Ziel des Vorhabens war es, Erkenntnisse für neue Schadstoffe im Wirkungspfad Boden-Pflanze näher zu untersuchen. In der Studie wurde der wissenschaftliche Kenntnisstand zu polybromierten Diphenylethern (PBDE) anhand einer Literaturrecherche zusammengestellt. Für die systematische Untersuchung des Transfers von per- und polyfluorierten Chemikalien (PFAS) aus Böden in Nutzpflanzen wurden bereits... read more

SumPFAS – besorgniserregenden Per- und Polyfluorierten Stoffen auf der Spur
Schwebstoff- und Sedimentproben deutscher Binnengewässer wurden zusammen mit Trendproben der Umweltprobenbank auf ihre Belastung mit Per- und polyfluorierten Alkylsubstanzen (PFAS) untersucht. Die Ergebnisse sind in einem öffentlich zugänglichen Online-tool verfügbar. Alle Proben wurden mit Einzelstoffanalytik (Targetanalytik) auf 41 verschiedene PFAS untersucht. Zusätzlich kam eine summarisch... read more
Working towards a restriction of PFAS under REACH- Frauke Averbeck
Potential SVHCs in environment and products: Measurements of the presence of potential sub-stances of very high concern in the environment and in products
The report provides information on the occurrence of per- and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFASs) and alkylphenols (APs) in various product groups. For PFASs, the report analyses construction materials and industrial textiles as well as the content of short-chain APs (4tPP, 4tBP) in paints, coatings and adhesives. At the same time, the occurrence of APs in surface waters was investigated in a sc... read more
PFAS excessively high in blood of children and adolescents in Germany
Children and adolescents between the ages of 3 and 17 in Germany have too many persistent chemicals from the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance group, or PFAS, in their blood. These are the findings of an evaluation of the representative German Environmental Survey for Children and Adolescents, GerES V. read more
Possible ban on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the EU
European agencies including the German Environment Agency (UBA) have submitted a joint proposal for the restriction of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). This proposal is one of the most comprehensive to have been formulated since the REACH regulation first came into force in 2007. read more
Literature review and assessment of available toxicological data for PFAS
In the present study, a search was carried out on the current toxicological and epidemiological data on 20 perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS, C4-C13 carboxylic and sulfonic acids) regulated in the Drinking Water Ordinance as well as 4 substitutes (GenX, ADONA, 6:2 FTSA, C604). The aim was to prepare this data as a basis for the toxicological assessment of the substances with regard to thei... read more
