| Résumé : |
On 7 February 2023, ECHA published an EU REACH Restriction proposal for PFASs, the most significant regulatory measure targeting this chemical class by any government to date.
The proposal was submitted by Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
PFAS are a group of several thousand different highly fluorinated synthetic (man-made) substances, both polymeric and non-polymeric. They are defined as fluorinated substances that contain at least one fully fluorinated methyl or methylene carbon atom (without any H/Cl/Br/I atom attached to it), i.e., with a few noted exceptions, any chemical with at least a perfluorinated methyl group (–CF3) or a perfluorinated methylene group (–CF2–) is a PFAS. |
