Disqualified over a snowboard? That’s what happened to one Olympian after PFASs were found in his equipment.

These chemicals are used in everything from water-resistant gear to non-stick pans.

Under the Stockholm Convention, countries are working to phase out the most harmful PFASs: https://t.co/uAgdwzsozJ

A strong #ICCM5 outcome will have a positive effect on Multilateral Environmental Agreements.

@RolphPayet, @brsmeas Executive Secretary, explains how the expected new framework on chemicals & waste could affect the implementation of the Basel, Rotterdam & Stockholm Conventions.

We face a triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature & biodiversity loss, and pollution & waste.

We have global frameworks in place to address the first 2. ✅

This week, #ICCM5 could end in Bonn with a new framework on chemicals and waste.

Let's harness the power of 3✨
