Let’s clarify PFAS
The new European Commission committed to clarify on PFAS in its political guidelines for the next European Commission 2024−2029. The Chemical Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) recognised that PFAS require special attention due to widespread soil and water contamination, including drinking water, in the EU and globally. Also, scientists are warning that the increasing stock of PFAS pollution is surpassing safe operating space of planetary boundaries, which threatens human health and the environment. A universal PFAS restriction was proposed and currently undergoes the process of scientific scrutiny to allow an informed decision of the policymakers later on.
In this paper, we present what we want to clarify, and what we ask clarification for from the European Commission.
