There’s a lot of information out there about PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl substances, and not all of it is reliable. The swiftly changing global regulatory landscape—and the possibility that these “forever chemicals” could be lurking in hidden places—mean that lubricant manufacturers need to be aware of PFAS in their operations and be nimble in their response. Jim Eggenschwiler, a global trade and chemical regulations expert with Trinity Consultants, and John Howell, a health & safety expert and president of GHS Resources, join ILMA Communications Director Caitlin Jacobs to shed some light on this evolving topic.
