The UK Parliament Environmental Audit Committee has launched an Inquiry into PFAS. Submissions of written evidence can be made up to 26 May.
The announcement mentions that…. “Members will be considering whether enough is being done to understand fully the risks of PFAS in the UK and whether research institutions and the Environment Agency are equipped to monitor their impact”. It also states…. “The Committee will also examine the UK’s regulatory framework for the use and disposal of PFAS, and will be asking whether UK registration, evaluation, authorisation, and restriction of chemicals is adequate. The inquiry will also compare the UK approach to other jurisdictions around the world, such as the European Union and the United States of America”.
With the EU chemicals strategy now moving forwards following the election of new Commissioners in the European Union at the end of 2024, this joint CIA/REACHReady one-day seminar will cover topics around the UK’s new chemicals legislation with a focus on UK REACH as well as the future of UK chemicals policy.
