#Belgium has highest levels of #PFAS chemical #pollution in Europe, study reveals

Major mapping project reveals PFAS have been found at high levels at thousands of sites across Europe. EURACTIV’s media partner, The Guardian, reports.

By Leana Hosea and Rachel Salvidge, Feb 24, 2023

"Pollutants known as 'forever chemicals', which don’t break down in the environment, build up in the body and may be toxic, have been found at high levels at thousands of sites across the UK and Europe, a major mapping project has revealed.

"The map shows that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a family of about 10,000 chemicals valued for their non-stick and detergent properties, have made their way into water, soils and sediments from a wide range of consumer products, firefighting foams, waste and industrial processes.

"Two PFAS have been linked to an array of health problems. PFOA has been connected with kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, high cholesterol and pregnancy-induced hypertension. PFOS has been associated with reproductive, developmental, liver, kidney, and thyroid disease. At lower levels PFAS have been associated with immunotoxicity.

"The substances have been found at about 17,000 sites across the #UK and #Europe. Of these, PFAS have been detected at high concentrations of more than 1,000 nanograms a litre of water at about 640 sites, and above 10,000ng/l at 300 locations."

Nation’s largest fire union sues entity that sets standards for safety over #PFAS requirement

by Brad Petrishen, March 16, 2023

"The lawsuit alleges that the National Fire Protection Agency conspired with 'others' to ensure that an inner moisture barrier in the gear would have to contain PFAS in order to pass a specific 'UV light test' designated by a particular technical requirement.

"The suit alleges that the test was designed in a way to mandate the use of PFAS, and that the National Fire Protection Agency, despite requests to remove the standard, has refused."

EU considers ban on 'forever chemicals', urges search for alternatives

By Ludwig Burger, February 7, 2023

• Proposed ban to grant grace periods between 18 mths and 12 yrs
• Non-degradable PFAS found as far as "rain water in Tibet"
• Ban could take effect in 2026 or 2027
• Industry group warns some key products could be "eliminated"
• Further reviews will involve ECHA, EU commission, member states

"The chemicals have been used in tens of thousands of products, including cars, textiles, medical gear, wind mills and non-stick pans due to their long-term resistance to extreme temperatures and corrosion.

"But #PFAS have also been linked to health risks like cancer, hormonal dysfunction and a weakened immune system as well as #environmental damage."

#EPA Proposes New Standard for Removing Harmful ‘#ForeverChemicals’ Found in Drinking Water

Here’s where they come from—and why removing them is more challenging than you might think.

By Korin MillerPublished: Mar 15, 2023

- The EPA issued a new proposal to remove #PFAS from water supplies nationwide.
- The proposal targets six out of thousands of known forever chemicals.
- The #chemicals have been linked to #cancer, thyroid issues, and fertility problems, among other things.

"The EPA shared in a news release that the new levels would be “legally enforceable” if the proposal is finalized. While there are more than 9,000 PFAS known to be in existence, the proposal focuses on six. The proposal would regulate PFOA and #PFOS, along with four other PFAS—#PFNA, #PFHxS, #PFBS, and #GenXChemicals—as a mixture."

En Espagne, des autopsies de personnes peu exposées ont été réalisées et des #PFAS ont été retrouvées pratiquement partout et même de manière assez conséquente, même des PFAS à molécules courtes" https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/auvergne-rhone-alpes/rhone/lyon/temoignage-polluants-eternels-mon-quatrieme-enfant-est-au-cimetiere-je-suspecte-les-pfas-raconte-une-medecin-italienne-2724890.html

[20minutes] - #HauteSavoie : Quel industriel a contaminé les #NappesPhréatiques de #Rumilly ?

Selon une enquête du journal « Le Monde », d’importantes concentrations de #PFOA ont été retrouvées dans les eaux de la commune

#PFAS oder #PFOA ist bei uns in der Gegend schon seit ein paar Jahren ein Thema.

« Comme les sociétés pétrolières avec le changement climatique, « l’industrie chimique en savait manifestement beaucoup sur les problèmes liés aux #PFAS depuis très, très longtemps ». Depuis 1961 exactement, date à laquelle #DuPont et #3M ont pris conscience de la toxicité du #PFOA, comme l’ont montré les documents internes rendus publics à la suite de procès aux États-Unis. »

#PFA #FOREVERCHEMICALS HACK OUR BODY SECURITY SYSTEM BY MIMICKING MOLECULAR KEYS

PFAS — especially #PFOA — interrupt body functions is by impersonating another substance the body has grown to expect and welcome. On a molecular level, PFOA resembles fatty acids, and this allows it to click into certain receptors — called nuclear receptors — in the cell.

Essentially, the molecule fools the cell "into thinking it knows the secret handshake, and that's how it gets in the door," Romano said.
