欧盟可能因健康风险而将乙醇重新划为危险类别,到2027年影响消毒剂和工业。 The EU may reclassify ethanol as hazardous due to health risks, affecting sanitizers and industries by 2027.

欧洲联盟正在根据欧洲化学品署2025年10月10日的报告,评估是否将乙醇重新定性为一种因潜在的癌症和生殖风险而致的危险物质。 The European Union is assessing whether to reclassify ethanol as a hazardous substance due to potential cancer and reproductive risks, based on a report from the European Chemicals Agency dated October 10, 2025. 这项审查在2025年11月底由生物杀菌产品委员会牵头进行,如果到2027年最终确定乙醇净化剂的警告标签或使用限额,就可能导致使用量限制。 The review, led by the Biocidal Products Committee in late November 2025, could lead to warning labels or usage limits on ethanol-based sanitizers if finalized by 2027. 世卫组织认为,热点乙醇的使用是安全和有效的,但欧盟的目标是在感染控制与长期健康问题之间取得平衡,这可能影响到卫生、化妆品和生物燃料工业。 While the WHO maintains that topical ethanol use is safe and effective, the EU aims to balance infection control with long-term health concerns, potentially affecting hygiene, cosmetics, and biofuel industries.
