Policy Brief: Development of methods for PFAS analyses in articles and chemical products is needed

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of more than 10 000 substances that have been used in articles and chemical products for decades. Due to concerns for the environment and human health, PFAS have become subject to regulation in the EU and globally. The newly published report “Analysis of needs for enforcement of PFAS in articles and chemical products” shows a need for development of standardized and validated analytical methods for enforcement and compliance with current and coming PFAS regulations in the EU.
