Stockholm Convention POPRC-22 meeting details published (21–25 September 2026, Rome) including revised draft risk profile item for PBDD/Fs and mixed PBDD/PCDD/Fs

The Stockholm Convention Secretariat published the official schedule and key agenda focus for the 22nd meeting of the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee (POPRC-22), to be held 21–25 September 2026 in Rome, Italy (FAO HQ). The posted overview highlights that POPRC will consider the revised draft risk profile for polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs) and mixed polybrominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, including requests for additional Annex E information. This is relevant to regulatory horizon-scanning because POPRC outcomes can advance candidate chemicals through the Article 8 process toward possible future listing decisions by the COP.
