In the morning, the OEWG discussed progress on existing Emerging Policy Issues (EPI). In the afternoon, the OEWG addressed the candidacy of environmentally persistent pharmaceutical pollutants (EPPPs) as a new EPI, and discussed other issues of concern, namely highly hazardous pesticides (HHPs) and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs).
