◉ Introduction to POPs Regulations

POPs is the abbreviation of English (Persistent Organic Pollutants), and the Chinese name is "persistent organic pollutants". It refers to environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, long-distance migration, and potential toxicity. , natural or synthetic organic matter that is capable of long-distance transboundary movement through air, water and migratory species and deposited far from other discharge sites, and that can accumulate in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems with negative effects on the environment and organisms .

In 2004, the EU promulgated the Persistent Organic Pollutants Regulation (POPs Regulation) (EC) No 850/2004, which proposed specific control measures for the use of POPs in the EU. Since then, the European Commission has revised the POPs regulations for many times, bringing a variety of persistent organic pollutants commonly used in the industrial and consumer products into the regulatory control, many of which are widely used in the electrical and electronic industry. On June 25, 2019, the European Union issued a new POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021, which came into effect on July 15, 2019, and the original Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 was repealed.

◉ Hazards of POPs

(1) The impact on the birth weight of children may lead to a decrease in the birth weight of human infants, stunting, skeletal developmental disorders and metabolic disorders, which can all have an impact on human life.

(2) Disorders of the nervous system, attention, and inhibition of the immune system.

(3) Harm to the reproductive system. It also has potential threats to the endocrine system of the human body, leading to testicular cancer in men, decreased sperm count, abnormal reproductive function, imbalance of sex ratio in newborns, breast cancer in women, early puberty, etc., which not only harms the individual, but also causes harm to their offspring. cause permanent effects.

(4) Effects on cancer.

◉ Regulation Annex

The EU POPs regulation contains five annexes, namely:

Annex I List of Prohibited Substances

Annex II List of Restricted Substances

Annex III List of Substances Reducing Emissions

List of substances subject to waste management regulations in Annex IV, Article 7

Annex V Waste Management

◉ Scope of Control

Including such as chemical products, electrical and electronic products, toys, automobiles, textiles, furniture and other products.

◉ Which POPs substances should electronic products focus on?

For electronic products such as mobile phones, computers, TVs and other electronic products that do not involve the use of natural materials, it is necessary to focus on the risk of containing HBCDD and SCCP in flame-retardant components such as casings, wires and PCBs; non-metals, especially fluoropolymer materials contain PFOS, Risk of PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related substances.
