Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Alcoholic beverages contain ethanol, a type of alcohol that is the key ingredient in drinks like beer, wine, and spirits. Ethanol is also used in some household products, such as hand sanitizers and cleaning solutions. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies alcoholic beverages as Group 1, meaning they are carcinogenic to humans. This classification is based on strong evidence linking alcohol consumption to several types of cancer, including those of the mouth, throat, liver, and breast. IARC's evaluation, published in Monograph Volume 100E, notes that the risk increases with the amount of alcohol consumed. It's important to understand that this is a regulatory classification, not a medical diagnosis. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.

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.
