Dear all,
The European Environmental Bureau (EEB) is pleased to invite you to a series of webinars:
Europe's PFAS problem: situation briefings by independent experts
The new Mark Ruffalo film Dark Waters puts highly fluorinated chemicals firmly back in the public spotlight, for good
reason. Toxic PFAS pollution is now widespread, but the scene is dominated by vested interests seeking to maintain
the status quo. With the EU set to announce the most wide-reaching reform of chemical safety laws in over a
decade, including a PFAS action plan and ECHA restriction proposals, understanding this dense field is more crucial
than ever. We have brought together four top independent researchers to explain the current state of knowledge
for all professionals dealing with or interested in PFASs.
If you are unable to attend, please email
@eeb.org for recordings.
Next to this, EEB proudly presents a short report attached to this email on the status and uses of PFASs in the EU: "PFAS - avoid the street light effect".
