@HEJ_Support@WECF_INT@EuropePAN and the German NGO Forum on Environment and Development stress that #EDCs remain global environmental threat that requires international action
#GAHHPs is a voluntary initiative that includes all relevant actors, working together, to achieve targets related to #HHPs under the #GFC. Many NGOs have proved experience of promoting pesticide-free alternatives in various regions @ToxicsFree@CEJADKenya@EuropePAN
@GENetwork briefing on the Preparations for the Fifteenth Meeting of the Open-ended Working Group of the Basel Convention (OEWG-15) and other Subsidiary Bodies under @brsmeas Register at https://t.co/2vOe387N4K
A remote island with no industry, no factories, and a population of just a few dozen people now has the highest recorded #PFAS levels in public drinking water in Scotland https://t.co/bjaMKJe9VR
Communities living near incinerators—often low-income and overburdened by pollution—should not become testing grounds for #PFAS disposal https://t.co/UqWBo081jx
Between January and April 2026, parallel projects were implemented in Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan by @ToxicsFree NGOs to address the unregulated circulation of #phthalates and #bisphenols in plastic products #PlasticsTreaty#EDCs
As countries work to address #EDCs, this research provides evidence for:
• addressing chemicals as groups;
• considering mixture effects in risk assessment;
• improving transparency about chemicals in products;
• avoiding regrettable substitution @CEJADKenya@ToxicsFree
New @ak_action article: toxic chemicals in plastics, including phthalates, bisphenols, and flame retardants, are linked to neurodevelopmental harm in children #PlasticsTreaty#ChemicalSafety#ChildHealth https://t.co/lBNMjGEK5K
A new study found that mixtures of #bisphenols are more toxic than #BPA. This reinforces growing concerns about regrettable substitution and the need to address chemical groups #EDCs#GFC https://t.co/IdLoUa8jOr
A toxic industry shut down in Europe over massive #PFAS contamination is now operating in India using the same machinery and producing the same “forever chemicals”. Communities in Maharashtra are protesting while India still lacks specific PFAS regulations https://t.co/f0qkcOuUw1
Chemical pollution in Bangladesh is no longer an isolated industrial problem. It has evolved into a national public health emergency, closely linked to ecological degradation, #climateinjustice, and growing socioeconomic vulnerability @esdobd https://t.co/bdippNZZTj
Children are especially vulnerable to #EDCs and other toxic substances linked to plastic. Convenience should never come at the expense of children’s health @Greenpeace@ToxicsFree@CEJADKenya@EDCFree
This is not an isolated exposure. It is a systemic contamination linked to consumer products, food packaging, textiles, #firefightingfoams, polluted water. Strong action on #PFAS across the full lifecycle is urgently needed @brsmeas
