HomeStudy to support the assessment of impacts associated with the review of limit values in waste for POPs listed in Annexes IV and V of Regulation (EU) 2019/1021
Final report for DG Environment
Publication metadata
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are chemicals that are persistent, bio-accumulative, and toxic to humans and/or the environment. Consequently, their releases to the environment must be minimised and, where feasible eliminated as soon as possible. The main goal of this study is to support DG Environment in preparing an impact assessment accompanying a legislative proposal to amend Annexes IV and V of the POPs Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 2019/1021) which set concentration limits for POP substances in waste. The study provides an impact assessment of Annex IV Low POP Content Limit (LPCL) options for the following substances: polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs); short-chain chlorinated paraffins) (SCCPs); perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds; perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), its salts and PFHxS-related compounds; polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs); polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (differentiating between dioxin-like (dl) PCBs and non-dioxin like (ndl) PCBs); pentachlorophenol (PCP), its salts and esters; and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD).
