法国绿党议员Nicolas Thierry 提出的有关禁止生产与进口永久污染物,也就是PFAS的法案去年四月一审通过之后,今天终于将被正式表决通过,其中,法案通过了参议院的修改,在污染者赔偿以及必须检测的污染物的数量上被消减,法国总统马克龙去年解散国民议会的决定延缓该法案通过的日期,不过,尽管如此,今天的通过依然是具有象征性的一步,将会推动PFAS在欧盟范围内受到禁止的决策。
PFAS是一类人工合成的有机化合物,因其稳定的化学性质而被广泛应用于工业、消费品和农业等多个领域。然而,随着对PFAS环境影响的深入研究,其潜在的生态风险和对人体健康的影响逐渐受到关注。多项研究表明,PFAS可通过饮用水、空气、母乳和食品包装等接触到 ...

伊利诺伊大学香槟分校的化学工程教授Xiao Su告诉笔者,他领导的团队已经开发出一种从芯片制造过程中去除PFAS化学物质的工艺。然而,能够受益于他的研究的芯片制造商却没有与他分享相关信息。 PFAS物质是一种有毒化学物质,会在人体组织中积累,这种物质被广泛应用于半导体行业。这种在环境中广泛存在的“永久性化学物质”很难被分离和销毁。芯片制造商将其PFAS排放信息视为专有信息。
