RIVM has derived temporary background values for two types of PFAS in Dutch soil: PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) and PFOA (perfluoro octanoic acid).

Research by RIVM shows that the participants in the so-called tROM project, their supervisors and other people involved may have been exposed to chromium-6.

RIVM proposes water quality standards for perfluoro octanoic acid (PFOA). PFOA is a man-made chemical that is used to protect surfaces.

How can we strengthen and support health promoting approaches within the broader health and social care system? And how can we best include other sectors in this process?

Last January RIVM published a report with facts and figures about the Dutch dietary pattern and an analysis where sustainable, healthy and safe food can strengthen each other.
