrecht since the 1960s the company emitted large quantities of substances that fall under the collective name PFAS Some of these are dangerous to people and the environment Chemours says it has significantly reduced emissions in recent years it produces "essential materials" responsibly including for medical care and the energy transition Sign InJoinGo Ahead Eagles bring in FC Dordrecht’s Belgian star | OneFootballGet Belgian & Dutch Football News Go Ahead Eagles have announced the signing of Mathis Suray from FC Dordrecht for the 2024/2025 season The 22-year-old Belgian midfielder has been a star player for the second division side this campaign with 13 goals and six assists in 38 matches The club are currently competing in the promotion play-offs in the second tier and drew their first leg with FC Emmen 2-2 Suray grabbed a goal and put in a man of the match display away from home The Belgian began his career with Charleroi and then moved to Anderlecht’s youth team He never made an appearance for the senior side moving across the border to the Netherlands in 2020 heh as made 118 appearances for Dordrecht and scored 20 goals He has also provided 14 assists in that time Suray has signed a contract with Go Ahead Eagles until 2027 GBeNeFN | Ben Jackson Related NewsGo Ahead Eagles v AZ Alkmaar preview: Go Ahead Eagles and AZ Alkmaar go head-to-head in cup final repeat Crystal Palace: Oliver Glasner provides Adam Wharton latest after injury scare ahead of Man City FA Cup final Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest: Eberechi Eze scores as Eagles get ready to peak in FA Cup final Fofana forced off in first half vs Genoa, but Milan optimistic ahead of Coppa Italia final Pulisic: Milan need to ‘keep momentum going’ against Genoa ahead of Coppa Italia final has relocated its office and shipyard from Rotterdam to a new facility in Dordrecht The newly acquired facility offers direct access to the water significantly enhancing the company’s capabilities in building and testing cutter suction dredgers Dredge Yard will be able to conduct comprehensive testing of its dredging equipment on-site ensuring the highest standards of quality and performance,” the company said The shipyard is now situated in the 2de Merwedehaven a prime location that places Dredge Yard in close proximity to many of its key suppliers and partners located in the Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) area
