28 April 2008
New electronics standard stopped!
ChemSec, together with 45 environment and health organisations, are happy to announce victory in the first battle against unnecessary flame retarding standards. Implementation of this global standard (IEC 62368, Technical requirements for all electronic equipment) would have doubled the use (estimations of increased use vary between 250 000– 750 000 tons) of flame retardants in electronic equipment causing great harm to human health and the environment.

The outcome of the vote in the National Committees of the IEC (International Electrotechnical Committee) last Friday (25 April) became public today. In total 18 of 31 voting countries (58%) cast a no vote to this new standard.

ChemSec and all organisations that have been active in this fight are of course very pleased with this victory. At the same time, NGOs remain concerned about the two upcoming amendments of existing standards containing the same environmental hazards. The amendments of these existing standards (60065 and 60950) are up for voting in a near future and they must be stopped for the same reason.

Chemicals, Health and Environment Monitoring Trust

We are all unwittingly exposed to a cocktail of man-made chemicals which are found in many everyday products including TVs, computers, cars,construction materials, sporting equipment, toiletries and cosmetics, and some foods.

CHEM Trust believes that certain classes of chemical can undermine humans and wildlife by effecting their health, behaviour, intelligence and ability to reproduce.

CHEM Trust is working to raise awareness of this problem and to improve chemicals legislation, to protect future generations of humans and wildlife. From a human health point of view we will work to ensure future generations are as healthy as possible and can live up to their full potential in terms of their behaviour, intelligence and ability to have children.

Hallo Karlheinz,
in welcher Hinsicht könnten diese Organisationen/Institute interessant für uns sein?

Gruß, Lucca

[Karlheinz]

Von möglichen zukünftigen MCS-Vereinigungen abgesehen sind das so ziemlich die einzigen Organisationen, die in Teilbereichen etwas in Richtung unserer Interessen Gehendes unternehmen und auch in wahrnehmbarer Weise auf der politischen Ebene präsent sind. Man sollte meinen, dass wir ein Interesse daran haben sollten, unsere Erfahrungen dort mit einzubringen. Es wäre jedenfalls m.E. erstrebenswert, wenn wir dort mit auf der Agenda stünden.
Die arbeiten teilweise z.B. bei SAICEM mit und ich meine es wäre hilfreich und wünschenswert, wenn die uns bekannten gesundheitlichen Probleme in einem solchen Rahmen Erwähnung finden würden (z.B.).

Es gibt allerdings zugegebenerweise auch Leute, die derartige Versuche schon deshalb bekämpfen würden, weil sie meinen, der Terminus \"MCS\" sollte durch ein anderes (noch unbekanntes) Zauberwort ersetzt werden, dass auf magische Weise unsere Probleme lösen würde. (Und die Verwender von \"MCS\" seien Industrieagenten, die durch heimtückische Versuche den Begriff zu etablieren, wozu sicher auch NGOs gehören würden, gegen unsere Interessen arbeiten.) Wie dem auch sei, jeder mag den Namen seines Vertrauens verwenden. Meiner ist zumindest bis auf weiteres \"MCS\".

Davon abgesehen finde ich es einfach ganz interessant zu sehen, was es auf dem Gebiet so alles für Aktivitäten gibt. Vielleicht sind wir ja nicht ganz so allein, wie es manchmal den Anschein hat. Zuweilen findet man dort auch ganz interessante Infos. Manche MCS-Gruppen zeigen z.T. Interesse für ähnliche Dinge, z.B. umweltmedizinische Fragen im Zusammenhang mit Chemieprodukten. Ss scheint da eine gewisse Schnittmenge zu geben.

Die vorgestellten NGOs etc. sind oft nicht gerade Vereine aus der Nachbarschaft, aber MCS ist ja doch auch ein überregionales Problem.

[Darüberhinaus kommt mir die Berichterstattung (womit ich unsere Medien im allgemeinen meine) hierzulande manchmal etwas provinziell vor, was mich vor ca. 10 Jahren (wo ich noch nichts von meiner MCS wußte) dazu veranlasst hat meine engl. Sprachkenntnisse etwas aufzupolieren und mal einen Blick über die Grenzen zu werfen. Was ich nach wie vor als Bereicherung empfinde.]

Das seh ich wie Du Karlheinz, über den Tellerrand schauen ist eine der wichtigsten Pflichtübungen.
Solche Seiten die Du sie aufgeführt hast wünsche ich mir für unsere Organisatioen im Land.

Problem bei den MCS Gruppen ist, dass kaum eine erkannt hat wie weiträumig wird denken und handeln müssen.
Grabenkämpfe wie der über den Begriff MCS sind für die Industrie ein Genuß. Aber erklär das mal jemand.

Als ich heute Morgen den Brief von "MCS" Beacon of Hope im Blog gelesen habe dachte ich nur, warum schreib
von unseren Gruppen in Deutschland keiner einen solchen Brief für den Arzt der sich am Weitesten für uns
aus dem Fenster gehängt hat. Dieser Brief hat soviel Warmherzigkeit und Solidarität zur Sache, wir können
lernen daraus, jede Menge.

Hallo Karlheinz,

danke für die viele Arbeit die Du hier reingesteckt hast. Du hast recht, wir sollten in alle Richtungen aktiv werden. Jetzt bräuchte ich nur noch so gute englische Sprachkenntnisse wie Du, um aktiv werden zu können. Das mit dem Auffrischen der Sprachkenntnisse ist eben leider nicht so einfach.

THE CONTROL OF PESTICIDES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
A Call for Action to Protect Human Health

Auszug:

\"The Collegium Ramazzini urges the EU to adopt strong legislation to protect public
health and the environment against adverse effects of pesticides.
In regard to the proposed Regulation on the placing of plant protection products on the
market, the Collegium recommends:
• Apply stringent “cut-off” criteria as hazard triggers to eliminate the most
hazardous pesticides from food products and the environment
• Approve substances for use in the cultivation of food and feed only if they are not
carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction (categories 1, 2, and 3 under
the provisions of the current Directive 67/548/EEC)
• Likewise, no substance should be approved, if it is considered to be endocrine
disrupting, or causing developmental neurotoxicity or immunotoxicity
• Any derogation or dispensation from this legislation should be granted only when
residues of the active substance concerned in food and feed can be assured to
remain below the limit of determination using the most sensitive method; and
• The EU should support the development and implementation of safer and more
effective ways to manage pests.\"

http://www.sinlist.org/

Welcome to the first edition of the SIN Reporter. Since
its introduction last September in Brussels, the SIN
(Substitute It Now!) List has been ‘rocking the boat’ –
stimulating not just constructive discussion, but also
constructive action.

The SIN List consists of 267 chemicals that have been
identified as Substances of Very High Concern based
on the criteria established by the EU’s new chemical
legislation, REACH. Our concept is straightforward:
substitute hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives.
Encouraging but urgent

The bold REACH framework has been in place for more
than a year now. During this time, only fifteen chemicals
have been put on the EU’s Candidate List, which
lists high concern substances. For the first time ever,
consumers have the right to know if these hazardous
substances are present in a product. Most importantly,
the Candidate List is the first step to phasing out these
chemicals once and for all. The SIN List is proving to be
an important tool for speeding up the legislative process
by highlighting a broad range of chemicals that
could – and should – be included on the Candidate List
today.

Toxic substances know no boundaries
Interest in the SIN List is now spreading outside
Europe. Our Guest Writer, Daryl Ditz, Senior Advisor
at the Center for International Environmental Law in
Washington, describes the growing interest in the SIN
List ‘across the pond’ and beyond, and the attention
it is receiving in recent reports, conferences and other
initiatives in the U.S., Canada and Japan. Innovest, for
example, has assessed the financial risks and opportunities
of REACH using the SIN List and the City of San
Francisco recently arranged a workshop on the topic.
The SIN List has also been mentioned in the venerable
Scientific American and even the U.S. Department of
Defense is starting to use it. Is the U.S. now ready for
the SIN List?

Business takes the lead
Perhaps the most exciting development is that leading
companies are beginning to use the SIN List in
their corporate social responsibility and sustainability
efforts. The ChemSec Business Group, which includes
companies like Sony Ericsson, Sara Lee and Skanska,
is helping to lead the way. By taking action ahead of
legislation, they are setting an inspiring example for
others to follow.

Substitute It Now!

Businesses, local and national governments and NGOs
are identifying new ways to put the SIN List to use,
apply it and push legislation forward. We will highlight
some of these initiatives in this report and the ones to
come. Hopefully it won’t be long before the EU takes
action on all 267 chemicals on the SIN List so that they
no longer pose a serious risk to our health and the
environment.

The Investor Environmental Health Network is a collaborative partnership of investment managers, advised by nongovernmental organizations, concerned about the financial and public health risks associated with corporate toxic chemicals policies. IEHN, through dialogue and shareholder resolutions, encourages companies to adopt policies to continually and systematically reduce and eliminate the toxic chemicals in their products.  As of early 2008, IEHN members managed more than $41 billion in assets. IEHN staff are available to serve as information resources for companies.

 Companies adopting safer chemicals policies can anticipate and avoid “toxic lockout” from the marketplace, such as government bans or restrictions on products, and consumer and institutional decisions to seek safer products.  They also can reduce their reputational and legal risks and enhance long-term shareholder value. Companies producing and selling safer products can gain market share, grow their top- and bottom-lines, and enhance their brand.

Internationale Koalition zur Spielzeugsicherheit gründet sich auf Initiative von WECF

Während die Spielzeugindustrie auf der 61.Internationalen Spielzeugmesse in Nürnberg ihre Neuheiten feiert, werden Millionen Kinder weltweit giftigen Schadstoffen in Spielzeug ausgesetzt.

Lois Gibbs founded CHEJ after winning the nation’s first community relocation of 900 families due to a leaking toxic waste dump in Love Canal, New York. Through this effort she also woke up the nation to recognize the link between people’s exposures to dangerous chemicals in the community setting and serious public health impacts.

CHEJ was instrumental in establishing some of the first national policies critical to protecting community health like the Superfund Program, Right-to-Know and others. By pioneering the effort nationwide to protect communities from exposures to dangerous environmental chemicals, in the air, water and soil, CHEJ has become the preeminent national leader among grassroots groups reducing the burden of toxic substances on our environment.
