About this presentation

Most PFAS are persiste nt\, some are hazardous\, others aren’t. Some PFAS are used in critical applications whereas other applications use PFAS as other materials don’ t perform as well but where alternatives may be available or potentially d eveloped even if these alternatives may not be technically equivalent. Is the technical performance of PFAS always required? Has society\, including the chemical industry\, become dependent on PFAS without fully appreciati ng their impact on the environmental and sustainability? Are less critical PFAS applications needed to ensure availability for the essential ones? H ow do we decide between trivial\, critical and es sential applications and uses? Are all PFAS really the ‘chemical devils ’ they are portrayed to be?

< p class=MsoNormal>There ar e so many questions about PFAS and whether they have a viable future due t o the developing regulatory landscape globally despite their many applicat ions. A brief overview on current and developing EU and UK regulations wil l be shared along with an opinion on the direction of future regulation an d applications of PFAS.
