Regulated substances (12)
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) — generic (REACH SVHC)
PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a large group of human-made chemicals used to make products resistant to water, grease, and stains. You'll find them in non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging, and some firefighting foams. The European Union's REACH regulation lists PFAS as "substances of very high concern" because they are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT). This means they don't break down easily in the environment, build up in living organisms, and can cause long-term harm. Because PFAS are so widespread and stable, multiple subgroups are regulated under the Candidate List and other restrictions. The goal is to phase out their use and reduce pollution. For more details, see the EU REACH SVHC Candidate List at https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
