In an Open Letter, Hubert Aiwanger warned of the important next EU words for PFAS substances. The Bavarian Economic Minister has a star of the chemical industry at his disposal.

Munich – The Landesregierungen of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg wehren with a letter from an EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen about a planted PFAS ban of the European Union. The Laut of the Bavarian Economic Ministers Hubert Aiwanger (Freie Wähler) and the Baden-Württembergische Amtskollegin Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut (CDU) has a similar pause EU Chemical Regulation “dramatische Folgen” for the secretive Chemical Industry.

PFAS ban: Chemicals are not exposed

In describing the “eternal chemical”, PFAS can reduce production in the foreign country, where the minister is brief in his work, about death Economic week last message. If you are a PFAS owner, your properties as wasser-, fett- and schmutzabweisend in the industry income will no longer be used over time.

The PFAS elimination refers to per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, which after assessments have been released into the atmosphere for a group of around 10,000 industrially recovered substances. PFAS were processed in the production of cosmetics, cosmetic and textile products. In fast-food packaging, children’s products, surface protection, various wax products, colors or electronic devices, one of the industrial products is an upward movement in the form of an unmonitored inhalation substance.

EU ban on PFAS could hit the chemical industry’s heart

In Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, the PFAS ban is influenced by the chemical industry, one of the industrial companies – and large companies for a large tax. In Bavaria, you benefit from the production of the chemical industry in the year 2023 quickly 23.5 billion euros and provided 65,121 people with work. In Baden-Württemberg, the branch is responsible for an amount of 26.2 billion euros at 64,150 amounts. In Germany, the industry will generate 225.5 billion euros in 2023 and employ around 480,000 people.

The effectiveness of substances is being challenged in scientific discourse. If the substances are used by industry in 1940, the substances of the PFAS are still not at an end. Aiwanger and Hoffmeister-Kraut are focused on a study by the OECD, the largest part of the industrial development of fluoropolymers as one of the best management strategies in the world. However, his around 96 percent of the substances, the PLC label (“polymers of low concern”) lag, in the currently restricted use of industrial products unthinkable.

Verbraucherzentrale befürwortet Beschränkung aller Ewigkeitschemikalien

If there is a negative effect on the environment due to several studies being conducted, we should warn the Minister for a general verb: “These unconsidered fluoropolymers will cause a pause in their work and will be dealt with by some individual objects that are subject to change, but it is also possible to see the consequences of this.” Ansatz und fuhrt zahlreichen Problemen in der Praxis.”

This argument is presented by experts and critical experts: the report is a description of a group of substances. The verbs of presumably harmful PFAS have in the past been caused by the fact that these still unexplored, non-regular and possibly even more harmful substances were introduced. For the management, the soil of the breeders is a harmless light path, all substances on the market are on the market.

Unquestionable? PFAS-Stoffe in Trinkwasser, Lebensmittel und sogar Muttermilch nachgewiesen

According to the Federal Ministry of the Environment, many PFAS pose a concrete threat to the environment and health, which is not naturally obsolete. It is possible that polymers such as fluorescent plastics are used – otherwise than as the letter from the Minister is drawn up – in the recovery and in the organization thereof that provides universal protection.

Fundamentally, PFAS can be used in drinking water, animal and vegetable food. The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment warned that this would happen if it were outdoor and indoor space, Hausstaub would burden the mother milk with PFAS. When people are aware of PFAS, the studies with the hormone and immune system, metabolism and fertility studies on the hormone balance change. The best of the substance can be used in the environment of areas such as in Siberia. A study by NDR, WDR and South German newspaper Time in the past years, that in Germany more Orte durch PFAS cleans seien, as bisher angenommen.

Aiwanger and Hoffmeister-Kraut see van der Leyen in the spotlight: Wettbewerbsfähigkeit bedroht

The German criticism of the European economy and the European Union, which will begin with the regulatory proposals in 2026, reads: “The long phase of uncertainty in the world of unity in Europe in the provision with strategic meaning together and the legal capacity.” The EU’s de facto plan does not need a single word, but can be given another description. The current legislative proposal sees its long lifespan of 13.5 years and lasts for adoption in the industry without supervision Applications.

Dennoch sees the minister taking a big step with the big words, it is a unit that has adopted the innovations of the chemical sector in Germany. Vielmehr plädieren de Minister dafür, dass ich de EU und PFAS-Regelungen der USA und Great-Britain oriented sollten. Now where are the Wettbewerbsfähigkeit and “technological Souveränität” Europas gewährleistet. Chemicals and chemicals can offer an attractive position in Germany and Europe. Deshalb erwarte man sich “schnellstmögliche Signale, dasser Vorschlag zumindest in Erwägung zuerd”, the Minister explains in abschließend.
