POPs NIP and the establishment of biomonitoring of chemicals in the Republic of Slovenia
2008
Kononenko, L. | Ternifi, V.
In preparation of the National Implementation Plan (NIP) for POPs Slovenia used the NIP Guidance and Dioxin inventory Toolkit. Additionally Action Plan Preparation Guide and the Guide for Socio-economic Assessment have been consulted. The multi-stakeholders were very well presented through the Slovene Chamber of Commerce. As little interest to the participation in the project has been expressed from the stakeholders and as there is no direct production of POPs, no stakeholder was directly involved. We present a short review of the NIP. The two step procedure - A: Inventory and B: Action plan development - was appropriate approach for us. The benefit is the detailed POPs inventory documentation on the POPs chemicals as well as the research done. Under the sub-project important activities have been initiated besides the proposed action plans (public education and awareness-raising). The role of governmental and professional institutions in the POPs management was determined. The review of the research programmes on specific polluted areas was prepared and the socio-economic aspects of POPs management, too. As an additional result of all this action the tentative programme of bio-monitoring was prepared and performed for the first time in the year 2005. Human milk and blood and few samples of two wildlife species were sampled and analysed on many parameters as POPs and PTSs (PCB, PCDD/F, pesticides, metals, benzene, fluoride). Because of the small extent of the sampling only few data were acquired. Based on these experiences we established a long-term biomonitoring programme to gather more data on the exposure of the general population of Slovenia to these chemicals, with the establishment of the national reference values for each measured parameter.
