The Risk Profile does not provide a detailed assessment of specific alternative chemicals or technologies to replace PFHxS. Instead, it establishes that PFHxS itself has been used as an alternative to other POPs, leading to its global contamination. The document underscores the critical need for information on safer alternatives and highlights that the transition away from PFHxS is part of a broader international effort to manage PFAS. A comprehensive analysis of alternatives would be the subject of a separate Risk Management Evaluation document prepared after a substance is found to be a POP.
