13 Sep 2024 --- The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) has voiced concerns over the perspective taken in the recently published Draghi report on the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation and calls for policymakers to prioritize health and environmental safety over short-term economic considerations by “supporting the proposed EU-wide PFAS restriction and setting clear time limits for any derogations.”While the report emphasizes the financial challenges of replacing PFAS, HEAL argues that this approach is “fundamentally flawed,” given the health and environmental risks posed by these toxic chemicals.
