L'industrie des ustensiles de cuisine fait face à une nouvelle bataille sur les allégations concernant les PFAS

Un nouveau front s'est ouvert dans le conflit en cours sur l'innocuité des substances chimiques utilisées dans les ustensiles de cuisine antiadhésifs. La controverse porte désormais sur les allégations publicitaires relatives aux substances PFAS.

La guerre contre les polluants éternels dans les ustensiles de cuisine implique des chefs célèbres, de grands fabricants et des législatures d'État. Ces groupes se sont déjà affrontés sur de multiples fronts concernant les effets sur la santé des substances communément appelées 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.
