Environmental charges, net Environmental charges represent the net charges associated with environmental remediation at continuing operating sites. See Note 13 for additional details. Environmental obligations for continuing operations primarily represent obligations at shut down or abandoned facilities within businesses that do not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. Product portfolio sales On February 1, 2018, we sold a portion of our European herbicide portfolio to Nufarm Limited. The sale was required by regulatory authorities as part of closing conditions for the DuPont acquisition. The gain on this sale is recorded within "Restructuring and other charges (income)" on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Proceeds from the sale are included in investing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
