PFAS Inventories
2022-03-03 [China] Inland Waterway Prohibited Dangerous Chemicals Inventory updated
Data Description
These substances are highly resistant to degradation in the natural environment, earning them the label "forever chemicals." They also have a strong tendency to bioaccumulate through the food chain, posing serious risks such as carcinogenicity and immune system disruption.
In recent years, regulatory scrutiny over PFAS has intensified globally, with a growing number of bans and restrictions. However, definitions and regulatory approaches vary significantly across different regions.
This database comprehensively consolidates substance lists and regulatory inventories from authoritative sources such as the OECD, the EPA, KEMI, Canada, Australia, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It enables smart search by CAS number, EC number, or substance name to quickly retrieve the inclusion status of a chemical across various PFAS lists.
