HEAL supports the EU’s proposal to list PBDD/F and PBCDD/F as Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in Annex C (= unintentional production) under the Stockholm Convention, due to the chemicals’ persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic properties as well as the well documented global exposure to the pollutants.
HEAL and CHEM Trust presented their joint statement on 6-7 June 2023 in the RAC discussion on the universal PFAS restriction
HEAL and CHEM Trust applaud the proposal for restriction, and request RAC to avoid derogations, in order set a global precedent in tackling these dangerous and bioaccumulative ‘forever chemicals’.
