PFAS Points Part 3: The PROMISCES Layman's Report
25 June, 2025
The PROMISCES Layman’s Report summarizes the key results of the PROMISCES project for the general public. It highlights innovative detection methods, risk assessment tools, and sustainable remediation technologies developed to manage PFAS and to protect human health and the environment. It is based on the 5 PROMISCES objectives:
Objective 1: Enhance the ability to detect and monitor PFAS
PROMISCES developed new tools and guidelines to identify, quantify and assess PFAS in the environment. The results provide best practices for tracking PFAS, supporting regulatory frameworks and guiding future environmental protection efforts.
Objective 2: Improve the predictability of persistency and mobility of PFAS
PROMISCES developed new methods for the detection of these harmful substances in water, soil, and other materials, making monitoring more effective. The results provide valuable insights on how to predict toxicity and exposure, supporting future environmental protection efforts.
Objective 3: Improve assessment and management of human health risks associated with the exposure to PFAS and iPM(T)s
PROMISCES updated the derivation of health-related indicator values and developed new approaches for environmental exposure and risk assessment for several circular economy routes. The results provide best practices for using products from formerly polluted recovered resources, focusing on the safety of the products for humans.
Objective 4: Provide remediation technologies to protect the water cycle
PROMISCES developed and tested cost-effective and sustainable remediation technologies laboratory and pilot scales, demonstrating strong potential for future large-scale applications. The results provide methods for and technologies to remove chemical pollutans from matrices. This information is particularly important for companies specialized in remediation techniques.
Objective 5: Provide innovative approaches to prevent and manage PFAS in circular economy routes
PROMISCES created a Decision Support Framework to assist risk managers in understanding, assessing and managing PM(T)s. The results support regulatory frameworks and contribute to
support the pathway to circular economy.
