There is a growing push to regulate PFAS, a group of thousands of substances showing persistence and toxicity concerns demonstrated for some through extensive scientific studies. Many countries/regions have taken steps to address these substances, with the EU’s PFAS restriction proposal, US EPA’s TSCA 8(a)(7) reporting and recordkeeping rule, and US state-level bills such as from Maine, Vermont and California being notable examples.
With significant regulatory progress being made and on the horizon, especially in the EU and US, and some compliance deadlines approaching, industry must prepare adequately to address the complexities associated with compliance with such PFAS regulations.
