EU Commission Adopts Amendment to POPs Regulation Regarding UV-328 and PFOA
On May 5, 2025, the European Commission adopted draft amendments to the EU POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 concerning UV-328 and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), as well as its salts and related compounds. The draft proposes to include UV-328 in Annex I of the POPs Regulation for control, due to its potential to cause damage to the liver and kidneys and its endocrine-disrupting effects. Furthermore, the draft amends the exemptions for PFOA and its salts and related compounds in Annex I, setting a specific limit value for use in firefighting foam and extending the validity period of this exemption.
