The Rotterdam Convention (formally, the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade) is a multilateral treaty to promote shared responsibilities in relation to importation of hazardous chemicals. The convention promotes open exchange of information and calls on exporters of hazardous chemicals to use proper labeling, include directions on safe handling, and inform purchasers of any known restrictions or bans. Signatory nations can decide whether to allow or ban the importation of chemicals listed in the treaty, and exporting countries are obliged to make sure that producers within their jurisdiction comply. The sixth meeting of the Rotterdam Conference〔()〕 was held from 28 April to 10 May 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland. ==Substances covered under the Convention== *2,4,5-T and its salts and esters *Alachlor *Aldicarb *Aldrin *Asbestos – Actinolite, Anthophyllite, Amosite, Crocidolite, and Tremolite only *Benomyl (certain formulations) *Binapacryl *Captafol *Carbofuran (certain formulations) *Chlordane *Chlordimeform *Chlorobenzilate *DDT *Dieldrin *Dinitro-ortho-cresol (DNOC) and its salts *Dinoseb and its salts and esters *1,2-dibromoethane (EDB) *Endosulfan *Ethylene dichloride *Ethylene oxide *Fluoroacetamide *Hexachlorocyclohexane (mixed isomers) *Heptachlor *Hexachlorobenzene *Lindane * including inorganic and organometallic mercury compounds *Methamidophos (certain formulations) *Methyl parathion (certain formulations) *Monocrotophos *Parathion *Pentachlorophenol and its salts and esters *Phosphamidon (certain formulations) *Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) *Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) *Polychlorinated terphenyls (PCT) *Tetraethyl lead *Tetramethyl lead *Thiram (certain formulations) *Toxaphene *Tributyl tin compounds *Tris (2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate (TRIS) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rotterdam Convention」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
