PFAS and Waste: a webinar about Current Challenges and Future European Initiatives

The presence of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in waste streams poses significant environmental and regulatory challenges, as these persistent chemicals continue to raise concerns worldwide.

The webinar will delve into the complexities of PFAS detection and management, featuring a critical review of the current and proposed European regulatory framework. Experts will frame the issue, including the approach to the analysis of PFAS in waste, and explore upcoming policy initiatives by the European Commission.
