Hvis regeringen får sin vilje, så vil et forbud træde i kraft inden længe.

De kunne nemlig godt tænke sig, at Danmark gik forrest i kampen mod PFAS-forurening, og det vil de sørge for ved at indføre et landsdækkende forbud mod disse miljø- og sundhedsskadelige stoffer i tøj, sko og imprægneringsmidler.

Miljøminister, Magnus Heunicke, fremhæver betydningen af dette initiativ i en pressemeddelelse fra Miljøministeriet som Ekstra Bladet har modtaget.

“Et nationalt forbud mod import og salg af tøj, sko og imprægneringsmidler med PFAS er et vigtigt skridt på vejen mod at begrænse udledningen og vil have en reel miljøeffekt i Danmark”, lyder det fra miljøminister Magnus Heunicke.

PFAS er længe blevet kritiseret for deres langvarige effekter på både menneskers sundhed og miljøet.

Kemikalierne er notorisk resistente over for nedbrydning i naturen og har været forbundet med alvorlige sundhedsmæssige bekymringer såsom nedsat immunforsvar, hormonforstyrrelser og en forøget kræftrisiko.

Tøj, sko og imprægneringsmidler udgør en af de største kilder til PFAS i det danske miljø.

Få får lov

Reglerne, som regeringen vil indføre, kommer dog med visse undtagelser. Professionel beklædning og sikkerhedstøj, hvor der er specielle krav til sikkerhed og funktionalitet, vil ikke være omfattet af det nye forbud.

Tilgangen sikrer, at visse erhvervsgrupper stadig kan opfylde nødvendige sikkerhedsstandarder.

På den internationale scene er Danmark ikke alene om denne bekymring. Landet arbejder sammen med fire andre EU-lande for at implementere et lignende forbud på EU-niveau.

Miljøministeriet har sat en plan for implementering af forbuddet, som forventes at træde i kraft den 1. juli 2026 efter en overgangsperiode på et år.

Bekendtgørelsen forventes at være klar 1. juli 2025.
