Seven PFAS were automatically added to the Toxics Release Inventory by the EPA

On January 9, 2024, the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has automatically added following seven per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the list of chemicals covered by the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI): 
1) Ammonium perfluorohexanoate
2) Lithium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl] azanide
3) Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA)
4) Perfluoropropanoic acid (PFPrA); CASRN 422-64-0
5) Sodium perfluorohexanoate
6) 1,1,1-Trifluoro-N-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl] methanesulfonamide; CASRN 82113-65-3
7) Betaines, dimethyl(.gamma.-.omega.-perfluoro-.gamma.-hydro-C8-18-alkyl)

The addition is part of the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which requires the automatic addition of PFAS to TRI each year in response to specified EPA activities involving such PFAS. The data collected through TRI helps support informed decision-making by companies, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the public, and advances the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to addressing the impacts of PFAS and advancing EPA's PFAS Strategic Roadmap to confront human health and environmental risks.
