Californië voegt PFOA en PFOS toe aan Proposition 65-lijst

24 november 2017

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) announced it had added perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), two suspected reproductive toxicants, to the Proposition 65 list. The additions took effect on 10 November.
Under Proposition 65, businesses must provide warnings to residents about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. The warnings may be placed on product labels, store shelves or through other means. PFOA has been used in some types of food packaging including takeout pizza boxes and microwave popcorn bags (State Recycling Laws Update, 17 november 2017).
