Suedia declară război „substanțelor chimice eterne”. Interdicția va viza hainele, încălțămintea și cosmeticele

Sweden will ban PFAS substances in consumer products starting January 1, 2028, ahead of EU regulations. The Swedish Environment Minister emphasized the need for alternatives to these harmful chemicals. The legislation will cover various daily-use items, including clothing, cookware, and cosmetics. PFAS, known as 'forever chemicals', are persistent in the environment and linked to health risks. Sweden's temporary measure signals the EU's future direction on PFAS restrictions, with a broader proposal expected in 2027.
