Government asks for opinion on plan against harmful chemical substances
The Belgian government is calling on citizens to share their opinions on a new national plan. It concerns the fifth implementation plan for tackling so-called persistent organic pollutants, also known as POPs.
POPs are chemical substances that can be very harmful. They remain in the environment for a very long time and can accumulate in nature. This poses a risk to both our health and the quality of our living environment.
The new plan describes how Belgium intends to tackle and reduce these substances in the future. The government believes it is important for citizens and organizations to contribute their thoughts on this subject. Therefore, a public consultation has now been launched where everyone can provide feedback on the draft.
Those who wish to participate can consult the full document via the FPS Public Health website. The results of this consultation will be used to further improve and refine the final plan.
Protecting the environment against dangerous substances is a major priority for the Belgian authorities. By actively participating in this plan, citizens can contribute to a safer and healthier future for everyone.
