PFAS-Joint-statement_NSC_KIMO

This joint statement from KIMO and the North Sea Commission calls for ambitious and comprehensive European action to address PFAS pollution. It places the issue in the context of the review of EU REACH rules and stresses the importance of ensuring that the experiences of coastal communities inform policy development. PFAS are persistent substances that occur in marine environments and can accumulate through food chains. By combining their networks of coastal municipalities and regions, KIMO and the North Sea Commission seek stronger chemical policy and better protection for marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
