Poland

 

Poland addresses certain PFASs under EU Regulations. All the actions taken by EU are generally taken in consultation with internal stakeholders in Poland (industry, NGOs). Poland has also taken voluntary action under the Control of Hazardous Substances in the Baltic Sea Region (COHIBA) project to raise awareness on PFOS.
