This episode of the Safer Chemicals podcast, hosted by Adam Elwan from ECHA, dives into the work of the committees' work on the proposal to restrict per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Europe. Adam is joined by Roberto Scazzola and Maria Ottati, chairs of ECHA's Risk Assessment and Socio-Economic Analysis committees as they discuss the first steps of forming scientific opinions on the restriction proposal.The episode also touches on the committees' work on other areas, such as the harmonised classification of lithium salts and the use of chromium VI compounds in key industries.Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of the importance of scientific and technical robustness in the committee's work, and the Agency's commitment to ensuring chemical safety in the EU.Useful linksEpisode transcript (https://echa.europa.eu/documents/10162/47572414/20240320_safer_chemicals_podcast_transcript_rac_seac_march_2024_en.docx/27a39600-37ff-5e40-387d-cb0216b4149c?t=1710925289706) More episodes on the committees for risk assessment and socio-economic analysis (https://podcast.ausha.co/scpodcast/playlist/risk-assessment-and-socio-economic-analysis-committees) Give us feedback (https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/podcast_feedback) MoreMarch RAC and SEAC meeting highlights (https://echa.europa.eu/-/highlights-from-march-2024-rac-and-seac-meeting) - ECHA news, 20 March 2024Agenda of RAC’s meeting (https://echa.europa.eu/documents/10162/2166371/rac68_finalAgenda_en.pdf/bc19d8e0-7b8d-abc6-6ac9-a8c39a461af8?t=1710170146106) [PDF] [EN] Agenda of SEAC’s meeting (https://echa.europa.eu/documents/10162/62304035/agenda_seac-62_en.pdf/cb3cd84b-3e58-19fd-792d-8f52995b5fc9?t=1709296577613) [PDF] [EN] REACH restriction process (https://echa.europa.eu/regulations/reach/restrictions/restriction-procedure) Harmonised classification and labelling (https://echa.europa.eu/regulations/clp/harmonised-classification-and-labelling) Risk Assessment Committee (https://echa.europa.eu/about-us/who-we-are/committee-for-risk-assessment) Socio-Economic Analysis Committee (https://echa.europa.eu/about-us/who-we-are/committee-for-socio-economic-analysis)**************Subscribe to our YouTube channel (https://bit.ly/321VQgE)Subscribe to our Safer Chemicals Podcast (https://echa.europa.eu/podcasts)Subscribe to our news (https://echa.europa.eu/subscribe)Follow us on:Twitter (https://twitter.com/EU_ECHA)Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/EUECHA/)LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/european-chemicals-agency)Visit our website (https://echa.europa.eu/) Disclaimer: Views expressed by interviewees do not necessarily represent the official position of the European Chemicals Agency.

#SaferChemicals #PFASaction_EU - Our scientific committees support a gradual ban of #PFAS in firefighting foams. If adopted into law, the restriction could reduce emissions by more than 13 000 tonnes over 30 years.
