European Union ministers are collaborating with the European Parliament to secure early restrictions on perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS), and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA);C8
Commercially available in the form of salts, derivatives and polymers, PFOS-related substances have been used particularly to provide grease, oil and water resistance to textiles, carpets and paper, though industry is already turning to safer substitutes.Voting here on 25 October, MEPs agreed by 632 votes to 10 that EU-wide restrictions on PFOS should be imposed by mid-2008.
A Commission suggestion that such foams should be exempted was rejected. Instead, the legislation will allow 54 months’ continued use of PFOS foam supplied in the 12 months before the legislation enters into force.
