PFAS analytical standards: A Barrier to Scientific Research?
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have earned the nickname “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment and potential adverse impacts on human health.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have earned the nickname “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment and potential adverse impacts on human health.
🧪 PFAS, the Eternal Pollutants PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals that persist in the environment and accumulate in living organisms.
Recent findings from a study by the CLCV (Consommation, Logement et Cadre de Vie) raise concerns about the safety and transparency of so-called “eco-friendly” food packaging.
📅 Date: February 4th-5th 2025 📍 Location: Paris, organized by ADEME 🌍 As part of our participation in the IPANEMA project, coordinated by INRAE under the direction of Eric Michel, the CASC4DE team will contribute to the discussions on environmental research and innovation.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have the alarming ability to bypass the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in brain cells. This highlights their neurotoxic potential and raises concerns about their long-term effects.
A recent investigation has uncovered a worrying presence of PFAS — known as “forever chemicals” — in some popular bottled mineral waters in France.
At CASC4DE, we are always on the lookout for groundbreaking scientific advancements that resonate with our commitment to quality and sustainability across industries.
The groundwater of the Upper Rhine region—shared by France, Germany, and Switzerland—faces growing threats from pollution caused by emerging contaminants.
🌍 The European Commission has taken a significant step by proposing a ban on the PFAS pesticide flufenacet. This marks an important milestone in the ongoing efforts to phase out substances with persistent and harmful impacts on the environment and human health.
🌍 PFAS Mixtures: A Hidden Threat Beyond Individual Compounds Emerging research highlights a troubling reality: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as “forever chemicals,” become far more hazardous when combined.
