Toxic flame retardants could face sweeping EU ban 😔
Cikk tartalma röviden
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has raised concerns about aromatic brominated flame retardants (ABFRs), suggesting they may face blanket restrictions in the EU due to health and environmental risks. ABFRs, similar to 'forever chemicals', are toxic and accumulate in organisms. The agency advocates for a group approach to regulation, rather than case-by-case bans, to prevent harmful substitutions. The chemicals industry is lobbying against tighter regulations, claiming modern ABFRs are safe. The European Commission is expected to propose reforms to chemicals regulation next year.
