EPA proposes a rule requiring companies to disclose PFAS in products but only covers a fraction of the toxic 'forever' chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, and hormone irregularities.
But Bowman said it will be more difficult for manufacturers to remove PFAS used in the production of semiconductor chips and printed circuit boards, since alternative products are still in the research phase.to the proposed reporting requirements because, it maintains, semiconductor manufacturing is so complex that it would be “impossible, even with an unlimited amount of time and resources, to discern the presence of PFAS in such articles.” Other industries have also asked for waivers.
While the council’s member companies “support strong, science-based regulations of PFAS chemistries that are protective of human health and the environment,” Flanagin said, the rules shouldn’t harm economic growth “or hamper businesses and consumers from accessing the products they need.” And another worry: If the data does make it into the mainstream, will consumers simply tune it out — just as many do with? Lunder doesn’t think so, since “the audience is scientists, regulators, and — for better or for worse — tort attorneys.”
