Join us for our first Chemical Watch Podcast Short, where we highlight our latest top stories.  

This week, we look at the options the European Commission is exploring as it considers updating REACH without reopening the law, as well as the Commission’s latest draft of its Restrictions Roadmap

In the US, our coverage dives into the big $450m settlement with Chemours over PFAS discharges, as well as the implications of California’s attorney general conceding a lawsuit over Proposition 65 warnings for DEA in cosmetics, the latest case over the First Amendment’s limits on government-compelled warnings where there is not a scientific consensus on a substance’s toxicity.  

Elsewhere in the world, we cover:  

  • the latest in the legal challenge to New Mexico’s PFAS labelling and fee requirements;  
  • debate in New Zealand over a bill that would require regulators to rely more on chemical assessments from other jurisdictions; and  
  • the United Kingdoms’ recent push for more alignment with the EU on chemicals regulation. 

Tune in to hear more about our top headlines. And then come back to read all the latest developments in chemicals policy from Enhesa’s Chemical Watch News & Insight
