Concerns have arisen not only due to additives in plastics but also regarding the chemicals that make up plastic; information is still needed on their impact and properties. Additionally, there is apprehension about the role of plastics in the long-range transport of pollutants to the Arctic region. Furthermore, the heightened focus on a circular economy and increased recycling might result in the reoccurrence of legacy pollutants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we navigate through the challenges posed by plastics, we aim to foster an open exchange of information. With an overarching goal to address the evolving landscape of plastics and chemical additives, our seminar seeks to discuss the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Which chemicals are present in plastics?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To what extent are chemicals of concern transported via long range transport of plastics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which plastics related chemicals should be considered for Nordic screening exercises and\/or environmental monitoring?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stockholm, Sweden<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Files available for download:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-00200b31-8e6c-4d83-bc53-8b960ce9359d\" href=\"https:\/\/nordicscreening.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Workshop-agenda-nov-2023-chemicals-in-plastic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Workshop Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nordicscreening.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Workshop-agenda-nov-2023-chemicals-in-plastic.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-00200b31-8e6c-4d83-bc53-8b960ce9359d\">PDF<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-1facc006-648b-4924-903c-3f55f9860398\" href=\"https:\/\/nordicscreening.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/KemI-presentation-plastics-231116-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Governmental assignment &#8211; obstacles to plastic recycling, Erik Gravenfors,<br>Swedish Chemicals Agency <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nordicscreening.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/KemI-presentation-plastics-231116-2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-1facc006-648b-4924-903c-3f55f9860398\">PDF<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a01c6842-23d3-425c-b4ce-0a066151ca7d\" href=\"https:\/\/nordicscreening.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Plastic-additives-in-consumer-products-and-indoor-dust_Pernilla_Nov-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plastic additives in consumer products and indoor dust, Pernilla Bohlin, NILU<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nordicscreening.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Plastic-additives-in-consumer-products-and-indoor-dust_Pernilla_Nov-2023.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a01c6842-23d3-425c-b4ce-0a066151ca7d\">PDF<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e9e2109f-7808-4e45-bbfd-e91567847956\" href=\"https:\/\/nordicscreening.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/hazards_with_chemicals_in_recycled_plastics_nv_fsz.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Risks with chemicals in recycled plastic.
