Valtioneuvoston asetus perfluorioktaanisulfonaattien markkinoille luovuttamisen ja käytön rajoittamisesta / Statsrådets förordning om begränsning av utsläpp på marknaden och av användning av perfluoroktansulfonat

This regulation aims to restrict the sale and use of perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS) to protect human health and the environment. These substances are persistent organic pollutants that can accumulate in living organisms and cause long-term ecological damage. Manufacturers, importers, and users of products containing these chemicals will be subject to strict limitations or bans. This measure ensures safer alternatives are prioritized in industrial and consumer applications.
