HEAL’s action on mercury

A global mercury treaty must protect health and the environment
You are here: Home page » Activities » Mercury » HEAL’s action on mercury
HEAL calls on the EU to pursue the strongest possible global mercury treaty, and at EU level, to eliminate as much as possible the mercury supply and demand.

HEAL aims to raise awareness of health and societal hazards of exposure to mercury and the importance of reducing exposure. We place special focus on protecting vulnerable groups and sharing good practice and advocacy tools for increased action and policy change.

HEAL participates in the International POPs Elimination Network and the Zero Mercury Working Group, and uses our Stay Healthy Stop Mercury Campaign to work for a global phase out of mercury uses and trade.
