POPRC CONVENES LAST MEETING BEFORE COP4
Geneva, 17 October—The Fourth Meeting of the Persistent Organic Pollutant Review Committee (POPRC4) has convened from 13-17 October 2008, in Geneva, Switzerland. Delegates considered, among other agenda items: a draft risk profile for short-chained chlorinated paraffins; proposals to list endosulfan and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) under Annexes A, B or C of the Convention; new information on perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS); and toxic interactions between POPs. This was the Committee's final meeting prior to COP4, which will be held in Geneva in early May 2009.
