澳大利亚禁止三种全氟辛烷磺酸化学品;欧盟计划到2030年,由于健康风险,禁止所有14 000种化学品。 Australia bans three PFAS chemicals; EU plans to ban all 14,000 types by 2030 due to health risks.

澳大利亚已禁止三种“永远禁止的化学品”,即PFAS,而欧洲联盟则计划在2030年之前禁止所有14 000种化学品。 Australia has banned three "forever chemicals" known as PFAS, while the European Union plans to ban all 14,000 types by 2030. 由于其抗粘性和防水性质,在工业产品中使用的PFAS,由于其持久性和潜在毒性,引起了健康问题. PFAS, used in industrial products for their nonstick and water-resistant properties, have raised health concerns due to their persistence and potential toxicity. 欧盟的做法旨在防止“可转让替代”,即用类似的、可能有害的化学品取代违禁化学品。 The EU's approach aims to prevent "regrettable substitution," where banned chemicals are replaced by similar, potentially harmful ones.
