Green Deal Mission “The recovery plan turns the immense challenge we face into an opportunity, not only by supporting the recovery but also by investing in our future: the European Green Deal and digitalization will boost jobs and growth, the resilience of our societies and the health of our environment.” - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen 1 Billion Euro is pledged to ensuring this
Green Deal Goals Make the EU climate neutral by 2050 Restore biodiversity and cut pollution Invest in environmentally-friendly technologies Support the industry in innovating Boost the efficient use of resources Move to a clean, circular economy Roll out cleaner, cheaper and healthier forms of transport Decarbonise the energy sector Ensure buildings are more energy efficient Work with international partners to improve global environmental standards

Area 8: Zero-pollution, toxic free environment To protect Europe’s citizens and ecosystems, the EU needs to better monitor, report, prevent and remedy the pollution of its air, water, and soil. Actions under this area envision measures addressing pollution and support the development of a chemicals strategy for sustainability, with the goal of ensuring a toxic-free environment. The area comprises the following topics: 8.1. Innovative, systemic zero-pollution solutions to protect health, environment and natural resources from persistent and mobile chemicals. 8.2. Fostering regulatory science to address chemical and pharmaceutical mixtures: from science to evidence-based policies.
Area 8: Zero-pollution, toxic free environment Eliminating pollution: protect Europe’s citizens and ecosystems – prevent pollution of air, water and soil. Clean water o Preserve biodiversity in our lakes, rivers and wetlands o Reduce pollution from excess nutrients thanks to the Farm to Fork strategy. o Reduce particularly harmful pollution from micro-plastics and pharmaceuticals. Clean Air o Review air quality standards in line with the World Health Organization guidelines. o Provide support to local authorities to achieve cleaner air for our citizens. Industry o Reduce pollution from large industrial installations. o Improve prevention of industrial accidents.
Area 8: Zero-pollution, toxic free environment Chemicals o Protect citizens against dangerous chemicals with a new chemicals strategy for sustainability for a toxic-free environment. o Develop more sustainable alternatives. o Combine better health protection with increased global competitiveness. o Improve rules on assessment of substances launched on the market.
8.1. Innovative, Systemic Zero-Pollution Solutions to Protect Health, Environment and Natural Resources from Persistent and Mobile Chemicals Specific Challenge – • Pollution from Persistent and Mobile Chemicals is a systemic problem; • Driven by production and consumption; • Missing technical solutions for (bio)remediation and monitoring; • Pose challenges for regulatory authorities to develop or enforce effective policies
8.1. Innovative, Systemic Zero-Pollution Solutions to Protect Health, Environment and Natural Resources from Persistent and Mobile Chemicals An example of Persistent and Mobile Chemicals: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) - manmade chemicals: • o Widely used in water/stain repellent textiles, fire-fighting foams, plastics, food contact materials and cosmetics; o Toxic and can bio-accumulate ; o Found everywhere, concentration increases over time; o Health costs to society, such as high cholesterol, impaired immune system, and cancer are ~ €B 52-84 ; o Reduced response to vaccines (rising concern - COVID-19 pandemic! • ECHA – European Chemicals Agency: podcast about PFAS
8.1. Innovative, Systemic Zero-Pollution Solutions to Protect Health, Environment and Natural Resources from Persistent and Mobile Chemicals Scope: Establish new knowledge, exploring the feasibility of new or improved technologies Demonstrate innovative solutions to protect health, environment and natural resources from PMC; Advance the knowledge on health impacts & environmental effects; Address a specific contamination : soil, air food & drinking water; Lead to cost-effective monitoring and mitigation/elimination in affected geographic areas; Prevent PMC (/precursors) negative impacts on humans & environment ; Include technologies, business, governance & social innovation aspects ; Demonstrate solution in relevant environment (TRL 4-6) ; Consider analytical methods and monitoring to quantify entire groups of PMC in food, soil or drinking water - essential for regulating similar harmful substances; Collaborate with end users - solutions should be cost effective, easily implantable
8.1. Innovative, Systemic Zero-Pollution Solutions to Protect Health, Environment and Natural Resources from Persistent and Mobile Chemicals Scope - target PMCs and include elements (one or several), such as: Insight to the sources and environmental fate of PMC ; Develop new cost-effective high-resolution methods to measure PMC in different media; Environmental and human (bio)monitoring of PMC (Share data on IPCHEM; Use procedures and laboratories established through HBM4EU); Gather toxicity and toxico-kinetic information in-vitro/silico approaches; Detection and identification of specific pollution of soil and water (Copernicus); Develop & improve models to predict & assess long-term risks for PMC and propose preventive solutions; Develop best practices for PMC containing waste management (Circular economy action plan);
