Work on 5G updated following a public consultation

Today, ANSES is publishing an updated version of its expert appraisal on the potential health effects of 5G, following the public consultation on its first opinion, organised between April and June 2021. The further details provided from the analysis of the contributions and the inclusion of recent exposure measurements confirm the expert appraisal's initial findings.

Encouraging formaldehyde substitution in several occupational sectors

Formaldehyde has been recognised as a carcinogen at European level and must be substituted by other substances or processes to protect the health of exposed workers. ANSES carried out several expert appraisals to identify less hazardous alternatives in five occupational sectors, examining the enabling factors and barriers to substitution in several industries. This work will support the government in enforcing substitution requirements among employers. It should also help those involved in the prevention of occupational health risks to support substitution efforts.
