Secretariat opens comment period on revised draft risk profile for PBDD/Fs and mixed PBCDD/Fs & PBCDFs (excluding PCDD/Fs)

The Stockholm Convention Secretariat invited comments on the (revised) draft risk profile evaluated within the POPs Review Committee (POPRC) process for polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs) and mixed polybrominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBCDD/Fs and PBCDFs), excluding PCDD/Fs. Draft risk profile consultation is a key step toward potential future POPRC recommendations to list substances under the Convention (Annex A/B/C), which can subsequently drive global restrictions and downstream national/regional implementation.
