REUTERS/Brendan McDermid Acquire Licensing RightsNov 8 (Reuters) - U.S. agricultural chemical and seed company Corteva (CTVA.N) on Wednesday reported a smaller third-quarter loss, helped by higher prices for its seeds. Corteva's third-quarter seed net sales rose to $878 million from $862 million a year earlier. However, sales volumes declined as a result of its exit from Russia and lower-than-expected corn planted area in Brazil. Corteva posted a net loss of $321 million, or 45 cents per share, in the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of $331 million, or 46 cents per share, a year earlier.

A fountain at Hermon High School in Maine is taped shut after the water tested over the state's safety limit for PFAS chemicals. The school's water recently tested above the state's safety limit for PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, often referred to as "forever chemicals." According to the Environmental Protection Agency, even tiny exposure to PFAS in drinking water could pose a serious health risk. Hermon High School is just one example of PFAS contamination currently affecting the community, according to Maine's attorney general, Aaron Frey. The company also expressed a commitment to remediate PFAS contamination, invest in water treatment and collaborate with communities.
