Tóxicos en el Hogar 2 (Toxic Chemicals at Home)

To achieve the objectives of preventing health and environmental pollution related to chemicals found in products, promote safer alternatives, and generate a collaborative effort, Fronteras Comunes followed up the successful “Toxic Chemicals at Home” booklet with a second installation: “Toxic Chemicals at Home 2". The booklet is now being used in community workshops as a tool to promote awareness about heavy metals in products, hazardous pesticides, electronic waste, and other POPs. Fronteras Comunes is hopeful that this booklet (along with other efforts) will stimulate greater awareness in the public to push the Mexican government for policy changes and greater compliance with the SAICM and Stockholm Convention.
