The Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds management has been regulated under the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 and the Decree No. 08/2022/ND-CP dated 10th January 2022 of the Government guiding the implementation of the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 that purpose is to protect human health and the environment from POPS' adverse impact.
Besides, Viet Nam has regulated and implemented to control and monitor for the Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds and articles, products, equipment containing Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds under the Circular No. 10/2021/TT-BTNMT dated 30th June 2021 of the Minister of National Resources and Environment on environmental monitoring techniques and management of environmental quality monitoring information and data, including the techniques for monitoring of the POPS (including 12 old POPS and 18 new POPS, covering Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds) in the environment components and in articles, products, commodities and equipment.
