EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to the Governing Council of the United Nations Environment Programme decision 19/13C, which requests UNEP to develop a global, legally binding instrument on persistent organic pollutants (POPs), UNEP initiated a number of activities. There are also activities undertaken by Governments and organizations at the national, regional and international levels. It became clear that there is a need to co-ordinate work being done to eliminate releases of POPs to help ensure effective and efficient use of resources. To facilitate such co-ordination, UNEP has developed the Master List of Actions on the Reduction and/or Elimination of Releases of POPs. This executive summary of the Master List of Actions provides, in geographical maps, the country contributions to the Master list of Actions. The data included below is a summary of what was provided from Governments without verification as to their accuracy. The data is generally insufficient to assess global use patterns. 1.1 OBJECTIVE This executive summary aims at helping visualizing country activities (ongoing, planned and concurrent) on POPs. This document includes maps where, due to the scale, not all countries/states are visible. Details on countries that do not appear on these maps can be found in the Master List of Actions. i 1.2 ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE The data used for the Maps in the executive summary to the Master list is collected from the chapters 3, 4 and 5 of the master list, the country contributions, compiled from submissions received from the governmental POPs Focal Points. n Chapter 3: Country contributions: Assessment and monitoring projects of POPs chemicals. n Chapter 4: Country contributions: Information on POPs National Action Plans aiming at the reduction and/or elimination of the releases of POPs. n Chapter 5: Country contributions: Information on the regulatory status of POPs; bans, restrictions, and/or other legal permitted uses. The following 14 maps are developed. All maps are accompanied with a short summary and legend: n Map 1: Overview on all reporting Countries to the Master List n Map 2: Countries having planned, ongoing or concurrent Monitoring & Assessment activities n Map 3: Countries having National Action Plans on POPs n Map 4: Legal status Aldrin n Map 5: Legal status Chlordane n Map 6: Legal status DDT n Map 7: Legal status Dieldrin n Map 8: Legal status Dioxins/Furans n Map 9: Legal status Endrin n Map 10: Legal status Heptachlor n Map 11: Legal status Hexachlorobenzene n Map 12: Legal status Mirex n Map 13: Legal status PCBs n Map 14: Legal status Toxaphene ii MAP 1 OVERVIEW ON REPORTING COUNTRIES TO THE MASTER LIST Over 100 countries submitted contributions to the 2002 edition of the Master List of Actions on the Reduction and/or Elimination of the Releases of Persistent Organic Pollutants. Map 1 shows the geographical distribution of these countries. Sub-Saharan Africa and West and Southern Asia are under- represented in this survey. = Countries reported to the Master List iii MAP 2 COUNTRIES HAVING PLANNED, ONGOING OR CONCURRENT MONITORING & ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES 76 countries reported on some form of planned, ongoing or concurrent monitoring and assessment activities. These reports include a wide range of POPs -specific projects, research programs, monitoring programs, etc. The activities are undertaken at the regional, national or sub-national level. The main focus is on water quality. PCBs and pesticides specific programs are among the most common of these monitoring activities. = Countries reported having Monitoring & Assessment Activities iv MAP 3 COUNTRIES HAVING NATIONAL ACTION PLANS ON POPS 65 countries submitted information on POPs National Action Plans aimed at the reduction and/or elimination of the releases of POPs into the environment. Around 50% of these countries reported the existence of a National Action Plan, although mostly under another broader action plan. Several countries have reported a series of documents, either for specific POPs or relevant to a certain problem, like obsolete stocks or malaria prevention, or for specific regions, or to the existence of special regimes for vulnerable areas or water bodies. The other half of the countries responding reported the absence of a national action plan for POPs. = Countries reported having National Action Plans on POPs v MAP 4 LEGAL STATUS: ALDRIN Aldrin is banned for all uses in most countries in Europe, North and Latin America and South-East Asia that reported. The number of countries that report “No action/allowed” for use seems to be limited. = banned = restricted = no action/permitted vi MAP 5 LEGAL STATUS: CHLORDANE Chlordane is banned for all uses in most countries in Europe, North and Latin America and South-East Asia that reported, but to a lesser extent than Aldrin. Several countries continue to allow Chlordane for specific uses. = banned = restricted = no action/permitted vii MAP 6 LEGAL STATUS: DDT DDT use is banned in most of the countries around the world that reported. Some countries continue to rely on this POP for specific uses. Among those mentioned are malaria (vector) control and wood preservation. = banned = restricted = no action/permitted viii MAP 7 LEGAL STATUS: DIELDRIN Controls on the use of Dieldrin around the world are comparable to Aldrin (map 4). It is generally banned for all uses in most of the countries in Europe, North and Latin America and South-East Asia that reported. The number of countries that continue to permit the use of the chemicals seems to be very limited. = banned = restricted = no action/permitted ix MAP 8 LEGAL STATUS: DIOXINS AND FURANS Dioxins and Furans are not produced for commercial purposes but produced unintentionally as a byproduct of industrial or combustion processes. The releases of these POPs can be limited through various means including the establish emissions standards. Only 30 countries reported that they had enacted such standards for the 2002 edition of the Master List of Actions. = = Emission standards, or other regulatory action taken x MAP 9 LEGAL STATUS: ENDRIN Endrin is banned for all uses in most of the countries in Europe, North and Latin America and South-East Asia that reported, although not to the extent of Aldrin (map 4) and Dieldrin (map 7).

  • Biopesticides – Expectations for Control
    Biopesticides – Expectations for Control Jeanette Gaultier, Crops Knowledge Centre, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives, Carman, MB R0G 0J0 Email: [email protected] A biopesticide is a naturally occurring organism or substance that can be used to control pests. The term ‘biopesticide’ can be applied to microorganisms, biochemicals and plant extracts that are used as pest control products. Although not the case in Canada, some countries also consider plants with ‘incorporated protectants’ (i.e. transgenic crops) as biopesticides. Interest in biopesticides is increasing because such products are often recognized as ‘reduced’ or ‘low’ risk alternatives to conventional pesticides. In Canada, a pesticide is considered to be of reduced risk if human health and/or environmental risks are decreased relative to other pesticides registered for the same use. General characteristics of reduced risk pesticides include (PMRA, 2002): • Low toxicity; • Limited effects on non-target organisms; • Good environmental profile; • Low pest resistance potential; • Decreased application rates or applications; and • Compatible with integrated pest management principles. A product doesn’t have to be a biopesticide to be considered reduced risk. Conversely, biopesticides are often, but not always, classified as reduced risk. Biopesticides currently account for only a small percentage (~1%) of the global pesticide market (Copping and Menn, 2000; Warrior, 2000; Rodgers, 1993). These products have generally found commercial success in niche markets such as horticulture, greenhouse, nursery and ornamental, and organic production. Uptake and use of biopesticides in conventional field crop agriculture remains low. Why is this the case? What should agricultural producers expect from biopesticides? Regulatory Expectations All pesticides, including biopesticides, available for use in Canada are regulated by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

    REVIEW. INSIGHTS. OUTLOOK. Business Year 2016 Dear Reader, We live and work in turbulent times – and worldwide political developments have touched us greatly this year. Our entire industry was directly affected by drastic political and economic changes around the globe. Nevertheless, we were able to cope successfully with this challenging business environment in 2016. It was a demanding and exciting year, and we are satisfied with the economic outcome. In particular, we are pleased about the development of our shops in Sydney because Australia experienced a stronger demand from Chinese travellers than Europe, for example. This means that we were even able to exceed the anticipated result. The media visibility of our presence in Sydney Airport was particularly high in the opening year, surely also due to the successful interaction of size, innovation and customer service. In our Hamburg head office all employees are now under one roof since completion of the building exten- sion in Koreastrasse 5 in the autumn. We would like to thank all those involved for their strong commitment. We succeeded in harmoniously combining aesthetics and operating efficiency. In view of the global political situation, we are focusing even more intensively on people who need help – and this includes across borders. For example, we are supporting a refugee accommodation centre together with our employees in Hamburg HafenCity. We hope you enjoy reading our annual report!

  • Professor I Hemmelig Tjeneste
    Professor i hemmelig tjeneste Matematikeren, datapioneren og kryptologen Ernst Sejersted Selmer Øystein Rygg Haanæs 1 Forord Denne populærvitenskapelige biografien er skrevet på oppdrag fra Universitetet i Bergen og Nasjonal sikkerhetsmyndighet for å markere at det er 100 år siden Ernst Sejersted Selmer ble født. La meg være helt ærlig. For ni måneder siden ante jeg ikke hvem Selmer var. Det gjorde nesten ingen av mine venner og bekjente heller. Jeg har faktisk mistanke om at svært få i Norge utenfor det matematiske miljøet kjenner til navnet. Det er en skam. Fra midten av forrige århundre ble høyere utdanning i Norge reformert og åpnet for massene. Universitetet i Bergen vokste ut av kortbuksene og begynte å begå virkelig seriøs vitenskap. De første digitale computerne ble bygd og tatt i bruk i forskning og forvaltning. Norge fikk en «EDB-politikk». Alle nordmenn fikk et permanent fødselsnummer. Forsvaret etablerte en kryptologitjeneste på høyt nivå, og norsk kryptoindustri ble kapabel til å levere utstyr til NATO-alliansen. Ernst Sejersted Selmer hadde minst én finger med i spillet i alle disse prosessene. Selmer hadde lange armer og stor rekkevidde. Han satte overveldende mange spor etter seg, og denne boken er et forsøk på å gå opp disse sporene og gi Selmer den oppmerksomheten han fortjener. Enda en innrømmelse når vi først er i gang. Jeg er ikke matematiker. Det har selvsagt sine sider når oppdraget er å skrive en biografi om nettopp en matematiker. Da jeg startet arbeidet, hadde jeg ikke det minste begrep om hva en diofantisk ligning eller et skiftregister var. Heldigvis har jeg fått uvurderlig hjelp av de tidligere Selmer-studentene Christoph Kirfel og Tor Helleseth.

  • 1 Canada Case Study Introduction the Stockholm Convention On
    Canada Case Study Introduction The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (the Stockholm Convention) aims to protect human health and the environment from persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The Convention seeks to achieve this by first identifying and listing these dangerous toxic chemicals in its Annexes, then restricting and eventually eliminating them from production, use, trade, storage and release. The key provisions of the Stockholm Convention seek to control: POPs that are produced and used intentionally; POPs that are produced and used unintentionally; and POPs stockpiles and wastes. Parties to the Stockholm Convention are engaged in the task of designing, establishing and implementing effective and efficient legal frameworks to ensure the environmentally sound management of chemicals. Canada signed and ratified the Stockholm Convention in May 2001. In May 2006, Canada met the requirement under Article 7 of the Convention to submit a National Implementation Plan, and in March 2007 submitted its report as part of the first round of Party reports under Article 15 of the Convention. Background on Canada Profile of Canada Canada is the second largest country in the world by total area, at nearly 10 million square kilometres. It borders on the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans, and shares the Great Lakes with the United States to the south. Canada also has the world’s most extensive system of freshwater, with approximately two million lakes and rivers. As of July 2010, Canada’s population was estimated to be just over 34 million, having risen steadily since 1960 when the population was slightly under 18 million people. About 80% of Canada’s population is located in urban areas.

  • 2010 Pesticide Sales in British Columbia Integrated Pest Management Program Ministry of Environment
    2010 Pesticide Sales in British Columbia Integrated Pest Management Program Ministry of Environment Executive Summary In order for any regulatory agency to operate in an effective, risk-based fashion, it is important to have current data on key aspects of the industries it regulates. The Ministry of Environment’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program regulates the sale and use of pesticides in British Columbia, and strives to reduce risk to human health and the environment from pesticides by carrying out targeted actions and strategies. To help achieve this goal, we undertook an analysis of current data on the sale of pesticides in the province, which can be used as a tool in the guidance of policy development and program management. To carry out this analysis, IPM Program staff designed and built a database and information management system to process the large volume of pesticide sales and use data that is collected annually from pesticide vendors and users. We then used this system to analyse the 2010 sales of all commercial pesticides, breaking down the data by pesticide type, sector of use, region of sale, and agricultural pesticide use intensity. Where possible, our data was then compared to previous data for B.C. from 2003, and the most current data from other provinces. The highlights of our results for 2010 commercial pesticide sales include: Pesticide vendors in B.C. sold a total of 2,955,302 kilograms of commercial formulated products, which represented a total of 1,289,933 kilograms of active ingredient. The top five active ingredients sold were insecticidal mineral oil, glyphosate, sulphur, chlorothalonil, and herbicidal mineral oil.
