This guidance document has been developed to assist Parties in preventing or reducing the release of pentachlorophenol (PCP) under specific exemptions in the Stockholm Convention by emphasizing best available techniques (BAT) and best environmental practices (BEP) to minimize exposure and environmental impact.
This guidance provides Parties with best available techniques (BAT) and best environmental practices (BEP) to manage and reduce releases of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) under the Stockholm Convention, focusing on waste management, recycling and responsible disposal of PBDE-containing articles.
This guide helps Parties prevent or reduce releases of PFOS, PFOA and related compounds under specific exemptions in the Stockholm Convention in an effort to minimize environmental and health risks.
This document provides guidance for identifying and evaluating alternatives to chemicals listed or proposed for listing under the Stockholm Convention, focusing on persistence, bioaccumulation and environmental impact.
This document provides guidance on chemical and non-chemical alternatives to SCCPs, offering Parties critical information to facilitate the phase-out of these substances in accordance with the Stockholm Convention.
This document provides an analysis of chemical and non-chemical alternatives to pentachlorophenol (PCP) for wood treatment, evaluating chemical alternatives like Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) and non-chemical options such as concrete and steel.
This document provides updated guidance on chemical and non-chemical alternatives to hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), with a focus on its use in polystyrene foam applications. It includes evaluations of the availability, cost, efficacy and environmental impacts of these alternatives.
This document provides details on the specific exemptions granted, including its use in vehicles, aircraft and textiles, as well as information on chemical alternatives to phase out decaBDE in line with the Convention's objectives.
This document outlines a practical approach for the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee to consider these toxicological interactions, using state-of-the-art knowledge on mixture toxicity to improve risk assessments.
The guidelines provide a comprehensive list of environmental indicators designed to inform global policies, enhance their connection to statistical frameworks and improve the usability of metadata.
