Impact of a PFAS ban on the industrial gases industry
In the ever-evolving world, one issue that has become a source of concern for the industrial gas and equipment industry is the persistent presence of Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often known as 'forever chemicals'. The uncertainty surrounding the effects of PFAS on products, processes, and balance sheets has left many companies in this industry on edge.
One of the primary concerns is the potential impact of PFAS restrictions. These restrictions pose a threat to the industry, particularly for manufacturers and users of fluorinated refrigerants (F-gases) in cooling, climate, and heat pump systems. This is because these substances are widely used in such applications, and restrictions could affect firms involved in producing and servicing refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. For instance, companies like Eberspächer, which make bus climate systems, and broader European HVAC manufacturers adapting to EU F-gas and REACH regulations limiting PFAS use, may be significantly impacted.
Amidst this uncertainty, staying informed is crucial. That's where world news comes in. This online source offers in-depth content monthly to its subscribers, providing access to hundreds of features. Subscribing grants access to content not available elsewhere, making it a valuable resource for industry professionals.
However, the text does not specify the types of content available exclusively to world news subscribers, nor does it provide information on the frequency of new content updates. Additionally, the cost of subscribing to world news and any potential promotions or discounts are not mentioned.
As the world is currently forced to go digital more than ever before to stay connected, subscribing to world news can be a step towards staying informed about the latest developments in the industrial gas and equipment industry. With PFAS continuing to be a source of contention across industries, staying updated has never been more important.
