International meeting in Geneva to regulate hazardous chemicals

As of Monday, an international meeting was held in Geneva to discuss the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions, which were essential for trade in chemicals and hazardous waste and had become crucial with the increasing contamination of so-called eternal pollutants.

The European Chemicals Agency is preparing radical restrictions on widely used chemicals. They have great properties for which people seek them, but they can also be dangerous because they accumulate in nature and in the human body.
