Finally we get to see the #Chemicals Industry Action Plan.

See our initial response on #PFAS #ForeverPollution

As we get ready for the Commission's announcements on #Chemicals later today, here is a little reminder why a ban on a handful of consumer uses of #PFAS would fail to tackle the ever-growing #ForeverPollution crisis.

See thread and cartoons below.

Thank you very much @generationsfutures.fr for 🇫🇷 version of our new briefing on #PFAS.

It explores why 🇪🇺 Commission's proposed ban on PFAS in consumer products wouldn't be good enough to tackle #ForeverPollution

Cartoon shows a big yellow banner saying: Big Chemicals Megacorp. In the image there is a graph on the wall with an upwards axis depicting euros and the graph has a steep upwards trajectory. A suited man on the left is holding a full champagne glass and saying “Bloody well done us!” The suited man on the right looks worried and is saying “The graph isn’t profits; it’s the costs of removing forever chemicals in the environment”. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

2️⃣ The mooted definition of consumer uses is really weak.

It's vital that 🇪🇺 action on #PFAS tackles full extent of #ForeverPollution crisis, not a small proportion of it.

Otherwise it would be a disaster for public health, environment, & public purse.

Au lendemain de cette cérémonie, les députés Français ont adopté la proposition de loi visant à protéger la population des risques liés aux #PFAS.

Quelle semaine et quel honneur d’avoir contribué au #ForeverPollution project en 2023 !

@raphaelleaubert.bsky.social @garydagorn.fr Luc Martinon @thomassteffen.bsky.social et moi-même sommes honorés et heureux d'avoir reçu le prix Louise Weiss du journalisme européen pour le #ForeverPollution Project.
Merci à l’Association des journalistes européens et à @lemonde.fr !

It's brilliant to see actions by affected communities to raise awareness & demand action on #PFAS

Anbefaler Mari Brenna Vollans informative sak om PFAS i turtøy i dagens Klassekampen. #foreverpollution Litt trist å lese om interesse for å sikre seg de siste PFAS-plaggene før miljøgiftene blir forbudt. #foreverlobbying klassekampen.no/artikkel/202...

The number is eye-watering: 2.000.000.000.000 euros to clean-up PFAS pollution in 20 years if we don't stop emitting. Here with

PFAS im Skiwachs: Schnell, aber tödlich? PFAS im Skiwachs: Schnell, aber tödlich?

„Es ist so ein großes Problem: Wir verwandeln unsere Umwelt gerade in eine Art Chemiedeponie“ -- starkes Zitat von NDR-Reporter Joannes Edelhoff im heutigen 11KM-Podcast der Tagesschau zum PFAS-Problem. Johannes recherchiert seit Jahren zu PFAS, wichtige 40 Minuten heute Morgen. #ForeverPollution

Das Billionen-Euro-Problem: Sanierung von PFAS-Verschmutzung extrem teuer PFAS-Chemikalien aus der Umwelt zu entfernen, könnte allein in Deutschland pro Jahr mindestens 800 Millionen Euro kosten.

NEU bei NDRWDRSZ: Egal ob Solarzellen oder beschichtete Pfannen: PFAS-Chemikalien werden in vielen Alltagsprodukten eingesetzt. Doch weil sie massenhaft in die Umwelt gelangen, könnte die Sanierung Recherchen des „Forever Lobbying Project“ zufolge Hunderte Milliarden Euro kosten. #ForeverPollution
