In collaboration with the Polish Supreme Medical Chamber and the Polish Society of Allergology, HEAL Poland organized a series of virtual trainings for over 300 doctors. These trainings delved into critical health topics, including the impacts of air and transport pollution, health and climate change, and the urban burden of disease. The aim was to enhance doctors' awareness and understanding of the environmental and climate-related threats to health in Poland.
This week a EU committee will discuss and potentially vote on a large number of chemicals classification and labelling, restriction and authorisation proposals. If granted, these authorisations will allow the continued exposure of thousands of European citizens and the environment to substances of very high concern.
HEAL has joined the European Environment Bureau (EEB) and 25 environment and health NGOs to share our concerns with the REACH Committee. This letter is available online.
