The substance PFOA , an environmentally hazardous fluorine substance, is currently banned in the EU, but unfortunately with a number of significant exceptions. NGOs call for most of these exceptions to be removed, as there are less harmful alternatives.
The Ecological Council concludes a number of environmental and health organizations expressing concerns about the EU Commission about the substance PFOA.
PFOA is found in a wide range of products, but is a highly degradable and environmentally hazardous fluorinated substance. There is a ban on PFOA in the EU, but unfortunately, after pressure from industry, with a number of significant exceptions.
