Final project report of: National Action Plan on Mercury and Mercury-containing Wastes Management - Philippines.

Final project report: This project deals with the management of mercury and mercury-containing waste and will contribute to the UNEP priority area on harmful substances and hazardous waste under its Medium Term Strategy with the ultimate goal of minimizing the impact of harmful substances and hazardous waste to the environment and human beings. 

The annual meeting of the Mercury-Containing Products Partnership Area (Products Partnership) opened on 28 April 2010, at the Pepperdine University-Seaver College in Washington, D.C. The meeting was hosted by the Partnership lead, Dr. Maria Doa of the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA). 

The Mercury Waste Management project is amended by a technical, chemical and economic assessment of mercury-containing and mercury-contaminated tailings from the mining sector in developing countries. A feasibility study was undertaken in some developing countries that produced/produce precious metals or mercury and are left with mercury-containing tailings.

In response to a recommendation of the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership Advisory Group in 2009, the partnership area has updated a 2004 database of global mercury cell chlorine capacity. According to data compiled, some 100 facilities in 44 nations today have some industrial mercury cell chlorine capacity.
