A network of communities affected by PFAS pollution across Europe<\/b><\/h2>\n

We are a collaborative and evolving network, shaped by its participants and built by and for people affected by PFAS pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n

It brings together people living in PFAS hotspots concerned about the impact of PFAS pollution on communities across Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

🤝 The Stop PFAS Forum is an initiative of the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), Europe\u2019s largest network of environmental citizens\u2019 organisations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, we work for a strong and ambitious European PFAS phase out.<\/b><\/h4>\n

What is the network about?<\/b><\/h3>\n

🔗 Connecting communities affected by PFAS pollution across Europe.<\/span>
\n<\/span> 📚 Sharing experiences, knowledge and good practices.<\/span>
\n<\/span> 📢 Building collective actions and campaigns.<\/span>
\n<\/span> 🏛️ Making sure affected citizens\u2019 voices reach decision-makers in Brussels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why now?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The EU is considering a historic phase-out of PFAS, but industry lobbying risks weakening this initiative. There are already signs that the ambition for a comprehensive PFAS restriction is being challenged.<\/span><\/p>\n

The coming months will be crucial. People affected by PFAS pollution must have a strong voice in European decision-making, to counterbalance the intense lobbying and misinformation surrounding the debate.<\/span><\/p>\n

PFAS: the invisible pollution crisis<\/b><\/h3>\n

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of more than 10,000 human-made chemicals used since the 1940s. Found in many everyday products and industrial processes, they are known as \u201cforever chemicals\u201d because they do not easily break down in nature.<\/p>\n

PFAS can spread through water and air, travel across the planet and build up in living organisms, including humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, they are found almost everywhere \u2013 from wildlife and ecosystems to drinking water, food, and bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exposure is so widespread that PFAS have been detected in 100% of teenagers tested.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PFAS have been linked to serious health impacts, including certain cancers, fertility<\/span><\/p>\n

problems, birth defects and effects on the immune system. People exposed to higher levels of PFAS, as well as vulnerable groups such as children and older people, may face greater risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join us<\/b><\/h3>\n

Anyone living in a PFAS hotspot or taking action against PFAS pollution at local level is welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

Contact <\/span>No\u00e9mie J\u00e9gou<\/b> at <\/span>noemie.jegou@eeb.org<\/b> and tell us a little about yourself and where you live.<\/span><\/p>\n
