Summary
"The European Union proposed restrictions on over 10,000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to reduce their release into the environment and make consumer products safer. This regulatory push matters for microplastic research because PFAS chemicals frequently coat and accumulate on microplastic particles, compounding their toxicity to humans and wildlife through combined chemical exposure."
