The U.S. EPA may be reaching the end of its four-year PFAS Strategic Roadmap, but there are still a few loose ends to tie up. This summer also brought us plenty of state-level PFAS action as at least five states enacted bans on PFAS in consumer products. In this post, we look at some recent actions and those that might be taken before the end of 2024.

On February 14^th, Nick Nigro, Pace® PFAS Product Manager, along with other leaders of ASTM subcommittee F15.81 on Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, held a webinar discussing the what, why, and how of quantifying PFAS in Consumer and Related Products. Among many topics, the team addressed the challenge created by the varying definitions of PFAS used by the states when crafting legislation. This comes up frequently in conversations with our manufacturing customers, so I wanted to share some of the highlights from the webinar.
