Belgian Minister Exceeds Future European Standard for PFAS Levels – Ecolo’s Response

2023-11-15 12:51:57

Yesterday, Céline Tellier announced that she would go beyond the future European standard which must come into force in 2026 and which sets the maximum levels of PFAS at 100 nanograms per liter. The minister proposed new intervention thresholds: from 30 nanograms per liter for the 20 most dangerous PFAS, there will be a reaction and information. The threshold was set at 4 ng/l for the four PFAS of greatest concern. “Political responsibility is exercised like this“, estimates Jean-Marc Nollet.

For the co-president of Ecolo, “you must not make the wrong decision about who is responsible“in this problem.”The responsibility today comes from polluters and conservatives who do not want to change European rules. We will only resolve this problem by working at the source. That is, when these chemicals are introduced into the market. It’s too easy to ask David to ban the use, but allow Goliath to continually dump chemical pollutants into the market.
