Controlling Lead Chromate Pigments: the Case for a Rotterdam Convention Listing

IPEN is campaigning to promote a decision by the Rotterdam Convention to list lead chromates in its Annex III and make them subject to the Convention’s Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure. 

This paper presents information about lead chromates that may be of interest and use to campaign participants; to others in the IPEN network; and to anyone who supports IPEN’s Toxics Free Future goal. 

 The objective of IPEN’s Lead Chromates Listing Campaign is a decision by the Rotterdam Convention’s Conference of the Parties (COP) to list lead chromates at its 2025 meeting.
