The use of PFASs is a major focus for regulatory authorities worldwide right now. In Europe, the REACH restriction proposal aims to place limits on all uses of more than 10,000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Meanwhile, in the US, restrictions are high on the agenda in several states.
The increasing number of actions being taken against the so-called “forever chemicals” presents a real challenge for those in chemicals management. The use of PFAS is widespread across sectors, including consumer products such as cookware, personal care and textiles, as well as numerous industrial applications.
Staying ahead of changing PFASs regulation is essential for product safety professionals managing chemicals.
