- Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) - ECHA
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of thousands of synthetic chemicals that are used throughout society However, they are increasingly detected as environmental pollutants and some are linked to negative effects on human health They all contain carbon-fluorine bonds, which are one of the strongest chemical bonds in organic chemistry This means that they resist
- Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large, complex group of synthetic chemicals that have been used in consumer products around the world since about the 1950s They are ingredients in various everyday products For example, PFAS are used to keep food from sticking to packaging or cookware, make clothes and carpets resistant to stains, and create firefighting foam that is more

Scientific evaluation of the proposal to restrict per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – Current status The European Chemical Agency’s (ECHA) scientific committees for Risk Assessment (RAC) and for Socio-Economic Analysis (SEAC) are currently evaluating the proposal to restrict PFAS in the EU EEA, alongside comments received during the six-month consultation This evaluation is being
- Progress document - ECHA
The basis for the proposed restriction is the fact that PFAS and their degradation products may persist in the environment for a very long period, longer than any other man-made chemical Further concerns are their bioaccumulation, mobility, long range transport potential (LRTP), accumulation in plants, global warming potential and (eco)toxicological effects The EU-wide risk arises from the

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are found globally and have been detected in soil, surface and groundwater, wildlife, and in humans NIEHS is committed to studying the health outcomes and cleanup of PFAS, as well as communicating research findings to diverse audiences
- All news - ECHA
The Committees for Risk Assessment (RAC) and for Socio-Economic Analysis (SEAC) progressed their evaluation of the proposed restriction on PFAS Additionally, RAC adopted 13 opinions on harmonised classification and labelling, including those for silver nitrate and synthetic amorphous silica
