What it is + why it's regulated

Nonadecafluorodecanoic acid, often called PFDA, is a type of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) — a group of man-made chemicals known for their ability to resist grease, water, and heat. You might find it in non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging, or industrial coatings. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) lists PFDA as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) under the EU REACH regulation because it is very persistent in the environment and can build up in living organisms. Studies show it may harm human health, and ECHA classifies it as toxic for reproduction. Because of these properties, regulators aim to phase out its use and require companies to inform consumers if their products contain it. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative. (Source: ECHA Candidate List of SVHC, https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table)
