On Wednesday, POPRC-11 met for its third day. In the morning, the plenary heard reports from contact groups on their work on decabromodiphenyl ether (decaBDE), pentadecafluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), short-chained chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and dicofol. Participants also resumed discussions of effective participation in the work of the Committee, and began discussions of the POPRC’s work on guidance on alternatives to perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts, perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOSF) and their related chemicals.
In last hour of the morning plenary session, the POPRC reviewed outcomes of COP7 with implications for the work of the Committee, and discussed what information could be collected about unintentional releases of hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD). Chair Gastaldello Moreira then suspended plenary for the rest of the day to allow participants to continue working on a variety of issues in small groups.
In the afternoon, contact groups convened to address issues including effective participation, PFOA, guidance on PFOS alternatives, decaBDE, and dicofol. A drafting group met to work on a draft decision on SCCPs, and a Friends of the Chair group met to continue discussions of HCBD.
