1. - Guidelines and guidance on best available techniques and best environmental practices relevant to the persistent organic pollutants listed in Annex C
1.The work to update the guidelines and guidance on best available techniques and best environmental practices relevant to Article 5 and Annex C of the Stockholm Convention is ongoing. Priority areas of work include the following sections: V.A. Waste incinerators; V.C. Production of pulp using elemental chlorine or chemicals generating elemental chlorine; VI.A. Open burning of waste, including burning of landfill sites; VI.C. Residential combustion sources; VI.D. Fossil fuel-fired utility and industrial boilers; VI.E. Firing installations for wood and other biomass fuels; VI.F. Specific chemical production processes releasing chemicals listed in Annex C; VI.J. Textile and leather dyeing (with chloranil) and finishing (with alkaline extraction); VI.L. Smouldering of copper cables; and VI.M. Waste oil refineries.
2. - Guidance on best available techniques and best environmental practices relevant to the persistent organic pollutants listed in Annex A or B
2.The work to update the guidance on best available techniques and best environmental practices relevant to the chemicals listed in Annex A or B of the Stockholm Convention is ongoing. Priority areas of work include:
(a)The revision and updating of the guidance on best available techniques and best environmental practices for the recycling and waste disposal of articles containing polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), listed under the Stockholm Convention, to address considerations for all PBDEs listed in the Convention, including for best available techniques and best environmental practices for the production and use of decabromodiphenyl ether, and to make the guidance consistent with the Basel Convention technical guidelines on the environmentally sound management of wastes consisting of, containing or contaminated with PBDEs;77UNEP/CHW.14/7/Add.3/Rev.1.
(b)The revision and updating of the guidance on best available techniques and best environmental practices for the use of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOSF), listed under the Stockholm Convention, to make it consistent with the Basel Convention technical guidelines on the environmentally sound management of wastes consisting of, containing or contaminated with PFOS, its salts and PFOSF, including, inter alia, the description of the closed-loop system for hard-metal plating;88UNEP/CHW.12/5/Add.3/Rev.1.
(c)The revision and updating of the draft guidance on best available techniques and best environmental practices for the production and use of hexabromocyclododecane, listed with specific exemptions under the Stockholm Convention, to make it consistent with the Basel Convention technical guidelines on the environmentally sound management of wastes consisting of, containing or contaminated with hexabromocyclododecane;99UNEP/CHW.12/5/Add.7/Rev.1.
(d)The revision and updating of the draft guidance on best available techniques and best environmental practices for the production and use of pentachlorophenol, listed with specific exemptions under the Stockholm Convention, to make it consistent with the Basel Convention technical guidelines on the environmentally sound management of wastes consisting of, containing or contaminated with pentachlorophenol.1010UNEP/CHW.13/6/Add.3/Rev.1.
3. - Sites contaminated by persistent organic pollutants
3.The work to develop guidance for identification and management of sites contaminated by persistent organic pollutants is ongoing. Priority areas of work include collection of relevant information and case studies from Parties and others, in particular as they relate to management and remediation, inventory development, financial mechanisms, information relevant for developing countries, countries with economies in transition and developed countries, information covering a large range of scenarios and types of contamination (e.g., pesticides, production facilities) and for managing multiple contaminant scenarios at single sites (e.g., covering simultaneously POPs, metals, hydrocarbons, etc.), and examples of problems that can occur as well as successes.
