Experts say companies should be forced to give up information about which consumer products contain forever chemicals as an inquiry heard Australia is at risk of becoming the world’s dumping ground as other countries ban all goods containing the cancer-linked materials.
Asked how long it would take to assess the rest of the chemicals, Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme executive director Graeme Barden could not answer. Professor Denis O’Carroll from the University of NSW told the inquiry there was “reasonable concern” that if Europe banned the entire class of chemicals, manufacturers that no longer had a market overseas might use Australia as a “dumping ground”.O’Carroll argued there needed to be more visibility over how forever chemicals were getting into people’s bodies and wastewater.“Everybody in Australia, we flush the toilet and we put PFAS down the drain.
O’Carroll said industry should be compelled to divulge more information about which of their products contained PFAS.
