The Environmental Protection Agency says it's designating two “forever chemicals” used in cookware, carpets and firefighting foams as hazardous substances.

A group of New Orleans residents whose homes were built on a toxic landfill decades ago have won a $75.3 million court judgement against the city, its housing authority and a local school board.
