Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used in a wide range of applications due to their heat resistance and ability to repel water and oil. However, because they are virtually indegradable in nature and remain in the body once ingested by living organisms or the human body, they have been particularly pioneering in the United States as "forever chemicals."
PFAS regulations in the United States can be broadly divided into federal and state-level regulations. At the federal level, there is no single, comprehensive PFAS regulation like the EU's proposed universal PFAS restriction. Instead, PFAS regulations exist within environmental laws such as the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Meanwhile, 30 states now regulate PFAS-containing products. This year, New Mexico joined Maine and Minnesota in enacting comprehensive PFAS regulations.
This webinar will begin with a historical overview of PFAS management, provide updates on major PFAS regulations in the United States, and share the outlook for future regulations.
