Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006

This regulation proposes to restrict the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in firefighting foams. PFAS are a group of chemicals that can persist in the environment and accumulate in living organisms, raising concerns about their potential health and environmental impacts.

The amendment aims to protect human health and the environment by limiting the presence of these substances in widely used firefighting products, potentially affecting emergency services and related industries.
