From: Sent: 09 November 2022 11:12 To: Subject: Dutch Papers Hi Good to meet at the conference yesterday. I promised you a couple of Dutch papers, see extracts and links below. The paper I looked at had emissions of about 1 2 tpa of PFOA to air from DuPont, which doesnt sound enormously different to the estimated releases from AGC. However, Im reading tables in Dutch, errors are possible. Dutch news article on releases from their DuPont PTFE factory 'Chemical factory Chemours discharged much more GenX into water than allowed for months' - Zembla - BNNVARA The Dutch limit of Gen-X releases is quoted as 5kg per year. The article links to advice on vegetables grown near the factory PFAS in crops from vegetable gardens in Dordrecht, Papendrecht, Sliedrecht and Molenlanden | Rivm Crops from vegetable gardens that are further than a kilometer from the chemical company Dupont / Chemours in Dordrecht can be eaten. For a number of these vegetable gardens, RIVM advises to alternate eating crops with fruit and vegetables from the supermarket. RIVM advises not to eat crops from vegetable gardens that are less than 1 kilometer northeast of the chemical company. By eating these crops, people get so much Pfas (Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances)within which health effects cannot be excluded. The author is RIVM, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment for the Netherlands. The impact relates to historical emissions of PFOA. There is a link to breast milk study as well, but that does not seem to be very rigorous Baby's environment Chemours exposed to too much PFAS via breast milk - Zembla - BNNVARA. Paper attached on potential health impact on local residents and extract below. We do not lead on public health, we may advise the Local Authority, UKHSA or FSA of the Dutch papers. Please note that AGC have not been mentioned in any discussions with the Dutch regulator. Best wishes Abstract People living in the direct neighborhood of the Dupont/Chemours factory in Dordrecht have been exposed to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) by air for many years. It is likely that they have been chronically exposed to higher values of PFOA than the limit value for chronic exposure derived by RIVM. Several scenarios for emission were used to estimate the exposure period above the limit value. In the most unfavourable case, the limit value was exceeded for 25 years. At such a level of chronic exposure to PFOA, health effects, such as on the liver, cannot be excluded. The risk assessment did not indicate risks to the unborn child. The 2
