PFAS #pollution is everywhere in Europe - in water, soil, food, even our bodies.
But the #PFAS crisis didn’t come out of nowhere. Weak chemical controls under EU REACH allowed this to happen.
A system meant to protect us simply didn’t. Here's how it can be improved: buff.ly/8wg3nV2

MEP @majdoulinesbai.bsky.social makes really important point about contradiction in Commission-speak about simplification & speed when it also talks of adding an industry-friendly RMOA process to #REACHrevision
We need #ToxicFreeFuture now & that means getting harmful chemicals off market urgently
EVP Séjourné: "acceleration" and "simplification" on #REACHrevision are top priorities, for reasons of public health & for companies
We say: vital that industry demands do not outweigh public health imperative to get harmful chemicals off market ASAP

This cartoon is entitled Chemical regulations. There are 3 people looking at a large white board which is entitled Chemicals regulations. On the board is a table with 2 columns: one says “costs” and just has “a bit more work for industry” listed. The other column is called “benefits” and it includes items such as “more wildlife” and “healthier people” and “cleaner water”. A 4th person, in a suit, is saying: “We can see from the industry analysis, the costs far outweigh the benefits”. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph
And as recent work by @eeb.org has shown, there is considerable overlap between 🇪🇺 #REACHRevision proposals and demands of chemicals industry lobby
