How can we best prevent chemical pollution due to persistent and mobile substances?

"We are different but in the same boat! Together, we must work to reduce risks and find solutions to prevent chemical pollution caused by persistent and mobile substances". That was one of the take-home messages from the ZeroPM’sworkshop in Gothenburg held on the 7th and 8th of February 2023.

Great final Discussion Café on the last day of our #ZeroPMworkshop bringing together researchers, regulators, industry and more!

There is urgency to protect natural environments and human health from #PFAS, #PMT etc. Possible ways forward include regulation, applying the #EssentialUse concept, harmonisation, awareness raising and training in the industry

Welcome to ZeroPM - ZeroPM

ZeroPM is a research project funded by H2020. ZeroPM will enable the EU Green Deal‘s ambition towards Zero Pollution of Persistent, Mobile Substances. ZeroPM will target groups of PFAS, and PMT/vPvM substances. ZeroPM will do so by interlinking three key strategies: Prevent, Prioritize and Remove

Joel Tickner kicks off day 2 of the #ZeroPMworkshop to a strong start💪 on when and how to substitute hazardous substances with safer alternatives. The barriers are real, but there are ways to approach them.

“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the better”

Viktoria Lidén from Storebrand Asset Management shows that they consider a companies approach to persistent substances like #PFAS and #PMT substances when they invest in them, use of persistent substances increases #litigation, #regulation and #reputation risk!
