The new Mark Ruffalo film Dark Waters puts highly fluorinated chemicals firmly back in the public spotlight, for good reason. Toxic PFAS pollution is now widespread, but the scene is dominated by vested interests seeking to maintain the status quo. With the EU set to announce the most wide-reaching reform of chemical safety laws in over a decade, notably the so-called \u201cuniversal restriction on\u201d PFAS, understanding this dense field is more crucial than ever. We have brought together three top independent researchers to explain the current state of knowledge for all professionals dealing with or interested in PFASs.
\nIf you are unable to attend, please email alessia.biasioli@eeb.org<\/a> for recordings.<\/p>\n

Next to this, EEB draws to your attention a short report on the status and uses of PFASs in the EU, published a while ago: “PFAS – avoid the street light effect”<\/a>.<\/p>\n
