A potentially big EU listing for an ultra-short-chain PFAS?

This week’s Chemical Watch News & Insight podcast from Enhesa looks at two recent recommendations from ECHA’s Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC): one saying the ultra-short-chain PFAS TFA warrants classification as a reprotoxicant, and another agreeing with a French proposal to classify the acne treatment ingredient resorcinol as a category 1 endocrine disruptor. 

Science editor Andrew Turley joins the podcast to talk about the RAC’s recommendation for trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and the implications if the PFAS is ultimately classified as a reprotoxicant and potentially more under the EU CLP Regulation. 

In addition, science reporter Dr Emma Davies discusses resorcinol and what it means if the industrial ingredient becomes the first substance to be classified as an endocrine disruptor for human health under the CLP Regulation. 

Tune in to catch the full episode! And then come back to read all the latest developments in chemicals policy from Enhesa’s Chemical Watch News & Insight.
