| The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) are inviting stakeholders to provide comments on the Risk Management Evaluation (RME) for chlorpyrifos, a proposed POP ahead of a meeting of the POPs Review Committee (POPRC). The UK is a party to the Stockholm Convention on POPs, which are substances that persist in the environment, accumulate in living organisms, pose a risk to our health and the environment and have the potential for long range transport across international borders. Chlorpyrifos is an insecticide which is no longer registered for use in the UK. The RME provides information on the socio and economic impacts of any control measures under consideration for this substance. Comments are therefore invited on alternatives, impacts on society, efficiency and efficacy of proposed control measures, costs and waste disposal. Further details and submission information can be found on GOV.UK. Comments and/or queries should be directed to the Defra POPs team at POPs@defra.gov.uk Deadline: 3 May 2024 |
