🇺🇲US EPA fast-tracking new PFAS approvals for semiconductors Excerpt 'Recent testing data showed 78,000 parts per trillion (ppt) of PFAS in wastewater from one facility; the EPA legal limit for several common PFAS compounds is 4 ppt. The process also demands the use of fluorinated gases, or PFAS gas, in a range of processes, and their toxicological risks remain largely unknown. But they often turn into Triflouroacetic acid TFA, a toxic greenhouse gas that can stay in the atmosphere for 1,000 years. TFA is often found at higher levels than any other PFAS compound in the air, water and human blood, but independent researchers are only beginning to study it. Meanwhile, the EPA has altered the definition of PFAS in the rule to exclude many gases that are considered PFAS by most public health agencies worldwide. The exclusion has been a priority for the chemical industry and military.'

Is PFAS going to be what the Hexavalent Chromium was for the Automotive industries in the early 2000s or Asbestos in the 90es? Probably yes ! whilst European Chemicals Agency is considering its ban in the new REACH revision, there are other legislators like the State of Maine who are in the forefront of the protection of Human health and environment with PFAS (permanent chemicals : per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) ban in all products from 2030, we can expect many other legislators will follow, as PFAS harms to human health and environment is a scientific evidence : Is it possible to avoid PFAS in Li-ion batteries production? Yes, it is: 👇 https://lnkd.in/etPkAzuJ https://lnkd.in/eBU_6Fxq.

Latest ECHA Updates on REACH: Focus on Group 2 Chemicals https://lnkd.in/etZw-vhz

Latest ECHA Updates on REACH: Focus on Group 2 Chemicals   Quick Takeaways: ->Potential Restrictions: Substances from Group 2, such as Copper, 5-(acetylamino)-4-hydroxy-3-[[2-hydroxy-4-[[2-(sulfooxy)ethyl]sulfonyl]phenyl]azo]-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid complex and others, are being reviewed for health risks and might see new restrictions under REACH Annex XVII. ->Industry Impact: Industries using these specialized dyes, especially in textiles, might need to transition to safer alternatives to remain compliant and safeguard public health.

Lifecycle Assessment of PFAS: chemical manufacturers produce fluorinated monomers such as TFE (tetrafluoroethylene) and transform them into fluoropolymers using both fluorinated and non-fluorinated polymerization aids. There are technical and scientific indications that either of these production steps can be done without any non-polymeric PFAS emissions to the environment. A fluoropolymer industry-led initiative includes a platform to promote the adoption of commercially available state of the art technologies to minimize non-polymeric PFAS emissions during manufacturing.
