Comment on Proposed Restriction of PFAS May 25, 2023 Japan Fluoropolymers Industry Association (JFIA) We, Japan Fluoropolymers Industry Association (JFIA), think that fluoropolymers should be distinguished from the proposed restriction of PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which collectively regulates more than 10,000 of organofluorine compounds (PFAS) on the grouping basis.

A decision tree for PFAS: Our potential solution to how this broad category of substances could be assessed in view of a REACH restriction Some of the main concerns regulators have around PFAS is their ubiquitous presence in the environment, combined with their potential persistence.
