PFAS
On January 3, 2025, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) broadened the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) by incorporating nine more per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), as per the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020. This update elevates the count of PFAS on the TRI to 205.
On November 20, 2024, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) together with authorities from Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden, released a detailed report outlining the latest developments in restricting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Europe. The report is based on over 5,600 pieces of scientific and technical feedbacks collected during the public consultation period in 2023, aiming to update and refine the management strategy for PFAS.
