DAVAO CITY – Environmental groups here lauded the decision to ban certain highly toxic chemicals found in plastics and pesticides during the recent gathering of world leaders in Geneva, Switzerland for the 11th meeting of the Conference of Parties to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.
Aileen Lucero, national coordinator of EcoWaste Coalition, said on Monday that there is a need to do a national inventory on DP and UV-328 to inform and guide the country’s efforts towards elimination of these pollutants. The environment groups added that a related study found UV-328 in “children’s toys and hair accessories, which is particularly alarming due to its toxicity and endocrine disrupting effects.”
