Consultation Document on Phase 1 of the Risk Management of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), Excluding Fluoropolymers: Prohibition of the Use of PFAS, not Currently Regulated, in Firefighting Foams
A joint statement by five Canadian environmental and health organizations—Ecojustice, Breast Cancer Action Quebec, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, the David Suzuki Foundation, and Environmental Defence—providing feedback on the 'Consultation Document on Phase 1 of the Risk Management of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), Excluding Fluoropolymers: Prohibition of the Use of PFAS, not Currently Regulated, in Firefighting Foams'. While the organizations support the proposed risk management measures and their alignment with European Union and Washington State standards, they strongly criticize the proposed implementation timelines, which could allow some facilities to use PFAS-containing foams until 2039.
