What they argued
The ERM Coalition strongly supports the inclusion of PMT (persistent, mobile, toxic) and vPvM (very persistent, very mobile) substances as new hazard classes in the CLP Regulation to fully address persistency, mobility and toxicity. This is an overdue milestone to also protect human health and drinking water supply. PMT/vPvM substances must not enter drinking water resources.
