The public consultation seeks evidence on proposed PFAS restrictions
HSE, in its role as the Agency for UK REACH with support from the Environment Agency, has published an Annex 15 restriction report assessing the risks to the environment and human health from the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in firefighting foams (FFF).
We are suggesting restrictions on the placing on the market and use of PFAS in FFF, with sector-specific transition periods.
To inform the opinion-forming stage of the restriction process, a 6-month public consultation has been launched.
All stakeholders are encouraged to consider the questions and submit relevant evidence on PFAS in FFF including information on the suggested restrictions and sector-specific transition periods.
