Inside EPA Cites Arnold & Porter Advisory on European Union PFAS Restrictions
A recent Inside EPA article, “Lawyers Urge U.S. Industry Comments On Broad EU PFAS Restriction,” cited the Arnold & Porter advisory, “ECHA Committees Advance Broad PFAS Restriction Under REACH,” which was authored by senior counsel Lawrence Culleen; counsels Tom Fox and Judah Prero; and senior attorney Camille Heyboer.
The article discusses a broad proposed restriction on PFAS under consideration in the European Union and the ongoing public consultation process, and highlights the role of industry engagement as EU regulators advance toward the potential adoption of sweeping limits on PFAS use.
As quoted in the article, the Arnold & Porter authors emphasized that “companies that produce PFAS, and those that rely on PFAS, can no longer afford to merely monitor regulatory developments; they must be driven to critically evaluate their PFAS use across their products and operations, and consider participating in the ongoing consultation process.”
