Two new substances proposed for Stockholm Convention listing

POPRC will review proposals to add two flame retardants to the Stockholm Convention's list of controlled substances. 

At the upcoming POPRC meeting in September, the committee will consider whether bis(2-ethylhexyl)tetrabromophthalate (TBPH) and decabromodiphenyl ether (DBDPE) should be included in Annexes A, B, and/or C. The Committee will also review revised draft risk profiles for four additional substances.
