PFAS #pollution is spiralling & the EU's main chemicals law, REACH, is failing to protect us. We need a chemicals law that delivers rapid action to protect #health & the environment so that crises like #PFAS can never happen again.

Our blog sets out how the law can be strengthened 👉 buff.ly/8wg3nV2

PFAS #pollution is everywhere in Europe - in water, soil, food, even our bodies.

But the #PFAS crisis didn’t come out of nowhere. Weak chemical controls under EU REACH allowed this to happen.

A system meant to protect us simply didn’t. Here's how it can be improved: buff.ly/8wg3nV2
