Fluorocarbon based water and oil repellent does not intentionally use PFOA. However, the fluoro-resin derived from an alkyl fluorine monomer which contains minimal amount of PFOA, PFOA has been found harmful to living organisms. The EPA (US Environment Protection Agency) proposed “2010/2015 Stewardship Program” on January 15, 2006. By this proposal, fluorine material manufacturers has set a goal of 95% reduction of PFOA, precursor generating PFOA after decomposition, PFOA related substances from waste water discharge and PFOA in products and to be eliminated by year of 2015. |
