Consultation open on PFAS and PeCB management standards

Dept of Climate Change, Energy, Environment & Water

We are inviting feedback on proposed scheduling decisions for managing chemicals that pose a high risk to the environment, including chemicals that have been widely used in firefighting foams.

Consultation on proposed standards to manage three groups of per and poly fluoroalkyl (PFAS) chemicals - PFOA, PFOS and PFHxS - and pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) is open from 21 July 2023.

Feedback will help Australian governments and businesses to better manage the environmental risks of these chemicals.
