PFAS Updates: What’s Happening in the U.S. and EU

Register now to join Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C^®) affiliate The Acta Group (Acta^®) and EPPA for “PFAS Updates: What’s Happening in the U.S. and EU,” a complimentary webinar offering expert updates on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) regulatory developments. These substances are attracting global legal, regulatory, commercial, and litigation attention as no other “emerging contaminant” has. While the U.S. Administration is new, PFAS regulation continues at a rapid pace and U.S. state initiatives are evolving at an astonishing speed. The European Union’s (EU) proposed ban on PFAS in consumer, industrial, and professional products (with an initial emphasis on consumer products) and the consideration of exemptions for essential uses are closely watched developments with global implications. Member states have also introduced national bans on PFAS in consumer products, beyond what is covered by the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). Companies producing, processing, distributing, and/or using PFAS must be aware of global legal and scientific developments and take steps now to minimize legal, regulatory, and commercial risk.

During this webinar, Meglena Mihova, Managing Partner, EPPA, and Richard E. Engler, Ph.D., Director of Chemistry, Acta, will discuss regulatory developments in the United States and EU, including Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) developments, actions being taken by the states, and proposed PFAS restriction in the EU.
