Jeudi, septembre 28, 2023

PFAS are used extensively across multiple industries, including bioprocessing, due to their unique functional properties and low reactivity.

Key Points: 
  • PFAS are used extensively across multiple industries, including bioprocessing, due to their unique functional properties and low reactivity.
  • This restriction proposes a universal ban over time on the use of all fluoropolymers in all applications, without distinguishing between fluoropolymers and other PFAS substances.
  • "Let's find solutions that better balance the environmental and health concerns with the needs of patients, consumers and the bioprocessing industry."
  • We urge ECHA to reconsider its proposed restriction based on the available scientific data and risk assessments regarding PFAS substances, including fluoropolymers, used in bioprocessing.
