Greenpeace presents its latest Detox report about presence of PFCs in the air of shops of global outdoor brands, Mammut, The North Face, Norrona and Hagloefs.

Air tests in stores reveal that concentrations of volatile PFCs — hazardous and persistent chemicals that evaporate into the air — are up to 60 times higher in these stores than in an average enclosed room, and up to 1,000 times higher than in outside air. The findings are released by Greenpeace Germany.

The press conference takes place at the opening of the Outdoor Show in Friedrichshafen, Germany, one of the biggest European fair of the outdoor sector.

Greenpeace Detox Campaigner Manfed Santen and Chiara Campione, Detox Outdoor Corporate Lead, talk about the report and about Greenpeace assessment of outdoor brands in their quest for eliminating PFCs.
