The Chemical Review Committee (CRC) meeting in Rome unanimously recommended that lead chromates be listed under the Rotterdam Convention due to their widespread harm, including serious childhood and occupational exposures. This global agreement mandates Prior Informed Consent before the trade of listed chemicals. On September 20, 2026, Morocco, Switzerland, and Cameroon submitted notifications regarding this Convention process.
