Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 155, Number 17: PFAS Group Assessment and Stakeholders

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE-ACME) issued a letter on June 22, 2021, expressing its support for the Canadian government's intent to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as a broad chemical class rather than individually.

• The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE-ACME) supports the government's "Notice of intent to address the broad class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances" which was published in the Canada Gazette on April 24, 2021.
• CAPE-ACME asserts that addressing PFAS as a class is a critical component of the Chemicals Management Plan because the presence of thousands of these chemicals in industrial applications and products leads to adverse ecological and human health outcomes.
• PFAS exposure is linked to several specific health issues, including thyroid disease, liver damage, cancers, immune system effects, increased asthma risk, and low infant birthweight.
• CAPE-ACME aligns its position on PFAS health concerns with submissions made by other organizations, specifically Breast Cancer Action Quebec, the Women’s Healthy Environments Network, and Environmental Defence.
