Conclusions and next steps
The meeting participants concluded that:
- The project “Strengthening Capacities for Sound Management of Biocides (Pesticides and Disinfectants) to Reduce Population Exposure in Ukraine” was implemented successfully and all planned tasks were performed and the project outcomes achieved;
- The project implementation made a big positive impact in both countries; it is the first time when the issue of biocides and their health effects was explicitly addressed;
- New knowledge has been collected through the project implementation in Ukraine; the most important is an understanding that worrisome trends of health disorders during last years cannot be explained by known reasons and exposure to biocides can play an important role in negative changes in population health in Ukraine; biocides are widely used and likelihood of exposure is obvious and might be high;
- Actions should be taken to prevent negative health impact at national and sub-regional level;
- the development of proposals for legislation is an important and necessary step for the improvement of the state policy in the field of sound management of chemicals;
- development and presentation of the Web-Information on the collection of data on biocides и Classification and labeling of biocides (on-line information resource) is an important initiative for strengthening coordination and cooperation between institution having mandate in the areas of hazardous chemicals.
- In Ukraine, for the first time, work was carried out with the provision of information on the safety of chemicals registered in the country. The experience gained confirms the need to continue this work by expanding the range of the studied substances.
- Circulation of educational materials for populations – the first attempt of prevention of biocides impact at individual level; it should become a regular practise and multiplied by public organizations working in the area of environmental health, hazardous chemicals and biocides;
The meeting participants noted signification support from WHO Regional Office of Europe and good organizations of activities and the project management at national and international level.
The workshop was closed at 18.00 on 12 November 2018.
