Doc­tors Against Chem­i­cal Pollutants

Tegengif

PFAS and oth­er tox­ic chem­i­cals are per­sis­tent in the envi­ron­ment and pose seri­ous risks to human health, yet reg­u­la­tion remains lim­it­ed in the Nether­lands and across the EU.

Tegengif, togeth­er with part­ners like the Dutch Green Health Alliance, KWF Dutch Can­cer Soci­ety, and Health Care With­out Harm Europe, will mobilise the med­ical sec­tor to push for stronger action. Through research, advo­ca­cy and media engage­ment, includ­ing PFAS blood test­ing stud­ies, the project will pro­vide sci­en­tif­ic evi­dence and ampli­fy cred­i­ble med­ical voic­es to influ­ence pol­i­cy­mak­ers and pub­lic opin­ion. By bring­ing health­care pro­fes­sion­als, NGOs and researchers togeth­er, Tegengif aims to increase pub­lic aware­ness, strength­en med­ical advo­ca­cy and build polit­i­cal sup­port for ambi­tious mea­sures to phase out PFAS and pro­tect both people’s health and the environment.
