Many countries have already taken action at a national level to prohibit
the use of all forms of asbestos to limit exposure and so control,
prevent and ultimately eliminate asbestos-related diseases, from
which at least 107 000 people die each year globally. However, there
are other countries that, for a range of reasons, have yet to act in the
same manner. .../...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical that is widely used in the production of polycarbonate (PC) plastics (used in food contact materials, such as baby bottles and food containers) and epoxy resins (used as protective linings for canned foods and beverages and as a coating on metal lids for glass jars and bottles). These uses result in low level consumer exposure to BPA via the diet. .../...
