Want a deep-dive into our tools to identify and phaesout PFAS? zeropm.eu/2023/09/zeropm…

Very disappointing….

#PFAS chemicals can be found in water, soil, food packaging... And they could be harmful to our body. Today like many other Europeans, I took a test to measure their level in my blood. We must expand our knowledge, and this is my small step to make it happen. @Green_Europe

Don’t miss this one!

Another clear and strong argument to restrict all PFAS asap!

Really happy to be joined by this great crowd of companies to the cabinet of @ThierryBreton - all supporting the chemical strategy and asking for stricter chemical regulation.

Societal cost of ‘forever chemicals’ about $17.5tn across global economy – report theguardian.com/environment/20…

🚨More than 100 consumer brands, including Swedish #fashion giant @hm say they are strongly in support of the European Union's proposed ban on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, according to the @chemsec NGO🚨 #PFAS ecotextile.com/2023032230508/…

We are revising our #REACH legislation for chemicals. Today we discussed with key stakeholders at the @Europarl_EN how to make it a driver for green & safe innovation. We owe this to our citizens & our environment but also to our industry that needs predictability urgently.

Fun fact: “forever chemicals” was just added to the dictionary. smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/dic…

“We have companies who want to phase out PFAS; they see restriction of this huge group of chemicals as a positive thing, they know it spurs innovation- they know the market for alternatives will grow. They need regulation really” @fridahok @chemsec stresses #PFAS #EU_REACH

@HealthandEnv @fridahok @EU_ECHA @CHEMTrust @Green_Europe @arnikaorg @SKyriakidesEU @VSinkevicius @TimmermansEU @AIM_Healthcare @leotrasande @CancerLeagues @FIGOHQ The EU's plan to completely ban PFAS is a hugely important decision for the environment, but it's also one that will have consequences on the production of cancer and HIV drugs as some types of PFAS are needed to prevent these diseases

📢 @EU_ECHA today released a proposal for an EU-wide restriction of #PFAS chemicals. HEAL welcomes this important step forward to cut PFAS emissions at the source and will judge the result upon health protection criteria. Our reaction 👉 bit.ly/3lhGT7Z #BanPFAS

Important update of the Candidate List, including some "favorite" #SINList substances like #melamine and #Bisphenol S.

Scientists call for extending target 7 of the post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework to include more groups of chemicals, and explaining why so: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… The connection between manmade hazardous chemicals and biodiversity loss is obvious #COP15

Call to phase out #PFAS #foreverchemicals gains investor momentum reuters.com/business/envir… #ExposureBook @DarkWatersMovie @Taftlaw @rightlivelihood

Noted the chemical industry's criticism of me and my work on #PFAS. Apparently they define what is detectable and safe. How about: we're sorry for contaminating the entire planet and everyone who lives on it with PFAS? americanchemistry.com/chemistry-in-a…

Efter 35 år i naturens tjänst läggs miljödepartementet ner av den nya M-KD-L-regeringen. Det är en tydlig och allvarlig signal om nedprioriteringen av miljöpolitiken. #svpol #regeringsförklaring

This is how I feel today- being punched right in my face. REACH revision needs to happen now, not a year from now!

REACH revision needs to happen now- a delay would mean continued exposure of harmful chemicals to all citizens and our environment.
