Even if all releases of #PFAS would cease tomorrow, they would still stay in the environment and humans for a long time. Thank you for inviting me to discuss #SaferChemicals and how European Chemicals Agency - ECHA 🇪🇺 supports science based EU action to regulate #ForeverChemicals bit.ly/2ZxSvcn

We have received many comments to the #glyphosate consultation, thank you for the active participation. Take a look at the comments received and the next steps of the assessments. 👉🏻More info: fcld.ly/glyphonews 👉🏻Comments: fcld.ly/glyphocommentst

#PFAS 👉🏻Our scientific committees support Germany's proposal to restrict #PFHxA, mostly used in food contact materials, textiles and fire-fighting foams. The potential restriction would protect people and the environment from these #ForeverChemicals. 🔗fcld.ly/pfhaxagermanyt

👉🏻A #PFAS-free environment is important to ensure safe food and #DrinkingWaterEU. 🛑We are proposing a ban of PFAS-based firefighting foams to stop these #ForeverChemicals from further contaminating the environment and risking our health. #SaferChemicals #ZeroPollution

Thank you Bob Diderich and Patience Browne from OECD Environment for our cooperation with chemicals management. Today, we signed a memorandum of understanding to continue promoting the QSAR toolbox for chemical hazard assessment.

Working for #SaferChemicals requires strong cooperation. Today, we welcomed Patrick Child ( and Hubert Gambs from the EU Environment and Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship & SMEs to ECHA. They met our new management team and discussed with our staff ECHA’s role in making the #ChemicalsStrategy a success.

After 30 years dedicated to a safer Europe, it is time to say goodbye. I will be retiring from ECHA on 31 March. It has been an honour to work with so many great professionals on an exciting journey towards #SaferChemicals.

Thank you to Martin Hojsik, our contact MEP,for bringing us closer to the Parliament. He spoke about the massive task we have ahead to reduce toxic pollution and preserve life on this planet for future generations.ECHA’s work will be crucial for better health and the environment.

Lot of super important tasks ahead for European Chemicals Agency - ECHA 🇪🇺 and EU Chemicals Agency ED. And also legislative changes #REACH and #CLP are just some of them. To make the upcoming legislation work we need to listen to the agency in charge, their inputs and experiences. And what a lesson it was. Thank you.

Bjorn, we thank you for your great job. Your energy and dedication to the role will be difficult to match, but you leave ECHA a better organisation and on a strong footing for those who follow you. Paul Krajnik, on behalf of ECHA's Management Board ✉️🔗fcld.ly/mbletter
