The Chemical Watch Podcast Short: A TSCA surge, and a PFAS phase-out for Hyundai?

This week’s podcast short looks at a trio of stories covering the US government’s latest unified agenda, with the EPA hinting at a surge of upcoming TSCA rules, the FDA pushing back the release date for its GRAS proposal, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission signalling that its regulatory review of organohalogen flame retardants is continuing.  

In Europe, we discuss a story covering the UK government’s plan to hold off on immediate restrictions on non-essential PFAS uses while it monitors developments in the EU. 

And a business desk article looks at Hyundai Motor Company’s goal to phase out PFAS by 2029 and the challenges ahead for a future of expanding PFAS restrictions. 

Other highlighted stories include: 

• a guest article on TSCA enforcement for chemical imports; 

• chemical management initiatives in Malaysia and Colombia; 

• a new challenge to New Mexico’s PFAS labelling law; and  

• emerging research on chemical exposures from yoga mats.
