La industria de utensilios de cocina se enfrenta a una nueva disputa sobre las declaraciones de PFAS

Se ha abierto un nuevo frente en la controversia en curso sobre la seguridad de los productos químicos utilizados en los utensilios de cocina antiadherentes. El conflicto se centra ahora en las declaraciones publicitarias sobre las sustancias PFAS.

La guerra por los químicos eternos en los utensilios de cocina involucra a chefs famosos, grandes fabricantes y legislaturas estatales. Estos grupos ya se han enfrentado en múltiples frentes con respecto a los efectos en la salud de las sustancias comúnmente conocidas como PFAS.

Researchers at Flinders University say they have developed an adsorbent material that removed more than 98% of short- and long-chain PFAS—including hard-to-capture short-chain variants—in laboratory flow-through tests using model tap water. The approach embeds nano-sized molecular cages into mesoporous silica and, in the experiments reported, could be regenerated while remaining effective over at least five reuse cycles.

The South Korean government established a joint task force with local industry officials on Wednesday to respond to the European Union's plan to phase out per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The EU plans to publish a draft opinion on PFAS restrictions later this month, aiming for universal adoption by 2027.

Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have detected medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) in the air over an agricultural region in Oklahoma, marking the first such finding in the Western Hemisphere. The toxic pollutants likely originated from biosolid fertilizers applied to nearby fields. The discovery came unexpectedly during a study on airborne particles.
