    The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has published the updated proposal to restrict per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under the EU’s chemicals regulation, REACH.

    It is totally insane to basically eliminate #NIOSH. It provided top quality data on how to maintain a #healthy (=productive!) workforce. It’s also worth noting that not only the 900 NIOSH staff were laid off. They also cut most external NIOSH programs. In total this brings several thousand highly qualified experts on the global job market.

  8. #PFAS-Verbot: Eine Welt ohne #Teflon?

    Die europäische #Chemikalienagentur #ECHA erwägt weit reichende Beschränkungen für fluorierte Chemikalien, die in Düsentriebwerken, Elektroautos, Kühlsystemen, Halbleitern und unzähligen Endprodukten verwendet werden. Das hätte Folgen für viele Lebensbereiche.

  9. This February, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki published a proposal that could lead to the world’s largest-ever clampdown on chemicals production. The plan, put forward by environmental agencies in five countries — Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden — would heavily restrict the manufacture of more than 12,000 substances, collectively known as forever chemicals. #ECHA #PFAS #ForeverChemicals nature.com/articles/d41586-023
