PFAS, Chromium VI and worker safety: June committee updates
In this episode of the Safer Chemicals Podcast, host Adam Elwan is joined by Roberto Scazzola, Chair of the Risk Assessment Committee (RAC), and Maria Ottati, Chair of the Socio-economic Analysis Committee (SEAC), to unpack the latest developments from the June committee meetings.
We talk about:
The evolving PFAS restriction proposal, with a focus on medical devices, lubricants, and the electronics and semiconductor sectors
SEAC’s conclusions on the transport sector and the socio-economic analysis of PFAS uses
The new restriction proposal on Chromium VI substances and what the conformity check entails
A deep look at occupational exposure limits (OELs), including the latest recommendation for bisphenol A (BPA) and how these limits protect workers across the EU
The episode also touches on the challenges of group restrictions, the importance of stakeholder input, and how lessons learnt in Europe may shape global chemical safety standards.
