Description
The Stockholm Convention Secretariat invited submission of new information and comments on indicative lists of substances covered by existing POP listings for long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (LC‑PFCAs), their salts and related compounds; PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related compounds; and PFHxS, its salts and PFHxS-related compounds. These indicative lists support consistent interpretation of listing scope across Parties and can affect compliance determinations (e.g., whether specific PFAS are considered covered).
