September 26, 2025 – Environment and Climate Change Canada has proposed new actions to regulate the use of forever chemicals (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – PFAS) in firefighting foams. These chemicals, known for their persistence in the environment and the human body, pose serious risks to human health and the environment. Canada’s proposed actions will focus on reducing PFAS use in firefighting products and accelerating environmental cleanup.

Why Environment and Climate Change Canada Update Matters
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), or “forever chemicals,” are environmentally persistent and can have detrimental effects on public health and ecosystems. The proposed regulations are a critical step in environmental protection and safeguarding human health. As regulations evolve around these chemicals, businesses, particularly those in manufacturing and environmental services, need to stay informed on regulatory changes to ensure compliance.
