A webinar focusing on fluoropolymers, titled 'Fluoropolymer Webinar: Insights from the OECD, science updates and safer alternatives in focus,' is scheduled for Monday, March 18, from 15:00 to 16:00 (CET) on the Zoom platform.
The event aims to address the recurring assertion that fluoropolymers should be exempt from regulation based on "low concern according to the OECD criteria," despite the absence of such criteria. Speakers include Dr. Jonatan Kleimark, Senior Chemicals and Business Advisor at ChemSec, Dr. Eeva Leinala, Principal Administrator at the Environment Health and Safety Programme, Environment Directorate, OECD, and Dr. Emil Damgaard-Møller, PFAS Consultant at the Danish Technological Institute. Additional speakers are yet to be announced.
Attendees can expect insights into the OECD's perspective on polymers, updates on the current scientific understanding of fluoropolymers, and information on efforts to identify and develop safer alternatives. The objective of the webinar is to provide factual information without sensationalism. Interested participants can register for the event to stay informed about the latest developments in fluoropolymer regulations and advancements in safer alternatives."
