PA Hazards

Policy Area Hazards #pahazards in the #EUSBSR. Working to reduce the input and effects of #hazardoussubstances in the #BalticSea through regional cooperation.

[BalticSea_SI @BalticSea_SI]

Handling hazardous substances such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances #PFAS require the Baltic Sea region to cooperate. Our Baltic Leadership Programme on PFAS started a transnational expert network connected to #EUSBSR. Join the #PFAS network! https://t.co/XabcroivOI

@CBSSsecretariat @BalticSeaYouth @EUSBSR Thank you for your input to @BSRHazards & revised #EUSBSR AP. #Waste, #landfill & #plastics were discussed but MS were not ready to take those issues into this PA- or anywhere else in the revised strategy

[Peter Wallenberg @PWallenberg]

Kan slamspridning vara en källa till PFAS i våra vatten? @mazeson @miljotweets @PLarshans @EU_ECHA @chemsec

[IWAMA @iwama_project]

It's important to perform and promote #nutrientrecycling from wastewater for #circulareconomy but it requires developing quality standards for recovered materials to ensure their market value - DG GROW prepared regulation based on the identified risks

Marek Swinarski from Gdańsk Water Utlity: 60 000 + chemical compounds are found in sewage sludge, so we must be careful with products derived from sewage sludge. BUT waste water treatment plants must be seen as sights of resource recovery - not producers of waste. #EUSBSR

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

Manure nutrient management _can_ be more sustainable, demonstrates the @LukeFinlandInt -hosted SuMaNu platform. #eusbsrforum2019 #PANutri @baltic_sea_prog

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

An excellent example of low emission s expert contribution as the Swedish EPA’s (@naturvardsverk) Uwe Fortkamp addresses the #eusbsrforum2019 ! The Swedish Inquiry has a mandate to explore banning sewage sludge to agriculture while instilling a requirement to recover phosphorous.

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

”Should sewage sludge be reused?” Asks @BSRWater ’s Taavo Tenno while exploring solutions for enhancing the nutrient recycling from waste water. The question has different answers around the Baltic Sea. #PANutri #eusbsrforum2019 #ReduceReuseRethink

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

Exploring joint Cross-sectorial cooperation in practice: #PANutri, @BSRHazards, @HELCOMInfo seminar: sustainable, safe nutrient recycling @EUSBSR #eusbsrforum2019 #circulareconomy

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

Our own @MaxiNachtigall on sustainable and safe nutrient recycling: In the Baltic Sea region, we have excellent waste water treatment - we’re good at cleaning water. But we’re less good at safe sludge handling; its disposal has broad human health implications.

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

@NDPHS2 ‘s Ülla-Karin Nurm kicks off the seminar “Circular Economy: It’s Mainly Good News”, noting that human health is relatively absent from the @EUSBSR Action Plan - despite people being drivers and beneficiaries of Baltic cooperation. #ReduceReuseRethink

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

Now, an all-women panel at #eusbsrforum2019 on circular economy and health — going beyond environmental and economic implications of circular economy, to look at human health implications. @MaxiNachtigall @NDPHS2

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

Men going circular! First Plenary at #eusbsrforum2019 discusses circular economy, environmental implications, while demonstrating the Baltic Sea region’s diversity. #EUSBSR

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

Posters for #EusbsrForum2019 #ReduceReuseRethink remind us of the role for art, culture, and communication in ecology. Congratulations to all the winners!

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

Join PA Nutri, @HELCOMInfo and us @BSRHazards Thurs. @ 10:45 (Royal Hall II) to talk nutrient recycling and closing loops, policy development, and don’t forget social and economic viability. “Nutrient recycling for a cleaner Baltic Sea" —https://t.co/BjBrh0ao1S #eusbsrforum2019

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

We (@BSRHazards ) are live in Gdańsk at #EusbsrForum2019 ! Ready to #ReduceReuseRethink and talk about revising the @EUSBSR Action Plan. Let’s talk.

[PA Hazards @BSRHazards]

“Innovation is to a large extent a derivative of the willingness to take risks,” provokes Tomasz Szymczak from Starter Incubator at the start of Participation Day in Gdańsk.

[HELCOM - the Helsinki Commission @HELCOMInfo]

HELCOM is joining forces with PA Nutri and PA Hazards at the @EUSBSR 10th Annual Forum in Gdansk, organising a joint seminar on "Safe nutrient recycling for cleaner Baltic Sea", Thu 13 June 2019, 10:45
