Abstract Food packaging is of high societal value because it conserves and protects food, makes food transportable conveys information to consumers. It also relevant for marketing, which economic significance. Other types contact articles, such as storage containers, processing equipment filling lines, are important production supply. articles made up one or multiple different materials consist chemicals. However, chemicals transfer from all into and, consequently, taken by humans. Here we...
PFASs are linked to serious health and environmental concerns. Among their widespread applications, known be used in food packaging directly contribute human exposure. However, information about is scattered. Therefore, we systematically map the evidence on detected migrates extracts of contact materials provide an overview available hazard biomonitoring data. Based FCCmigex database, 68 have been identified various materials, including paper, plastic, coated metal, by targeted untargeted...
Here a new global emission inventory of C4–C10 perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids (PFSAs) from the life cycle perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF)-based products in 1958–2030 is presented. In particular, we substantially improve and expand previous frameworks by incorporating missing pieces (e.g., emissions to soil through land treatment, overlooked precursors) updating parameters factors, degradation half-lives). 1958–2015, total direct indirect perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) are...
Summary: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are man-made chemicals that contain at least one perfluoroalkyl moiety, –CnF2n–. To date, over 4,000 unique PFASs have been used in technical applications consumer products, some of them detected globally human wildlife biomonitoring studies. Because their extraordinary persistence, environmental exposure to will be a long-term source concern. Some such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) perfluorooctanesulfonic (PFOS) investigated...
The EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) aims at removing the most harmful chemicals from consumer products, including food contact materials (FCMs). If implemented as intended, CSS has potential to significantly improve protection of public health by banning use concern that are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic reproduction (CMRs), persistent and bioaccumulative, endocrine-disrupting (EDCs) in FCMs. However, until now an overview such (FCCoCs) not been available, because is...

Food contact materials (FCMs) and food articles are ubiquitous in today's globalized system. Chemicals migrate from FCMs into foodstuffs, so called chemicals (FCCs), but current regulatory requirements do not sufficiently protect public health hazardous FCCs because only individual substances used to make tested mostly for genotoxicity while endocrine disruption other hazard properties disregarded. Indeed, a known source of wide range chemicals, they likely contribute highly prevalent...
A first global emission inventory of C4–C10 perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids (PFSAs) released during the life cycle perfluorohexanesulfonyl fluoride (PHxSF)- and perfluorodecanesulfonyl (PDSF)-based products is presented. This study complements previous research on emissions PFSAs that focused largely perfluorooctanesulfonyl (POSF) its derivatives. It reviews integrates existing information about PHxSF, PDSF, their derivatives; limited data available in public domain point to potentially...
Abstract The ongoing international negotiations on a global plastics treaty will have pivotal implications for future efforts to transform the plastic economy. This is essential since current use of in economy impacts environment beyond planetary carrying capacity. To ensure that forthcoming Treaty can provide foundation this transition, best available science must be made negotiations, but with no formal scientific mechanism inform process, not ensured. Scientists’ Coalition an Effective...
Over the next two decades, global chemical production is set to double, primarily outside of developed countries. Governments and stakeholders from industry, academia civil society are striving address safety concerns manage risks associated with use chemicals wastes. Currently, an intersessional process taking place define international efforts for sound management waste beyond 2020. One key topic whether science-policy interface (SPI) should be strengthened and, if so, how this could best...
Background Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging pollutants of concern with ubiquitous presence in global ecosystems. MNPs pose potential implications for human health; however, the health impacts MNP exposures not yet understood. Recent evidence suggests that can cross placental barrier, underlying urgent need to understand their impact on reproductive development. Objective The Actionable eUropean ROadmap early-life Risk Assessment micro- (AURORA) project will investigate biological...
