Information Requirements under the Essential-Use Concept: PFA Case Studies

Juliane Gluge, Rachel London, Ian T. Cousins, Jamie DeWitt, Gretta Goldenman, Dorte Herzke, Rainer Lohmann, Mark Miller, Carla A. Ng, Sharyle Patton, Xenia Trier, Zhanyun Wang, Martin Scheringer

Summary: The study reveals that there are diverse uses of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), with limited information on alternatives. PFAS in consumer products can be easily replaced, while their uses in industrial processes require thorough evaluation. It is necessary to enhance coordination among stakeholders to ensure a transparent and coordinated phase-out of PFAS.

Combined Use of Total Fluorine and Oxidative Fingerprinting for Quantitative Determination of Side-Chain Fluorinated Polymers in Textiles

Summary: This article presents a new method for comprehensive characterization of side-chain fluorinated polymers (SFPs), which utilizes the total oxidizable precursor assay for structural elucidation and combustion ion chromatography for quantification. The method allows for quantitative determination of SFPs in units of side chain mass and estimation of PFAA degradation products.

An Outdoor Aging Study to Investigate the Release of Per- And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) from Functional Textiles

Steffen Schellenberger, Ioannis Liagkouridis, Raed Awad, Stuart Khan, Merle Plassmann, Gregory Peters, Jonathan P. Benskin, Ian T. Cousins

Summary: The emission of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from functional textiles was investigated through an outdoor weathering experiment. It was found that the textiles released low molecular weight PFAS substances after continuous exposure to natural stressors, and the color and water repellency of the textiles were also affected.

Outside the Safe Operating Space of a New Planetary Boundary for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

Ian T. Cousins, Jana H. Johansson, Matthew E. Salter, Bo Sha, Martin Scheringer

Summary: It is hypothesized that environmental contamination by PFAS has exceeded the planetary boundary. Levels of PFAAs in various global environmental media often exceed guideline values, indicating widespread contamination. The high persistence of PFAAs in atmospheric deposition makes reversibility difficult, highlighting the urgent need to restrict PFAS uses and emissions.

Grouping of PFAS for human health risk assessment: Findings from an independent panel of experts

J. K. Anderson, R. W. Brecher, I. T. Cousins, J. DeWitt, H. Fiedler, K. Kannan, C. R. Kirman, J. Lipscomb, B. Priestly, R. Schoeny, J. Seed, M. Verner, S. M. Hays

Summary: An expert panel discussed the challenges of grouping per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for protecting human health and assessing the risks of PFAS mixtures. They agreed that inconsistent interpretations of PFAS human health risks and limited data pose significant challenges for risk assessment. The experts suggested that all PFAS should not be grouped together, persistence alone is not enough for grouping, and subgroup definitions should be case-specific. They also proposed a tiered approach for assessing PFAS lacking analytical and toxicological studies.

The essential-use concept: a valuable tool to guide decision-making on applications for authorisation under REACH?

Romain Figuiere, Flora Borchert, Ian T. Cousins, Marlene agerstrand

Summary: The purpose of the study is to investigate whether changes in the legal text and information required in an application for authorisation are needed to implement the essential-use concept. The results suggest that no fundamental changes are needed and applicants already provide sufficient information. If the risk related to the use is adequately controlled, it is not legally justified for the European Commission to refuse authorisation by arguing non-essential use.

Horizontal and Vertical Distribution of Perfluoroalkyl Acids (PFAAs) in the Water Column of the Atlantic Ocean

Eleni K. Savvidou, Bo Sha, Matthew E. Salter, Ian T. Cousins, Jana H. Johansson

Summary: PFAAs are widespread in the oceans, but there is limited knowledge about their vertical distribution and fate. This study measured the concentrations of PFAAs in surface and deep ocean waters and found that PFAA input comes from the Mediterranean Sea and the English Channel. Higher PFAA levels were observed at the eastern edge of the Northern Atlantic Subtropical Gyre, indicating the accumulation of persistent contaminants in ocean gyres. PFAA concentrations generally decreased with distance from the coast and increasing depth, and longer-chain PFAAs were more prevalent in intermediate depths due to their stronger sorption to organic matter.

Managing PMT/vPvM substances in consumer products through the concepts of essential-use and functional substitution: a case-study for cosmetics

Joanke van Dijk, Romain Figuiere, Stefan C. Dekker, Annemarie P. van Wezel, Ian T. Cousins

Summary: Measures are needed to protect water sources from PMT/vPvM substances. A study found that 6.4% of cosmetic products in the European market contain PMT/vPvM substances, with hair care products having the highest occurrence. Through case-studies, it was determined that all uses of PMT/vPvM substances are non-essential and should be phased out.

Lithium-ion battery recycling: a source of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the environment?

Amanda Rensmo, Eleni K. Savvidou, Ian T. Cousins, Xianfeng Hu, Steffen Schellenberger, Jonathan P. Benskin

Summary: Recycling of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is vital for meeting the increasing demand for metals and achieving a sustainable circular economy. However, there is limited knowledge about the environmental risks associated with LIB recycling, particularly the emission of persistent fluorinated substances. This study provides an overview of the use of fluorinated substances in LIBs and highlights the potential formation and release of persistent fluorinated substances during the recycling process. It calls for further investigation and suggests the substitution of PFAS-based materials or changes in process conditions to prevent the formation and emission of persistent fluorinated substances.

Summary: In this study, the fluorine concentration in different consumer products on the Swedish market, which were suspected to contain fluorinated polymers, was determined. A qualitative pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (pyr-GC/MS) method was validated to identify the structure of organic fluorine. The study revealed that some samples contained high levels of inorganic fluorine.

Summary: Pollution caused by chemicals and waste, along with climate change and biodiversity loss, poses a triple planetary crisis. In response, countries have established an intergovernmental science-policy panel to address chemicals, waste, and pollution prevention. Protecting this panel from conflicts of interest is crucial for its success.
