Turkey has established regulations to manage chemicals in line with international conventions. The TR REACH regulation establishes requirements for chemical registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction. Over 52,850 chemicals have been notified under the CLP regulation. The POPS regulation prohibits 15 substances and restricts the use of 12 others. Turkey has ratified the Stockholm and Rotterdam Conventions and is working to ratify the Minamata Convention. Projects are also helping to assess chemicals, eliminate legacy POPs, and remediate contaminated sites. Proper chemicals management is important for both human and environmental health.
