Exploring Global Regulations on PFAS
On December 4, Claigan Environmental Inc. will host an informative webinar centered on the pressing issue of PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) regulations across the globe. With significant strides made recently in regulatory frameworks influenced by public sentiment and international conventions, this event promises to deliver essential insights into the current landscape and future expectations surrounding PFAS.
Background on PFAS Regulation
Over the past few years, the urgency for regulating PFAS has surged, driven by health concerns and advocacy from organizations including the UN Stockholm Convention. Public opinion has played a pivotal role in pushing for stricter regulations, highlighting the potential dangers posed by certain PFAS compounds. In contrast, industry players have begun to advocate for the continued usage of fluoropolymers, focusing the discussion on the differences between these compounds and the water-soluble PFAS salts that have garnered negative media attention.
