This paper focuses on the legal adoption and possible implications of the proposed per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) restriction. In the case of PFAS, this restriction puts value on the regulatory efforts to implement far-reaching and ambitious targets amid a high level of scientific uncertainty. The purpose of this paper is to present a report rather than conducting an in-depth analysis of the mentioned field. Overall, the paper argues that such a daring decision might be justified by the precautionary principle. However, the implementation might raise opposition from the stakeholders’ side and might take longer than initially anticipated, most likely with additional derogations concerning essential goods that do not currently have safe alternatives.

本文重点讨论拟议的全氟烷基物质和多氟烷基物质 (PFAS) 限制的法律采用和可能的影响。就 PFAS 而言，这一限制赋予了在科学高度不确定性的情况下实施深远且雄心勃勃的目标的监管努力的价值。本文的目的是提供一份报告，而不是对上述领域进行深入分析。总体而言，该论文认为，出于预防原则，这种大胆的决定可能是合理的。然而，实施可能会引起利益相关者方面的反对，并且可能需要比最初预期更长的时间，很可能会对目前没有安全替代品的必需品造成额外的减损。
