This is because these so-called \u201cforever chemicals\u201d are not only a threat to our health and the environment but above all: a big source of revenue.<\/p>\n<p><b>PFAS, these \u201cforever chemicals\u201d, are everywhere:<\/b> in non-stick pans, raincoats, food packaging and even in our drinking water. They not only endanger our nature but also put our health at risk.<\/p>\n<p><b>The consequences?<\/b> Liver damage, fertility problems, cardiovascular diseases and even cancer. But the chemical industry is sticking firmly to production.<\/p>\n<p><b>The science is clear, the damage is immense: <\/b>more than 23,000 sites are already contaminated by PFAS. The clean-up of PFAS-contaminated sites will cost 2 trillion euros over the next few years. But that&#8217;s not all: up to 84 billion euros will be spent annually on the health consequences of PFAS.<\/p>\n<p>In our webinar, organised together with MEP Jutta Paulus, we want to talk about how we can finally enforce a far-reaching EU-wide ban, stricter limits and the liability of the polluters.<\/p>\n<p><b>Join<\/b> <b>us on 22 January 2025 at 6:00 p.m. CET and discuss with top-class experts and<\/b> <b>decision-makers:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vicky Cann<\/b>, who was involved in the research project \u2018Forever Lobbying Project\u2019 for the lobby transparency NGO \u2018Corporate Europe Observatory\u2019<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Stefan Scheuer<\/b>, EU policy expert at ChemTrust, a German-British association working to protect against harmful chemicals<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Theresa Kjell<\/b>, Head of Policy at ChemSec &#8211; the International Chemical Secretariat, which works with large corporations and investors to end the use of toxic chemicals<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Jutta Paulus<\/b>, Member of the European Parliament for B\u00fcndnis90\/Die Gr\u00fcnen, scientist and former owner of a testing laboratory for chemicals, biocides, pesticides, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, nanomaterials<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Moderation:<\/b> Maximilian Fries, Executive Director of Europe Calling e.V.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The webinar will be simultaneously translated into German and English.<\/p>\n<p><b>Why is your participation so important?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The chemical industry is one of the most powerful lobbyists in Europe.
