Balanced Approach Needed to Regulate PFAS in Electronics
03/25/2026 | Diana Radovan, Global Electronics AssociationThe very broad per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) group has widespread use in both consumer and highly specialized applications, including, perhaps surprisingly, green technologies. Among these, the fluoropolymers subgroup plays a complex and critical role in electronics. To date, there are hardly any technically comparable alternatives.
