In view of the global nature of the challenges posed by POPs, the Stockholm Convention on POPs was adopted at a Conference of Plenipotentiaries on 22 May, 2001 in Stockholm, Sweden. It entered into force in May, 2004 and Tanzania ratified it on 30 April, 2004. The objective of the Convention is to protect human health and the environment from adverse effects of persistent organic pollutants. The initial list of chemicals controlled under the Convention included 12 chemicals which were popularly referred to as the ‘dirty dozen’. However, during meetings of the Conference of the Parties in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015, additional 14 new chemicals were included in the list, making a total of 26 controlled chemicals as of now. The list consists of Pesticides (Aldrin, Dieldrin, DDT, Endrin, Chlordane, Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), Mirex, Toxaphene, Heptachlor, Alpha hexachlorocyclohexane, Beta hexachlorocyclohexane, Chlordecone, Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz), Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), Technical Endosulfan and its related isomers, Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and its salts and esters and Lindane); Industrial chemicals (Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), Hexabromobiphenyl, Hexabromodiphenyl ether and heptabromodiphenyl ether (homologues of commercial octabromodiphenyl ether), Hexachlorobenzene, Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz), Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOS-F), Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), Tetrabromodiphenyl ether and pentabromodiphenyl ether (homologues of commercial pentabromodiphenyl ether)); and unintentionally produced by-product chemicals (Polychlorinated para- dibenzodioxins (PCDD), Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF, Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz) and Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs)). According to Article 7 of the Stockholm Convention, Parties have the obligation of developing, implementing and periodically reviewing and updating a National Implementation Plan on the Stockholm Convention on POPs. Tanzania completed and submitted its first NIP to the Secretariat of the Convention on 12 June, 2006. The updated NIP reviews the existing situation of both initial and new POPs, and elaborates priority actions to be undertaken in the management and control of POPs in the country. The implementation of the initial NIP had a number of achievements including disposal of about 1,000 metric tones of obsolete stockpiles of POP pesticides; reduced use of pesticides through promotion of Integrated Pest NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)iv Management (IPM) and Integrated Vector Management (IVM); training of about 300 staff of regulatory authorities; public awareness campaign reaching out about 15-20 percent of the total population; and increased engagement and involvement of CSOs in training and awareness initiatives. Furthermore, the national chemical regulatory capacity was strengthened through development of regulations and guidelines, control of imports and appointment of Chemical and Environmental Inspectors. However, several challenges remain including inadequate policy and regulatory framework; insufficient national capacity in terms of financial and human resources; lack of facilities for environmentally sound management of POPs; inadequate adoption of best practices and techniques; and low public awareness. In view of these challenges and experience gained over the years, the updated NIP takes into account the aspirations and milestones charted out by national development frameworks particularly the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) of 2010 and the Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025, both of which call for improvement of quality of life and social wellbeing. In addition, it aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) whose 9 out of 17 targets directly or indirectly addresses environmental sustainability. It also promotes synergies in domesticating related Conventions and international processes on chemicals and waste management so as to realize multiple benefits. In this regard, the implementation of the updated NIP will contribute to the national and global efforts of combating poverty and improve environmental quality. In this context, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania (URT) is determined to and shall make every effort to mobilize resources and encourage participation of all stakeholders including private sectors in addressing the challenges posed by POPs. Cognizant of the fact that environment is the common heritage for present and future generations, the Government of the URT welcomes support of local and international stakeholders in our ambition to achieve a POPs-free world.

I am particularly indebted to the National Coordinating Committee (NCC) for their guidance during the NIP review and update process. The members of the NCC were drawn from: Ministry of Agriculture; Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries; Ministry of Energy; Ministry of Minerals; Ministry of Lands, Water, Energy and Environment (Zanzibar); Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources, Livestock and Fisheries (Zanzibar); Ministry of Finance and Planning; Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment; Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elders and Children; Ministry of Works, Transport and Communication; National Environment Management Council (NEMC); Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI); Cleaner Production Centre of Tanzania (CPCT), Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) and AGENDA for Environment and Responsible Development. I am thankful to all Staff from the Vice President’s Office who made it possible. I also wish to acknowledge the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for the financial support on the Enabling Activities to Review and Update the National Implementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention on POPs. We appreciate the roles played by UNIDO as the Implementing Agency, including training on inventory of all listed Persistent Organic Pollutants, which served as the basis for the review and update of the first NIP (2006). We are specifically indebted to Dr. Roland Weber, International Consultant, for his technical guidance throughout the NIP update process. Last but not least, we are thankful to all stakeholders, who cooperated and in one way or the other, contributed to this very important process of developing the updated NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)vi National Implementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).

As one of the obligations of the Convention, Tanzania prepared and submitted its first National Implementation Plan (NIP) in June 2006. Following listing of new controlled chemicals under the Convention between 2009-2015, Parties are required to review and update their initial NIPs to accommodate these developments. In this context, Tanzania received financial and technical support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the project on “Enabling Activities to Review and Update the National Implementation Plan for the implementation of the Stockholm Convention on POPs” to update its initial NIP. Therefore, this document presents an updated NIP that was prepared through a rigorous consultative process that was undertaken from 2014 – 2016. The overall objective of the updated NIP is to assess existing situation and elaborate national commitment and priority interventions to protect human health and environment from risks posed by both initial and new POPs. Objectives and Substantive Provisions of the Stockholm Convention The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) was adopted on 22 May 2001 and entered into force on 17 May 2004. The main objective of the Convention is to take measures for the elimination or restriction or prevention of the production, import, export and use of all manufactured POPs and the continuous reduction to minimize the occurrence of these pollutants in the environment, including the elimination of emissions of unintentionally produced POPs. Currently, the Convention regulates a total of 26 chemicals (pesticides and industrial chemicals) and unintentionally produced chemicals. Overview of the listed Persistent Organic Pollutants The initial list of chemicals controlled under the Convention included 12 chemicals which were popularly referred to as the ‘dirty dozen’. However, during meetings of the Conference of the Parties in 2009, 2011 and 2015, additional 14 new chemicals were included in the list, totaling to 26 controlled chemicals as of now. The list consists of Pesticides (Aldrin, Dieldrin, DDT, Endrin, Chlordane, Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), Mirex, Toxaphene, Heptachlor, Alpha hexachlorocyclohexane, Beta hexachlorocyclohexane, Chlordecone, Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz), Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), Technical Endosulfan and its related NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) xxv isomers, Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and its salts and esters and Lindane); Industrial chemicals (Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), Hexabromobiphenyl, Hexabromodiphenyl ether and heptabromodiphenyl ether (homologues of commercial octabromodiphenyl ether), Hexachlorobenzene, Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz), Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOS-F), Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), Tetrabromodiphenyl ether and pentabromodiphenyl ether (homologues of commercial pentabromodiphenyl ether)); and unintentionally produced by product chemicals (Polychlorinatedpara- dibenzodioxins (PCDD), Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF, Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz) and Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs)). Provisions of the Stockholm Convention Article 3 prohibit and/or eliminate the production and use, as well as the import and export, of the intentionally produced POPs. It also restricts the production and use, as well as the import and export, of the intentionally produced POPs. Article 4 allows for the registration of specific exemptions for the production or use of listed POPs. Article 5 provides for the reduction or elimination of releases from unintentionally produced u-POPs. It promotes the use of best available techniques and best environmental practices for preventing releases of POPs into the environment. Article 6 require Parties to ensure that stockpiles and wastes consisting of, containing or contaminated with POPs are managed safely and in an environmentally sound manner. The Convention requires that such stockpiles and wastes be identified and managed to reduce or eliminate POPs releases from these sources. The Convention also requires that wastes containing POPs are transported across international boundaries taking into account relevant international rules, standards and guidelines. Article 7 require Parties to develop and regularly review and update implementation plans. Article 8 provides for detailed procedures for the listing of new POPs. Other provisions of the Convention relate to the: information exchange (Article 9), public information, awareness and education (Article 10), research, development and monitoring (Article 11), technical assistance (Article 12), financial resources and mechanisms (Article 13), reporting (Article 15), effectiveness evaluation (Article 16) and non-compliance (Article 17). NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)xxvi NIP Development Process As in the first NIP, revision and updating of Tanzania’s NIP has been coordinated by the Division of Environment under the Vice President’s Office in close collaboration with key stakeholders including government institutions, agencies, private sectors, academic and research institutions, NGOs, and Media. The process of updating the NIP (2006) involved four main phases: i) Establishment of a coordination mechanism and process organization; ii) Establishment of POPs inventory and national infrastructure capacity; iii) Priority assessment and objective setting; and iv) Formulation of the NIP and its endorsement. During inventory of initial and new POPs, stakeholders had an opportunity to provide baseline information through questionnaire and targeted visits. Throughout the process, stakeholders played a key role of reviewing project reports through workshops. Four national stakeholders’ workshops were organized namely, the launching of the Project, review of the inventory reports, validation of POPs priorities and review of the NIP. The workshops drew participants from government departments and agencies, academic and research institutions, private sector, NGOs and media. Stakeholder endorsement of the NIP involved: - getting stakeholders reaction on the Draft NIP indicating their acceptance and giving comments to improve the NIP document through desk reviews and national workshops; updating the NIP document to incorporate stakeholders’ views; getting approval of the Project Steering Committee and the higher authorities in the Vice President’s Office. Current POPs management in Tanzania The major sources of POPs in Tanzanian environment include obsolete stocks of POPs pesticides that were originally intended for plant protection and for control of malaria vector (mosquitoes); both regulated and illegally imported pesticides; PCBs containing oils used in electrical equipment (transformers, capacitors, oil circuit breakers, switchgears and reactors). Other sources of POPs particularly uPOPs include medical waste incineration; uncontrolled burning of Municipal wastes; and industrial processes such as mineral processing, power generation and heating. Major sources of PBDEs are transport sector and electrical and electronic equipment wastes. The major sources of PFOS include metal plating; paper and leather industries and fire fighting foams. The survey conducted in the period 2014/15 shows that: NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) xxvii a) A total of 1,040 metric tonnes of obsolete pesticides and associated waste from 135 sites in the country included heavily contaminated soil which were shipped for disposal in dedicated destruction facilities in the United Kingdom and Poland. No new stockpiles of POPs pesticides except at Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms where about ten drums of DDT (mixture with endosulfan) are still buried; b) New listed POPs pesticides, which include chlordecone, alpha hexachlorocyclohexane, beta hexachlorocyclohexane, pentachlorobenzene and lindane, were not found; c) About 31 kg of Endosulfan was found in some shops in Zanzibar; d) There are about 149 MT of oils suspected to contain PCBs in 119 electrical equipment. Out of these, 22 transformers; 25 oil circuit breakers containing 12 tonnes of oil were out of use e) Products and articles containing POP-PBDEs are present in Tanzania in plastics from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and related waste (WEEE) estimated to 107 tonnes c-OctaBDE with listed hexa-BDE of 11.8 tonnes and hepta-BDE of 46.2 tonnes. f) The PFOS related insecticide Sulfluramid had never been registered for use in Tanzania. No use of PFOS or related substances were identified in metal plating, paper and leather industries. A total of 18 suppliers and professional users of FFF were identified, with whom a total of 57,045 Litres of AFFF were found, most of which had been purchased after 2010. g) Unintentionally produced POPs (u-POPs) i.e. (PCDDs, PCDFs and other u-POPs) are mainly produced from waste incineration (384 g TEQ/annum (71.4%)) followed by open burning with release of 100.8 g TEQ/annum (18.74%) and production of mineral processing release of 48.1 g TEQ/annum (8.1%). Within the incineration category the major emitter is the medical incineration which release about 383.96 (99.99% of waste incineration). National Priorities Based on the inventory findings and the obligation to comply with the requirements of the Stockholm Convention, the identified national priorities for addressing POPs in Tanzania are: i) Strengthening institutional and legal framework relevant to the control and management of POPs as well as chemicals and wastes; ii) Strengthening the capacity in monitoring of POPs in the environment and humans including the identification of sites potentially contaminated with POPs; iii) Minimization of unintentionally produced POPs (u–POPs) emissions from major sources in the country including medical waste incineration, open burning of municipal wastes and mineral processing; NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)xxviii iv) Promoting adoption of environmentally sound technologies and practices including Best Available Techniques (BATs) and Best Environmental Practices (BEPs) on POPs; v) Strengthening capacity for generation, storage, management and dissemination of information on management of POPs in the country; and vi) Enhancing communication, education and public awareness as well as engagement and networking of stakeholders. Updated Targets for Implementation The timeframe for the implementation of the Updated NIP is 8 years (2018-2026). It identifies priority actions in the short, medium and the long-term.

It was adopted at a Conference of Plenipotentiaries on 22 May 2001 in Stockholm, Sweden. The convention entered into force on 17 May 2004, ninety (90) days after submission of the fiftieth instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession in respect of the Convention. The objective of the Convention is to protect human health and the environment from toxic and hazardous POPs. Tanzania became a Party to the Convention in April 2004 and consequently submitted its first NIP in 2006. Article 7 of the Stockholm Convention recquires Parties to the Convention to develop and endeavour to put into practice a National Implementation Plan (NIP) setting out how they will implement their obligations under the Convention. The NIP is intended to achieve the following objectives: i) To demonstrate commitment of the government to the objectives of the Stockholm Convention and achieving compliance with the obligations assumed as a Party to it; ii) To provide a national policy instrument and framework within which POPs issue is to be addressed as part of national policies on chemicals management, environmental protection, public health and sustainable development; iii) To present an information base and associated analysis supporting the development and implementation of effective Action Plans and Strategies to achieve reduction and elimination of POPs with associated improvement of environmental quality and human health; iv) To provide an operational and institutional framework for eligibility for financial assistance that might be provided under the Stockholm Convention’s permanent financial mechanism for actions on POPs; v) To provide basis for monitoring the country’s progress in addressing the POPs issue, and specifically the effectiveness of the actions it had committed to in reducing or eliminating POPs use and release to the environment; NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)2 vi) To facilitate public awareness, education and participation in respect of the POPs issue and overall improvement in environmental and public health protection; vii) To facilitate on-going efforts of dealing with broader environmental issues such as pollution and hazardous wastes control and overall pollutant releases and the development and strengthening of national sustainable development strategies; and viii) To facilitate country’s overall efforts in coordinating national approaches to other chemical related Regional and International Agreements and international processes on chemicals management; specifically, the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade; the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal; the Minamata Convention on Mercury; and the Strategic Action for International Chemicals Management. Since the development of the first NIP in 2006, fourteen new POPs have been added into the Annex of the Convention, henceforth the Tanzania NIP is subject to updating and revision to address the new development. In this NIP the original POPs are addressed as well as the POPs listed at fifth and sixth Conference of Parties (COP). 1.2 What are Persistent Organic Pollutants? POPs are a group of chemicals that are toxic, persist in the environment, bioaccumulate in fatty tissues and biomagnify through the food chain. In addition, POPs have the potential to be transported long distances and deposited far from their place of release, including in pristine environments such as the Arctic and Antarctic. It is believed that, POPs cause an array of adverse health effects, notably death, birth defects among humans and animals, cancer and tumours at multiple sites, neuro behavioural impairment including learning disorders; immune system changes; reproductive deficits of exposed individuals as well as their offspring; and diseases such as endometriosis, increased incidence of diabetes and others (SC, 2001). POPs have been identified as priority chemicals for many years in the United Republic of Tanzania and the international community has called for actions to reduce and eliminate their production, use and release. 1.3 Overview of the listed Persistent Organic Pollutants The Stockholm Convention currently focuses on reducing and eliminating releases NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 3 of 26 POPs which include the initial 12 POPs and 14 additional new POPs. Nine of the initial POPs listed in Annex A and are destined for elimination with specific time-limited exemptions. These include the agricultural chemicals such as aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, mirex, and toxaphene, as well as the industrial chemicals hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). POPs listed in Annex B are subject to restrictions on production and use, but eligible for specific exemptions for acceptable purposes. These include the pesticide DDT. Annex C contains POPs that are unintentionally produced, for example as industrial by products and combustion processes, such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, PCBs, and HCB. The newly listed POPs include chemicals added to the Convention in 2009 and 2011. These include: chlordecone, lindane, alpha hexachlorocyclohexane, betahexachlorocyclohexane, endosulfan, commercial pentabromodiphenyl ether, commercial octabromobiphenyl ether, hexabromobiphenyl, perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts, and perflourooctane sulfonyl flouride (PFOSF), and pentachlorobenzene. Three more POPs were added in 2013 and 2015 which are Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), Hexachlorobutadiene (HBCD), Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and its salts and esters, and Polychlorinated naphthalenes.

PCBs containing oils used in electrical equipment (transformers, capacitors, oil circuit breakers, switchgears and reactors). However, in 2012/13 Tanzania cleaned up a total of 1,040 metric tonnes of obsolete pesticides and associated waste from 135 sites in the country included heavily contaminated soil which were shipped for disposal in dedicated destruction facilities in the United Kingdom and Poland (ASP, 2005). Other stockpiles of POPs pesticides were collected and transported for disposal abroad by the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP). The survey that was carried out in 2014 identified the following: a) No new stockpiles of POPs pesticides except at Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms where about ten drums of DDT (mixture with endosulfan) are still buried; b) New listed POPs pesticides, which include chlordecone, alpha hexachlorocyclohexane, beta hexachlorocyclohexane, pentachlorobenzene and lindane, were not found; c) Endosulfan was found in some shops in Zanzibar; d) There are about 140 MT of PCBs containing oils in various electrical equipment; e) Products and articles containing POP-PBDEs are present in Tanzania in plastics NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 5 from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and related waste (WEEE) and in the transport sector primarily in PUR foam. f) The PFOS related insecticide Sulfluramid had never been registered for use in Tanzania. No use of PFOS or related substances were identified in metal plating, paper and leather industries. A total of 18 suppliers and professional users of FFF were identified, with whom a total of 57,045 Litres of AFFF were found, most of which had been purchased after 2010. g) Unintentionally produced POPs (u-POPs) i.e. (PCDDs, PCDFs and other u-POPs) are mainly produced from waste incineration (384 g TEQ/annum (71.4%)) followed by opening burning with release of 100.8 g TEQ/annum (18.74%) and production of mineral processing release of 48.1 g TEQ/annum (8.1%). Within the incineration category the major emitter is the medical incineration which release about 383.96 (99.99% of waste incineration). 1.5 Provisions of the Stockholm Convention The Stockholm Convention establishes a strong international framework for promoting global action on POPs, which are divided into three groups according to their mechanism of production and level of restriction. Nineteen of the intentionally produced chemicals are subject to a ban on production and use except where there are generic or specific exemptions (aldrin, poly-bromodiphenyl ether (hexa-, hepta-, tetra-, penta-), chlordane, chlordecone, dieldrin, endosulfan, endrin, heptachlor, hexabromobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), alpha and beta hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), lindane (gamma hexachlorocyclohexane), mirex, pentachlorobenzene, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOS-F), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), toxaphene (also known as camphechlor)). In addition, the production and use of DDT is severely restricted. Parties are required to take measures to reduce releases from the unintentional production of dioxins, PCBs, HCB and pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz) with the goal of their continuing minimization and, where feasible, ultimate elimination. The main tool for this is the development of source inventories and release estimates as well as plans for release reductions. The use of Best Available Techniques (BATs) to limit releases of unintentionally produced POPs from the major sources, as categorised in the Convention, is also required. There are special provisions for those Parties with regulatory assessment schemes to both review existing chemicals for POP characteristics and to take regulatory measures to prevent the development, production and marketing of new substances with POP characteristics. The Convention also makes provision for the identification and safe management NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)6 of stockpiles containing or consisting of POPs. Waste containing, consisting of or contaminated with POPs should be disposed of in such a way that the POP content is destroyed or irreversibly transformed. Where this does not represent the environmentally preferable option or where the POP content is low, waste shall be otherwise disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Disposal operations that may lead to the recovery or re-use of POPs are forbidden. The Convention recognises the particular needs of developing countries and specific provisions on technical assistance and financial resources and mechanisms are included in the general obligations. 1.6 Development of the National implementation Plan As in the first NIP, revision and updating of Tanzania’s NIP has been undertaken by the Division of Environment under the Vice President’s Office in close collaboration with the Minister for Agriculture; Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries; Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elders and Children; Government Chemist Laboratory Authority (GCLA); Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources Livestock and Fisheries (Zanzibar); Ministry of Lands, Water, Energy and Environment (Zanzibar); Ministry of Industry,Trade and Investment; National Environment Management Council (NEMC); University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM); Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA)Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO); Zanzibar Electricity Corporation (ZECO); Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI); AGENDA for Environment and Responsible Development (AGENDA); and Cleaner Production Centre of Tanzania (CPCT). The process for updating the NIP involved four main phases: i) Establishment of a coordination mechanism and process organization; ii) Establishment of POPs inventory and national infrastructure capacity; iii) Priority assessment and objective setting; and iv) Formulation of the NIP and its endorsement. The process of updating NIP has involved many stakeholders including those shown in Annex I. During inventory of initial and new POPs, stakeholders had an opportunity to provide baseline information through questionnaire and targeted visits. Throughout the process, stakeholders played a key role of reviewing project reports through workshops. Four national stakeholders’ workshops were organized namely, the launching of the Project, review of the inventory reports, validation of POPs priorities and review of the NIP. The workshops drew participants from government departments and agencies, academic and research institutions, private sector, NGOs and media. Stakeholder endorsement of the NIP involved: - getting stakeholders reaction on NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 7 the Draft NIP indicating their acceptance and giving comments to improve the NIP document through desk reviews and national workshops; updating the NIP document to incorporate stakeholders’ views; getting approval of the Project Steering Committee and the higher authorities in the Vice President’s Office. 1.7 Assistance Received Tanzania being among the developing countries and signatory to the Stockholm Convention received financial support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to assist in the reviewing and updating the NIP. The funding provided was US$ 210,000.00 to cover partial cost for reviewing and updating the NIP and the same amount was provided as cost-sharing by the government institutions and NGOs. The GEF implementing Agency - UNIDO provided technical support to the development of the NIP. Also, UNIDO assisted in the development of the project proposal and provided a Regional Programme Advisor and international technical backstopping.

Out of the total population, 48.7 million are from Tanzania Mainland and 1.4 million from Zanzibar. About 73.7% of the total population live in the rural areas, while 26.3 % live in the urban areas. The country’s economy is agrarian with almost 70% of the population relying on agriculture. In 2016, Tanzania’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) amounted to sh. 103,744,606 million at current market prices (NBS, 2017). With the estimated total population of Tanzania Mainland at 48.6 million people in 2016, based on growth rate of 2.7, the per capita income was TZS 2,131,299 compared to TZS 1,918,897 in 2015, equivalent to an increase of 11.1% in per capita income (NBS 2017).The 2016 shares of Domestic Product by Economic Activity at 2007 Prices were services 52.2%; agriculture, forest and fisheries 22.4%; industry and construction25,4%; (NBS, 2017). Figure 1. presents the percentage shares of GDP by kind of economic activities at 2007 prices. Figure 1: Shares of GDP by economic activities at 2007 prices (Source: NBS, 2016) The GDP grew by 7.0 % in 2016, the same rate as in 2015 (NBS 2016). The growth rate was mainly attributed to increase in industrial manufacturing, transportation and electricity production. of the country, which adversely affected a decrease in Agriculture, Forest and Fisheries 22% Industry and Construction 26% Services 52% NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 9 agricultural production. 2.1.1 Agriculture Sector The economy of Tanzania is mainly based on agriculture, which accounts for 29% of its GDP in 2014, provides 85% of exports, and accounts for 69.9% of the employed workforce. 16.4% of the land is arable, with 2.4% of the land planted with permanent crops. It is also the major source of food supply and raw materials for the industrial sector. Subsistence farming is the most common activity and women are the main stakeholders in most agricultural activities. Maize was the largest food crop (in terms of production) on the Tanzania mainland in 2013 (5.17 million tonnes), followed by cassava (1.94 million tonnes), sweet potatoes (1.88 million tonnes), beans (1.64 million tonnes), bananas (1.31 million tonnes), rice (1.31 million tonnes), and millet (1.04 million tonnes). Sugar was the largest cash crop on the mainland in 2013 (296,679 tonnes), followed by cotton (241,198 tonnes), cashew nuts (126,000 tonnes), tobacco (86,877 tonnes), coffee (48,000 tonnes), sisal (37,368 tonnes), and tea (32,422 tonnes). Beef was the largest meat product on the mainland in 2013 (299,581 tonnes), followed by lamb/mutton (115,652 tonnes), chicken (87,408 tonnes), and pork (50,814 tonnes). Major export crops can be categorized into traditional and non-traditional crops. Traditional export crops include coffee, cotton, sisal, cashew nuts, tobacco, tea, cloves and coconuts. Non-traditional export crops include groundnuts, cowpeas, grapes, copra, cut flowers, fruits and vegetables. 2.1.2 industrial sector Industrial sector employment accounts for about 18% of total wage employment and remains to be the largest single source of urban employment in the country. The sector also facilitates development of other sectors of the economy through supply and demand relationships. The GDP contribution of the manufacturing sector however declined from 8.7% in 1991 to only 5.2% in 2015. Most of the present industries were established in the light of import substitution strategy, whereas production focused in substituting previously imported goods in view of saving the country’s meagre foreign exchange In the past, chemicals were imported into Tanzania according to the demand channelled through the licensing Department of the Bank of Tanzania (BoT). Following liberalization of trade, few chemicals and chemical products require import permits of BoT (these are explosives, combustible preparation, mercury and ammunitions). Imports of pesticides per annum are estimated to be 81,500 metric tonnes, while that of industrial chemicals is 210,250 metric tonnes. Tanzania also imports about 22,200 metric tonnes of consumer chemicals per annum (GCLA CHEMIS Database, 2014). NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)10 2.1.3 Transport Services Tanzania has a road network of 86,472 km, out of which 12,786 km are trunk roads making links between regions and with neighbouring countries, 21,105 km of regional roads linking districts and major cities and 52,581 km of the road network are district roads linking district headquarters and villages. The railway transport system comprises of Tanzania Railways Limited (TRL) and Tanzania and Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) serving 14 of the 26 Regions of Tanzania Mainland. In addition, inland waterways transport services are operated in lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa. Sea transport in Tanzania caters for transportation of passengers and goods mainly between the Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar as well as the rest of the world. The Port of Dar es Salaam is one of the key entry points in Tanzania with an annual handling capacity of about 93% of Tanzania port traffic. Tanzania Mainland has a total of 368 aerodromes, out of which Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) is responsible for the management and development of 59 airports accounting for about 81.5% of air passenger traffic countrywide and 96.7% of all air cargo. 2.1.4 Environmental resources Tanzania is endowed with various environmental resources which have significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the country. These resources, among others, include forests, water bodies, biodiversity, land, wildlife, wetlands, renewable energy sources, natural gas and minerals. 2.1.4.1 Forestry The total forest area in Tanzania is 48 million ha (55% of the total land area), of which 93% of this is woodland and only 7% are classified as coastal forests, mangroves, humid montane forests and plantations. There are more than 20 million ha of the miombo ecosystem, 2 million hectares of montane forests and 115,000 hectares of mangrove forests. Industrial forest plantation in Tanzania covers about 150,000 ha, of which about 90,000 ha is under public ownership and about 60,000 ha is under the private sector. About 33% (28 million ha) of the land area is under legal protection (protected forests and wildlife reserves). The forestry sector accounts for 10% of foreign exchange earnings and over 90% of the fuel used both in rural and urban areas. The major products of the forest sector which are also exported are beeswax, honey, timber and timber products, mushrooms and to a lesser extent wildlife meat and animal trophies. Apart from its contribution of 6% to GDP, this sector provides rural energy, protecting watersheds, conserving soil and the environment. Removal of woody vegetation, trees or shrubs in Tanzania is increasingly becoming a major threat to the environment. The Ministry of Natural Resource and Tourism estimated the deforestation rate to be about 372,000 ha per year (MNRT, 2016). It is NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 11 estimated substantive amount of unintentional production POPs mainly dioxin and furans are due to bush fires and open burning of solid wastes. 2.1.4.2 Freshwater and marine resources Freshwater resources in the country include lakes, rivers, springs, man-made reservoirs, natural ponds and groundwater. Major lakes are Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa, while the minor ones are Rukwa, Manyara, Natron, Eyasi, Jipe and Chala. River systems that exist include Kagera, Ruvuma, Songwe, Rufiji, Malagarasi, Wami, Ruvu, Ruaha, Pangani and Mara. There is a wide range of important and valued marine species, including 150 species of corals, 80,000 species of invertebrates, 1,000 species of fishes, 5 species of marine turtles, 9 species of mangroves and many seabirds. Coral reefs are located along 600 km of the country’s continental shelf, accommodating about 25% of all marine species and 65% of marine fish. 2.1.4.3 Livestock Tanzania is among the top three African countries having the largest livestock population. Other countries are Ethiopia and Sudan. Livestock keeping contributes an average of 7% of the country’s GDP and about 13% of the country’s agricultural produce. Official statistics show that there are 22.8 million cattle, 17.1 million goats and 9.2 million sheep. Other livestock kept in the country include 2.1 million pigs, 35.5 million indigenous poultry and 24.5 million improved chicken and other species.1 About two-fifth of the livestock population is concentrated in Arusha, Shinyanga and Mwanza. The estimated production of livestock products such as meat, milk, and eggs increased between the year 2000/2001 and 2009/2010. Total meat production increased from 323,000 tonnes in 2000/2001 to 449,673 tonnes in 2009/2010, an increase of 39.2%. During the same period, milk production has increased from 814 million to 1.64 billion litres, an increase of 102% while in the same period egg production increased from 600 million to 2.9 billion eggs. During the period 1995 to 2008, annual meat production increased from 244,000 tonnes to 449,673 tonnes (6.5% per annum) while milk increased from 555 million litres to 1.64 billion litres (15.0% per annum), 70% of which was from the traditional sector. During the same period egg production increased from 600 million to 2.9 billion eggs equivalent to 29.5% increase per annum. Per capita consumption of meat and milk increased to 12 kg and 43 litres against the FAO recommended per capita consumption rates of 50 kg and 200 litres respectively. The estimated per capita consumption of milk and eggs increased from 22 litres and 19 in 2000/01 to 43 litres and 75 eggs respectively during the same period while 5.85 million pieces of hides and skins worth TZS 13.5 billion were collected. About 86% of the hides and skins were exported in raw form. These achievements indicate that, with concerted efforts a lot more can be achieved. 1 Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MLAF) Budget Speech, 2014/2015 NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)12 2.1.4.4 Wildlife Tanzania is rich in different species of birds, plants, amphibians and reptiles. It has over 310 animal species and is the fourth in Africa with the highest number of animal species. It also accounts for about 20% of the species of Africa’s large mammal population; endemic species of flora and fauna such as the Sanje Mangabey monkey (Lophocebus kipunji) in Udzungwa Mountains. The country has also over 1,100 species of birds, including nearly 100 species of hawks, eagles, vultures and owls. The biological diversity and degree of endemism consist of primates (20 species; 4 endemic), antelopes (34 species; 2 endemic), reptiles (290 species; 75 endemic), amphibians (40 endemic) and plants (around 11,000 species). The forms of wildlife utilization currently practiced include game viewing, tourist hunting and resident hunting. Hunting is well controlled with an emphasis on conservation, especially the maintenance of an ecological balance between the various species. It is only undertaken through obtaining hunting licences. During 2002, a total of US $ 9.3 million were earned from tourist hunting activities (Presidents Office – Planning Commission (PO-PC), 2003). 2.1.4.5 Natural Gas Natural gas is an important economic resource used to generate electricity, thermal applications in industrial production, commerce and other socio-economic activities in the country. Natural gas reserve in the country is estimated to be over 57 trillion cubic feet. Gas fields have been discovered in Songo Songo, Mnazi Bay, Mkuranga, Kiliwani and Ntorya areas and in the deep sea off the coast of Tanzania and in Ruvu Basin Coast Region. Out of the seven discoveries, only two gas fields, Songo songo and Mnazi bay are under production. The gas is distributed to 37 local industries and institutions in Dar es Salaam City and is also being used to produce 594 MW of electricity representing about 64.8% of the total power supply in the country (TANESCO, 2015). 2.1.4.6 Minerals Tanzania is endowed with mineral deposits of high economic potential (see Tanzania Geological Map). The minerals found in Tanzania include metallic minerals such as gold, iron, silver, copper, platinum, nickel and tin; gemstones such as diamonds, tanzanite, ruby, garnet, emerald, alexandrite and sapphire; industrial minerals such as kaolin, phosphate, lime, gypsum, diatomite, bentonite, vermiculite, salt and beach sand; building materials such as stone aggregates and sand; and energy minerals such as coal and uranium.Tanzania produces about 40 tonnes of gold and more than 600,000 carats of Tanzanite per year. It has a reserve of over 1.5 billion tonnes of coal, 45 million tonnes of iron ore and about 11 million tonnes of uranium.2 2 https://mem.go.tz/mineral-sector NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 13 2.1.4.7 Renewable energy sources Tanzania is endowed with diverse renewable energy resources, ranging from biomass and hydropower to geothermal, solar and wind. Much of this potential has not been fully exploited. If properly utilised, such renewable resources would contribute significantly to Tanzania’s energy supply, thus moving the country closer to achieving middle-income status, as envisioned in the Tanzania National Development Vision 2026. Biogas which has a potential of 165,000 households/installations in a 10-year time frame; and geothermal with an estimated potential of 650 MW. Other sources include wind where more than 120 windmills have been installed (equivalent to about 10 kWe); and solar whose potential for national power grid connection in the year 2026 is about 800 MW (African Development Bank, 2015). 2.1.4.8 Land Tanzania possesses about 94,508,700 ha of territorial area, out of which nearly 89 million ha is dry land and the remaining is covered by water. About 44 million ha are classified as suitable for agricultural production, out of which about 24% is under cultivation. Land under medium and large-scale farming is 1.5 million ha while about 8.6 million ha is under smallholder farmers. It has been estimated that 61% of the total land area in Tanzania is degraded particularly in arid and semiarid areas including Dodoma, Shinyanga, Manyara, Singida, Simiyu, Geita and Kilimanjaro Regions (URT, 1999; URT, 2014b). Land degradation is attributed by insecure land tenure; over stocking and inappropriate cultivation techniques. Bush fires and burning of agricultural wastes and biomass contribute to the emissions of PCDD/PCDF and other unintentional POPs emissions. 2.1.4.9 Helium Gas Tanzania has a reserve of about 1.5 billion m3 (approximately 54 billion cubic feet) of helium gas which is one of the world’s biggest helium gas fields. The gas field contains over six times the world’s current supply of the element. 2.2 iNSTiTuTiONAL, POLiCY AND REGuLATORY FRAMEWORK 2.2.1 Policies related to POPs management There are various sectoral policies that are related to POPs management in both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. These include National Environmental Policy (1997); Zanzibar Environmental Policy (2013); National Agriculture Policy (2013); Livestock Policy (2006); National Health Policy (2007); Sustainable Industrial Development Policy (1996 -2020); National Irrigation Policy (2010); National Energy Policy (2015); National Forestry Policy (2002); National Human Settlements Development Policy (2000) and National Land Policy (1995). Most of these policies NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)14 among others, address issues related to sustainability, security, and equitable use of resources so as to meet the basic needs of the present population without degrading the environment or risking health or safety. However none of them directly address the POPs issues. a) National Environmental Policy (1997) and Zanzibar Environmental Policy (2013) The National Environmental Policy of Tanzania Mainland (1997) (under review) provides overall guidance to sectoral policies on environmental management aspects in order to achieve sustainable development. Various sectoral policies are being reviewed to take into account the objectives of the national environmental policy. The overall objective of Zanzibar Environmental Policy (2013) is to pave the way for the protection, conservation, restoration and management of Zanzibar’s environmental resources, such that their capacity to sustain development and maintain the rich environmental endowment for the present and future generations is not impaired. The Policy advocates the need for strengthening environmental governance and intra and inter-sectoral coordination for effective environmental practices and law enforcement. The policies advocate issues of environmentally sound management of chemicals. However, they do not have specific reference to POPs. There is a need also for the policies to guide on the sustainable production and consumption patterns and sustainable development goals (SDGs). b) The National Agriculture Policy 2013 and Zanzibar Agricultural Sector Policy (2000) The National Agriculture Policy (2013) aims, among others, to ensure agricultural practices that sustain the environment are promoted; and ensure production of quality products in order to improve competitiveness of agricultural products in the markets enhanced. The Policy recognizes that agriculture depends on environmental resources such as land, water, forest, air etc. The dynamic and complex interrelationship, which exists in the natural systems, may be affected due to poor land use practices, deforestation, overgrazing and poor crop management and cropping systems. This calls for cautious and judicious use of natural resources. The Policy emphasizes on sustainable agricultural practices such as Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and organic farming. The overall goal of the Zanzibar Agricultural Sector Policy (2000) is to promote sustainable development of the agricultural sector for economic, social and NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 15 environmental benefits. The Policy recognizes that environmental degradation is an issue of major concern in agricultural development attributed to lack of public awareness on the preservation and conservation of environment and natural resources. Other attributed factors include the rate of population growth and density; and use of dangerous agro-chemicals and pesticides in agricultural activities. Moreover, other environmental issues highlighted in the policy include: sustainable fishing practices; control of destructive fishing gear; sustainable utilization of offshore resources; increasing environmental conservation awareness among fishermen and integrated coastal zone management. c) The Livestock Policy 2006 The relevant objectives of the Policy are to ensure the environment is conserved for sustainable livestock production; and improve range management and utilization in order to support sustainable productivity of livestock and improvement of pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihood. In addition, the Policy aims to: i) Strengthen technical support services on environmental issues; ii) Promote proper land use planning for livestock production; iii) Strengthen inter-sectoral coordination on environmental issues; iv) Promote inventorisation, identification, protection, management and use of rangeland resources; and v) Strengthen technical support services on rangeland management. This Policy has initiated steps for control emissions from uncontrolled bushfires, which are meant for generation of pastures for grazing livestock, as it causes environmental pollution including emission of PCDD/PCDFs though not directly stated. In addition to this focus, the policy may be reviewed to include identification and assessment to ensure that POPs and other contaminated sites are not used as rangeland. d) National Irrigation Policy (2010) The policy advocates to: i) have irrigation systems which are economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally sustainable, ii) ensure that environmental issues are addressed in all irrigation interventions in accordance with Environmental Management Act (EMA) 2004; iii) promote the use of treated waste water, recycled irrigation tail water and low quality water for irrigation, provided that relevant authorities certifies to have no effects on human, crops, livestock and ecosystem; iv) establish mechanism for pollution control in irrigated agriculture NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)16 The policy recognize the incorporation of environmental issues to reduce hazards especially health problems, pollution, etc. Though there is no direct link with old and new listed POPs, but because POPs are among pollutant material will be considered in the implementation of this policy. e) The Sustainable Industrial Development Policy (SIDP) 1996-2020 The SIDP gives a framework of broad guidelines on factors, which influence the direction of the country’s industrialization process for a period of 25 years. The national goals, towards which the industrial sector will be geared, include human development and creation of employment opportunities, economic transformation for achieving sustainable growth, external balance of payments, environmental sustainability and equitable development. Under the section on “sound environmental management” the policy framework states that, In order to ensure promotion of environmentally friendly and ecologically sustainable industrial development, the following will be implemented: i) The government will carry out sensitisation on environmental awareness in its broader application; ii) The government will forge deliberate and mandatory devices to reactivate legal mechanisms to enable involved institutions to be more effective in matters of environmental management; iii) An appropriate motivational mechanism will be provided within the Investment Promotion Act geared to cater for promotion of investments which contain anti-pollution programmes; iv) Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and appropriate mitigation measures will be enforced for all projects at implementation stage; and v) The government will promote the continuous application, of an integrated preventive environmental strategy to industrial processes, products and services which will include propagating efficient use of raw materials and energy, elimination of toxic or dangerous materials, as well as reduction of emissions and wastes at source. In this regard, the government will continual to develop the capacity within its institutional machinery and support other initiatives designed to enhance application of cleaner production concept as an important complement to end-of-pipe pollution control… “ Therefore the policy promotes the reduction and eventual elimination and/or discharges/emissions of toxic chemicals without specific reference to POPs released from industrial processes, carcinogenic, mutagenic or endocrine disrupting chemicals. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 17 f) The Energy Policy (2003) The objectives of the Policy are to ensure availability of reliable and affordable energy supplies and their use in a rational and sustainable manner in order to support national development goals. The national energy policy, therefore, aims to establish an efficient energy production, procurement, transportation, distribution and end use systems in an environmentally sound and sustainable manner. The policy covers electricity, petroleum, natural gas, renewable energy and coal. In relation to environment, health and safety, the Policy aims to: i) Promote environmental impact assessment as a requirement for all energy programmes and projects. ii) Promote energy efficiency and conservation as a means towards cleaner production and pollution control measures. iii) Promote development of alternative energy sources including renewable energies and wood-fuel end-use efficient technologies to protect woodlands. iv) Promote disaster prevention, response plans, and introduce standards for exploration, production, conversion, transportation, distribution, storage, and fuel end-use. g) National Health Policy (2007) and Zanzibar Health Policy (2011) The main objectives of the National Health Policy (2007) is to improve the health and well being of all Tanzanians, with a focus on those most at risk, and encourage the health system to be more responsive to the needs of the people and, thus increase the life expectancy. Some of the relevant specific objectives include: i) Strengthening disposal and safe destruction systems of medical waste; ii) Formulating and review laws, regulations, guidelines, procedures and systems for control of food, medicines, cosmetics, chemicals, equipment, medical equipment and reagents; and iii) Strengthening monitoring and research into negative effects of food and medicine, cosmetics, chemicals and reagents. The main objective of the Zanzibar Health Policy (2011) is to improve health services and social welfare of the people of Zanzibar. It aims to address a number of challenges including inappropriate handling of chemicals along their lifecycle; lack of formal management scheme for e-waste; inadequate management of healthcare waste; inadequate coverage of toilet facilities; environmental pollution; and inadequate provision of social services to the increasing population. h) National Forestry Policy (1998) and Zanzibar Forest Policy (1996) The objectives of the National Forest Policy (1998), among others, include to ensure NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)18 ecosystem stability through conservation of forest biodiversity, water catchments and soil fertility; and enhance national capacity to manage and develop the forest sector in collaboration with other stakeholders. Among the environmental concerns mentioned in the policy are repeated wildfires and illicit felling of trees, which contribute to loss of biodiversity. In order to address this problem, the policy states that biodiversity conservation and management will be included in the management plans for all protected forests. Involvement of local communities and other stakeholders in conservation and management will be encouraged through joint management agreements. The policy indirectly addresses emissions of dioxins and furans as it emphasizes the control of wildfire which is the main contributor in emitting these toxic gases. The overall objective of the Zanzibar Forest Policy (1996) is to protect and conserve forest resources including wildlife, flora and fauna and enhances the role of forest resources in maintaining soil and water conservation. The Policy also puts emphasis on the conservation and development of the forest resources for present and future generations, and on the need for comprehensive and perpetual tree planting as well as public education. i) National Human Settlements Development Policy (2000) The objectives of the Policy are to improve the level of the provision of infrastructure and social services for sustainable human settlements development; and promote the environment of human settlement out of ecosystems from pollution, degradation and destruction in order to attain sustainable development. The Policy recognizes the issue of management of all forms of wastes. It also notes the problem of environmental degradation and pollution caused by use of fuel-wood and charcoal as the main sources of energy in human settlements. The Policy emphasizes on the need to ensure that human settlements are kept clean and that pollution effects of solid and liquid wastes do not endanger the health of residents; set environmental quality standards of emissions from industries, vehicles etc; and institute a mechanism for monitoring air pollution levels; and encourage the use of alternative, affordable and appropriate sources of energy. j) Zanzibar Water Policy (2004) The Policy recognizes the importance of environmental consideration in the development and implementation of water resources and sanitation management in the country. It clearly states that the development of water and sanitation programmes should be done in a way that is not harmful to the environment and that the utilization of water by one generation should not in any way adversely affect the NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 19 prospect of utilization by subsequent generations. The Policy pays special attention to the application of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in water related projects; environmental monitoring and control; water security; water pollution; soil degradation; depletion of water resources; drinking water quality; waste disposal; hygiene; drainage and sanitation as requisite issues towards provisions and supply of potable water. 2.2.2 Regulatory framework Existing Legislation related to POPs Management including the control of pollution arising from POPs are as follows: a) The Environmental Management Act No. 20 of 2004 and Zanzibar Environmental Management Act, 2015 The Environmental Management Act (EMA), 2004 provides for legal and institutional framework for sustainable management of environment in implementation of the National Environment Policy. The Act empowers the Minister responsible for Environment to prepare regulations for management of POPs. Regulations for management of general hazardous waste were prepared in 2009, however these regulations do not specifically address management of POPs. Each sector Ministry is required to take measures to reduce the total release derived from anthropogenic sources of unintentionally produced POPs. The Act furthermore tasks all relevant sector Ministries and Local Government Authorities to mainstream respective parts of the NIP into their policies, legislation, plans and programmes and submit annual reports to the Minister on progress made in implementation of the NIP. The Zanzibar Environmental Management Act (2015) provides for the conservation, protection, enforcement and management of environment of Zanzibar and matters connected therewith and incidental thereto. Based on the section 57(1) of the Zanzibar Environmental Management Act, 2015, is “A person shall not handle or discharge or cause to be handled or discharged any hazardous substance except in accordance with Regulations made under this Act”. However, the Acts does not address specific the issues of POPs. b) The Plant Protection Act No 13 of 1997 This legislation domesticated some important aspects of some of the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (of which Tanzania is a Party) responsible for human health and environmental protection. Sections 16(k) and 42(g) of this Act provide for Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure on the importation, exportation and use of plant protection substances according to the framework of the International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management. Section 17 (2f) provides for disposal/ NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)20 neutralization of plant protection wastes/substances including pesticides. It spells out that the applicant for registration of a plant protection substance is required to give details of procedures for its proper disposal and neutralization to ensure safety of both human health and the environment. Regulation 37(1) spells out that unwanted pesticides and empty pesticides containers shall be disposed of after authorization has been given by the National Plant Protection Advisory Committee (NPPAC) and section 37 (2) stresses that the NPPAC shall recommend the method of disposal. Section 38 (a-b) emphasizes on the procurement of quantities according to requirements to minimize possibilities, which will compel to disposal of unwanted quantities of pesticides. The Act was scheduled for revision since 2011/2012; currently the new law has reached at Cabinet Paper preparation stage. c) Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act No 3 of 2003 The Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act (ICCA) of 2003 provides for the management and control of the production, import, transport, export, storage, dealing and disposal of industrial and consumer chemicals in the country. The provisions include articles on registration, restrictions, prohibition and inspection. Articles included in the provisions for management of industrial and consumer chemicals are safe handling, chemical wastes, accidents; management of spills and contaminated sites and decommissioning of plants. The Act also provides for the registrar of chemicals to evaluate any incoming application of a new chemical for analysis registration, re-registration and cancellation of any existing registered product. The Act gives a provision for establishment of the Chemicals Management and Control Board, which is responsible for the management, and control of all industrial and consumer chemicals in Tanzania. Under Section 30 (1-e), the Act underscores that “ subject to action according to an international convention or treaty ratified by the United Republic of Tanzania, the Board shall restrict, severely restrict, ban or phase out the use and handling of chemicals specified under the 8th Schedule of the Act. PCBs have been included in the list of severely restricted/banned/ eliminated chemicals in the Eighth Schedule to the Act. Section 46 (1-12) provides for management of spills and contaminated sites. The Act has not been revised to capture management of new POPs, specifically provisions covering chemicals in articles and products. d) The Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 5 of 2003 and Zanzibar Occupational Safety and Health act No.8 of 2005 NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 21 The Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 5 of 2003 deals with health and welfare of persons at work in factories and other places of work; provides for protection of persons other than persons at work against hazards to health and safety arising out of or in connection with activities of persons at work. Other provisions of the Act include: - registration procedure for factories and workplaces; safety regarding construction and maintenance of machinery; prevention of fire; precaution with dangerous/hazardous materials; general precaution in handling of chemical substances; and offences and penalties. The Act deals with chemicals in general terms, but there is no specific reference to POPs. The Zanzibar Occupational Safety and Health act No.8 of 2005 provides for the safety, health and welfare of persons at workplaces and to protect other persons against hazards to safety and health arising out of or in connection with activities at workplaces. The Act deals with chemicals in general terms, but lacks specific reference to POPs. e) The Zanzibar Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act No. 2 of 2006 The Act provides for the efficient and comprehensive regulation and control of food, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, herbal drugs and poisons. It also establishes the Zanzibar Food and Drugs Board whose function is to regulate all matters relating to quality, safety of food, drugs, herbal drugs, medical devices, poisons and cosmetics. f) The Zanzibar Public and Environmental Health Act no, 11 of 2012 The Act provides for the protection and management of public and environmental health risks and related matters. 2.2.3 institutional framework The Vice President’s Office (VPO) is the National Focal Point of the Stockholm Convention. It has the overall mandate to oversee the implementation of the Convention. The National POPs Coordinating Committee has been established at the VPO to oversee the NIP project implementation to ensure high-level technical output. Other institutions playing specific sectoral roles are as indicated in Table 2. Some of these institutions have established coordination mechanism as required by the Rotterdam Convention and the Plant Protection Act. The arrangement is that there is coordination committee formed at the policy and technical levels to advice the Ministries of Health and Agriculture. In the case of industrial chemicals, the Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act 2003, NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)22 establishes a Technical Committee and an Emergency Response Committee which advise the Board, establishing also the functions and powers of the Committees. There is also limited information regarding the adverse effects of old and new listed POPs. This calls for support to build the capacity in terms of manpower, equipment, infrastructure for monitoring, research, training and adequate financial resources to manage and control POPs. This is evident for instance, in the area of occupational health, where there are very few occupational health centers and therefore a serious deficit of specialized doctors in occupational health. At present there are less than ten doctors countrywide. Moreover, institutions for research and training on POPs issues exist. Capacity to conduct training exist though need strengthening. There is also some capacity to initiate and develop scientific research in impacts of POPs and for search and promotion of viable alternatives to POPs. Such institutions include TPRI, GCLA, NIMR, SUA, University of Dar es Salaam, MUHAS, TBS, Forestry Research Institutes, and Institute of Marine Science, Cleaner Production Centre of Tanzania, Agricultural research institutes and livestock research institutes. Also there are a number of NGOs and civil society organizations with capacity on POPs including AGENDA, EVIROCARE, TAPOHE, LEAT, JET, IRTECO, CREFT, ANCAP and TPAWU. The institutional capacities in terms of infrastructure and equipment for monitoring, research and training are inadequate while personnel to carter for these needs require specialized training. The National Profile to Assess Chemicals Management Infrastructure in Tanzania The National Profile to Assess Chemicals Management Infrastructure in Tanzania was developed in 1997. It was reviewed in 1999 and 2002. The profile has no specific mention of POPs (both old and new) and needs to be reviewed, where also developments under SAICM and the necessary infrastructure to support implementation of The Rotterdam Convention will be captured.

Findings reveal that the initial POPs pesticides which were registered and used as insecticides in the Tanzania Mainland were Aldrin, Dieldrin, Heptachlor, DDT and Toxaphene. It was also found that Hexachlorobenzene as fungicide and Mirex, Chlordane and Endrin as insecticides; Alpha and Beta Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), Pentachlorobenzene, Chlordecone and Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid (PFOS) related pesticide have never been registered in Tanzania Mainland. However technical HCH contains 60-70% Alpha and Beta (HCH) and 5-12% HCHwhich could be a source of HCH isomers. In addition, the use of Aldrin, Dieldrin, Heptachlor and Toxaphene in the past resulted into accumulation of stockpiles. It was further learnt that in 2013 about 1,000 tonnes of obsolete stockpiles were repackaged and safely disposed of abroad through the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP) leaving behind 14 contaminated sites countrywide in the areas where they were stored. Also, about ten (10) drums of obsolete stockpiles were identified at Murbadaw in Hanang (Manyara Region) wheat farms. These are suspected to be a mixture of Endosulfan and DDT. The new POPs pesticides which were registered, imported and used in the URT were Lindane and Endosulfan. POP Pesticides have been cancelled from the current list of registered pesticides for use in Tanzania. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 25 2.3.1.2 Introduction The environmental and health hazards caused by POP pesticides are of worldwide concern. The hazards caused are due to their distinct properties, which include non-biodegradability, low solubility in water and high solubility in body fats causing the bioaccumulation. Wildlife and human being at high level in the food chain are at higher risks due to biomagnifications tendency of POPs. The initial list of POP pesticides covers Aldrin, Chlordane, Dieldrin, Endrin, Heptachlor, Hexachlorobenzene, Mirex, and Toxaphene whereas, new list includes Lindane and Alpha and Beta Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), Endosulfan, Pentachlorobenzene, Chlordecone, and the Perfluoro-Octane Sulfonic Acid (PFOS) related pesticide sulfluramide. 2.3.1.3 Methodology A countrywide inventory was carried out from September - November, 2014 to assess presence in the market, stockpiles and contaminated materials of the initial and new listed POPs pesticides. The inventory aimed at gathering pertinent information for updating the first NIP, for Stockholm Convention developed in the URT in 2005. Due to limited financial resources, specifically selected representative regions were visited during an inventory of the initial and new POPs pesticides. The selected regions included Mbeya, Morogoro, Dar es Salaam, Coast, Mwanza, Shinyanga, Tabora, Singida, Arusha, Manyara and Tanga. The criteria used to identify regions and sites to be visited included: Intensive agricultural activities (anticipating of using large volumes of pesticides and hence, likelihood of existence of POPs pesticides); Large cities (presence of pesticides formulating plants, pesticides importers, pesticides sellers and existence of characteristic features of having high concentration of institutions/ministries responsible for the control and management of pesticides); Reports of the previous inventories of obsolete pesticides and major entry points for importation. Furthermore, those institutions and offices involved in the cycles of POP pesticides’ use, control and management were consulted. Various methods were used in the course of conducting the inventory including review of previous reports, physical visits to stores, shops, and data were also collected from dealers and entry points through checklists. 2.3.1.4 Findings a) Existing Policy and Regulatory Framework Pesticides in the Tanzania Mainland are regulated by the Plant Protection Act Number 5 of 1997 and being implemented by the Plant Protection Regulations of 1999 made under Section 42 (1) of the Act. The Plant Protection Act, 1997 and Plant Protection Regulations, 1999 came into force from 1st July, 2001. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)26 Part III of Plant Protection Act, 1997 and Part II of the Plant Protection Regulations, 1999 provide requirements of regulating the entire life-cycle of pesticides, which includes manufacture/formulation, importation, registration, imports, sale and distribution, use, transportation and disposal. The power to implement the legislation has been vested to the Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI) and the Plant Health Services (PHS) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. POPs pesticides also are partly regulated by the Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act No. 3 of 2003. Further the Environmental Management Act (EMA) of 2004 offers an umbrella regulation on environmental protection and management. The EMA of 2004 provides a legal and institutional framework for sustainable management of the environment and outlines principles for among others; management. The Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act and the EMA both prescribe specific requirements for the management and remediation of contaminated sites. The Acts provides for the responsible Minister to promote economic instruments (incentives and financial measures such as subsidies, taxes, grants, etc.) for environmental management activities but also promulgate the principle of polluter pays: which requires any person causing adverse effects to the environment to pay in full social and environmental costs of avoiding, mitigating and or remedying those adverse effects. b) Current and Projected Future Production, Use, Import, and Export of POPs pesticides There are no present and projected future plans for the production, importation and use of old and new POPs pesticides such as Aldrin, Dieldrin, Heptachlor Hexachlorobenzene, Mirex, Chlordane and Toxaphene in the Tanzania Mainland. The new POPs pesticides which were registered, imported and used in the URT were Lindane and Endosulfan. Lindane was used for the control of termites in the construction industries and endosulfan was used for the control of chewing and sucking insect pests in various crops. Alpha and Beta Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), Pentachlorobenzene, Chlordecone and the Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid (PFOS) related pesticide Sulfaramide have never been registered or used in the Tanzania Mainland. At the 24th Pesticides Approval and Registration Technical Sub Committee (PARTS) meeting held on 2nd to 6th December 2014 lindane and endosulfan were officially NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 27 deregistered. The deregistration decision considered a phasing out period up to end of year 2014 to avoid accumulation of stockpiles. c) Import and Export of POP Pesticides Tanzania used to import POP pesticides from different countries for various uses. Huge amounts of POP pesticides were imported above actual needs due to poor documentation system. The magnitude of the problem can be estimated retrospectively through presence of obsolete stockpile. Tanzania imported 113,000 litres of Dieldrin in 1989, 50 kg of Aldrin/Dichlorvos, 5000 litres of Dieldrin in 1991/92, and 159,797 litres of Methidathion/DDT in 1991/92. The amounts were used to fight pests in maize, tobacco, cotton crops and in the control of termites. In addition, Registrant of lindane has taken initiatives to inform the Registrar of Pesticides on stopping further importation of the product following ban of production of the product by the manufacturer based in India. However, there is no prospect for the importation of POP pesticides at present and in the near future as POP pesticides have been cancelled from the current list of registered pesticides in the country. d) Identified Stockpiles of POP Pesticides and POP Pesticides Waste There were no stockpiles of the new and initial POPs pesticides found in the surveyed regions except at Murbadaw in Hanang (Manyara) wheat farms where about ten (10) drums suspected to be a mixture of Endosulfan and DDT are still buried. e) Summary of available Monitoring Data (Environment, Food, Humans) And Health Impacts i) Human Health Monitoring Biological monitoring is being conducted in the large scale farms based on market compliance requirements in the Northern zone of Tanzania in Arusha and Kilimanjaro Regions. Surveillance mainly involved monitoring of organophosphate (OP), and carbamate (CA) pesticide exposures (not listed as POPs) through Testmate OP Kit in the field. The three years results of Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) levels testing (indicating OP exposures) among sprayers in large scale farms of horticulture and coffee plantations in Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions were as shown in the Table 3. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)28 Table 3: Results of AChE Testing (OP exposures) among sprayers in large scale farms Period Total Population Tested Population With Acute Pesticides Poisoning Percentage (%) of Exposure January-December, 2010 268 71 26.5% January-December, 2011 380 73 19.2% January-December, 2012 383 108 28.2% Source: TPRI, Arusha ii) Environmental Monitoring Some environmental monitoring data on POPs releases are collected for purposes of monitoring levels of environmental contamination by individual researchers and institutions. Others are being carried out through targeted projects such as the Tengeru and Morogoro POPs contaminated sites carried out by UNIDO/TPRI project. f) POP Pesticides Contaminated Sites There remained enormous POPs pesticides contaminated sites after the ASP project. ASP was aimed at identification, collection, clean up and eventual disposal of obsolete stocks of pesticides including POPs in the United Republic of Tanzania. During the implementation of the project (2005-2013), 600 tonnes highly contaminated soils were identified in 14 sites but could not be cleaned and disposed of due to limited resources. These were ranked into two groups as follows: Highly contaminated sites (Vikuge at Kibaha; Morogoro National Housing Cooperation (NHC) close to Railway station; PHS Tengeru in Arusha and Murbadaw wheat farms in Hanang) and Moderately/ Low contaminated sites (ACU-Arusha; TACRI Mbimba-Mbeya; Akeri garden-Arusha; Kyela valley food-Mbeya; Korogwe-Tanga; MBOCU-Mbozi; Geita Katundu; Geita Mwatoroli; Mbarali Rice Farm-Mbeya; and KATC-Moshi). 2.3.1.5 Conclusion Ten drums (totalling to approximately 2 tons) which are suspected to be a mixture of Endosulfan and DDT buried at Murbadaw in Hanang (Manyara) wheat farms need to be excavated and be safely disposed off. Further technical and financial support is needed for the decontamination of the identified fourteen (14) highly POPs contaminated sites in the country. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 29 2.3.2 ASSESSMENT OF PCbs (ANNEX A, PART ii CHEMiCALS). 2.3.2.1 Summary A PCB survey was conducted in 2014 covering 51 sites in 6 regions: Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Mbeya, Arusha, Mwanza and Shinyanga, to update the 2003 and 2004 PCB surveys.The survey focused on power stations, storage sites, industries, water treatment plants and public service centers. The survey revealed that most of the formerly identified PCB equipment (>500 ppm) are still in place, however serious leakages needing urgent management measures were found at one site in Tanga. Many of the old equipment belonging to TANESCO and some stakeholders had been removed, and approximately 60% of the labels from the past inventories were not in place. There was also no comprehensive monitoring data for follow up. Where available, the data and labels still in place facilitated distinguishing equipment to be considered non- PCB. In general, there was no comprehensive information to facilitate identification of equipment with PCBs for Environmentally sound management. In this survey,184 equipment were identified, among which 119 pieces contained 146 tonnes of oil potentially with PCBs. The out of use equipment which is potentially PCB contaminated waste weighed 56 tonnes and had 12 tonnes of oil. Follow up at 7 of the initially identified 14 potentially contaminated sites revealed that the equipment had been removed and replaced by new equipment. Since development of the first NIP, various training sessions were conducted for TANESCO personnel. The Industrial and Consumer Chemicals Act which has provisions governing management of chemicals and disposal of chemical wastes came into force in 2004. A poison centre has also been established at the GCLA, to provide a hazard information database that is accessible by occupational health centres, emergency responders and other stakeholders requiring information for chemical safety. Awareness of most stakeholders was found to be low, while PCB waste management and disposal facilities have not been established. 2.3.2.2 Introduction Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of synthetic organic chemicals that consist of 209 individual chlorinated biphenyl compounds (congeners) with varying harmful effects. PCBs have a wide variety of uses, including closed/semi-closed applications (in particular transformers, condensers and hydraulic oil) and open applications (e.g. paints, sealants, cutting oil). PCBs were listed among chemicals for which action is taken within the scope of the Stockholm Convention (SC) on Persistent Organic Pollutants (2001), to which Tanzania is Party. The Convention currently has focused mainly on closed PCB applications (transformers and condensers) but open PCBs applications (e.g. paints, sealants, cutting oil) and unintentional formed PCBs are also covered in the frame of the Convention. The Convention addresses aspects of production, use, import, NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)30 export, release of by-products, stockpile management and disposal of an initial list of 12 POPs, which included PCBs. The POPs list has since been extended to include 14 new listed chemicals, the main objective of which is to protect human health and the environment. 2.3.2.3 Methodology a) Identification of PCBs Containing Units To identify units that might contain PCBs oil, information on the unit’s nameplate was used, combined with information from the previous surveys carried out in 2003 and 2004. This sometimes included the name of the oil itself. Where there was no name or declaration of PCBs content, the oil density was calculated to establish status. Oil of density greater than 1000 kg/m3 was considered to contain PCBs oil, because PCBs oils are heavier than water. However this test can only describe PCBs oil but not PCBs contaminated oil and is not an appropriate test to discover PCBs contaminated oil. The year 1986 was cut off of manufacture and thus all units manufactured in 1986 or earlier were considered to contain PCBs oil. b) Inventory update, 2014 The inventory of 2014 was mainly intended for updating the National Implementation Plan (2005), which was based on 2 PCBs surveys, in which PCB and potentially PCBs containing equipment were identified followed by kit testing for 234 samples of oil, and laboratory analysis for 64 samples of oil and 7 samples of soil. The UNEP guidelines on inventory of PCBs, reports and records from the past surveys were used, coupled with field observations. 2.3.2.4 Findings a) Amount of oil suspected to contain PCBs In the survey in 2014 efforts were mainly made to follow up and to survey equipment and sites fulfilling the criteria for being potentially PCBs containing or contaminated, respectively. Follow up was made of the old equipment which had been identified within the previously surveyed districts, from which some data was available. The available data was used for follow up, while new sites were included when identified. A total of 51 sites were surveyed, and follow up was also made through information from the National Utility company TANESCO officials. A total of 184 equipment were identified. The numbers and types of potentially PCBs containing equipment surveyed in 2014 (after exclusion of equipment identified non-PCB from previous testing and analysis, are shown in Table 4 and 5.

It outlines principles for environmental management of impacts; and covers provisions on impact and risk assessment; prevention of pollution; waste management; environmental quality standards and public participation. The Act empowers the Minister to make regulations on POPs, which include PCBs. In the decade from the last inventory, the VPO which is the Ministry responsible for the Environment has conducted training and awareness activities, and established the following regulations and guidelines relevant to management and control of PCBs: Environmental Management (Hazardous Waste control and management) Regulations (2009) which adopt the Basel Convention Waste Streams, including PCBs containing/ contaminated wastes and National Guidelines on Management of POPs Contaminated Sites. ii) The Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act of 2003 (ICCA) The Act, which is implemented by the Ministry of Health, Gender, Community Development, Elderly and Children through the GCLA, addresses some of the aspects of POPs, specifically control of chemicals listed under Conventions ratified by the Government. In this context, PCBs are listed in the Eighth Schedule to the Act, while on the other hand oils are included in the Third Schedule to the Act rendering both subject to management and control. The Act has provisions for restrictions and phasing out of chemicals highly hazardous to health and to the environment, decommissioning of plants and facilities, and remediation and management of NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 33 contaminated sites.. c) Closed and partially-closed applications of PCB The NIP covers both closed and semi closed application of PCBs. Closed applications are those in which the PCBs are enclosed, and cannot escape during normal use. The main examples are transformers, capacitors and switchgears, which are sealed pieces of electrical equipment. On the other hand, in partially-closed category, the PCB-containing oil is employed as a fluid, which might be circulated around the equipment for example, as a heat transfer fluid or as a hydraulic fluid, in pumps, or in circuit breakers. The movement implies the presence of joints and seals in the equipment, creating the possibility for these types of equipment can release small amounts of fluid during normal operation. d) Open applications of PCBs In open applications, the PCBs are generally incorporated into a formulation. Such products can be sealants, lubricants, adhesives, paints, inks, etc, where it becomes widely dispersed according to each application, and it is a big challenge to manage them. One solution to this problem is to ban the incorporation of PCBs in such products; which has already been done in most countries, although many products manufactured earlier may still be in use. e) Wastes containing PCBs From the survey data, all units that have been decommissioned or somehow declared to have been out of service are regarded as waste. Wastes containing oil suspected to contain PCBs include contaminated solids, obsolete/defective/decommissioned transformers, filters and residues from electrical equipment. A large portion of the equipment produced in the period when PCBs were used been phased out has over the past decade, while the rest are old and could be unserviceable within the next 5 years. Among the institutions with large amounts of potentially PCBs contaminated equipment are TANESCO and TAZARA. The available management options for PCBs waste involve decontamination and destruction, and are applicable to electrical equipment (transformers, capacitors, oil circuit breakers, etc.), PCBs oil or waste oils and contaminated soils. The unit can either be removed from service, or the electrical oils can be replaced by a non PCB substitute whilst the transformer is in operation. Decontamination is done in two ways: In the first case, complete decontamination leads to destruction of the transformer, with recovery of most metallic components. The second case is called “retrofilling” which involves removing oil, even while the transformer is in NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)34 service, and treating this oil in a closed circuit to destroy the PCB it contains. Several technologies exist for carrying out retrofilling. f) Contaminated Sites In the first 2 surveys, potentially contaminated sites were identified based on visual inspection and assessment. All sites with leaking units were considered to be sites that will potentially become contaminated in the future if mitigation measures were not instituted urgently. The level of contamination was assessed following criteria set as follows: Leaking equipment or contaminated site, very close to sensitive sites (water sources, public places such as offices, residential or bus terminal, etc.) needs immediate mitigation priority 1; Leaking equipment or contaminated site needs mitigation- priority 2; Contaminated sites will need mitigation- priority 3. These sites were followed up, and the situation found for the sites is presented in the Table 9. A site with leaking PCB transformer was also found at Tanga.

Water Pump-Kibaha District 1 2 Transformers in place g) Capacity and experience to monitor releases of PCBs in Tanzania The capacity and experience to monitor releases of PCBs into the environment and to monitor and manage the associated adverse effects to health and the environment is still limited in Tanzania. This NIP reveals a very low level of awareness among most TANESCO staff and other stakeholders, from technicians to the management level. Handling of oils and equipment potentially containing PCBs is therefore poor. The level of awareness on potential effects of PCBs among the regulators, training and research institutions, and the public is generally low. 2.3.2.5 Conclusions It is concluded that there is no comprehensive inventory of PCBs in Country. It is recommended that an inventoryshould be conducted, and an electronic database that will enable monitoring of all PCB sites and equipment be established. Testing and laboratory analysis of samples should be conducted. Also, urgent action should be taken to manage the leakage at the former TFC plant in Tanga, as well as securing and managing the existing PCBs contaminated sites. Also an assessment of the use of potentially PCB-contaminated waste oils and the potential relevance of open PCB applications should be done. There is need for formulation and review of national policies and regulations, and strengthening enforcement of the existing legislation to facilitate meeting the obligations in the SC. Themedia should be used for awareness programmes, and technical personnel trained. Strategies for assessing and phasing in sustainable alternatives are proposed to be established in the update of the PCB NIP for implementation of the Stockholm and Basel Conventions. 2.3.3 ASSESSMENT OF POP-PbDES (ANNEX A, PART iv AND PART v CHEMiCALS) AND Hbb (ANNEX A, PART i CHEMiCALS) 2.3.3.1 Summary In the transport sector where PBDEs were used in Polyurethane (PUR) foam, the total c-pentaBDE was estimated for the inventory year (2010), from the various life stages of vehicles, that is: imports, in use, End of Life Vehicles (ELV) and accident generated ELVs, and those generated from ELV in the previous years. to be 13.7 tonnes, while the total amount of PUR foam generated 37,600 T. The PUR foam and other plastic wastes from ELVs and the plastic from electronics are mainly disposed to landfills or dump sites, which can be considered potential contaminated NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)36 sites, which also pose environmental and health hazards mainly through leaching to water sources. The amount of POP-PBDE in plastic from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and related waste (WEEE) were estimated for the inventory year 2011: The total c-OctaBDE in EEE was estimated to be 107 tonnes of which the listed HexaBDE (11%) is 11.8 tonnes and HeptaBDE (43%) is 46.2 tonnes. The largest share of this were stocks in households with total amount of c-OctaBDE in stock of 97.6 tonnes in 527,780 tonnes of EEE of categories 3 and 4 equipment with total polymer fraction of 106,300 tonnes. 2.3.3.2 Introduction Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are highly persistent in the environment, bioaccumulative and have a high potential for long-range environmental transport. These chemicals have been detected in humans and biota in all regions. There is evidence of harmful effects in humans and wildlife. Polybrominated diphenylethers listed in the Stockholm Convention (POPs-PBDEs) were produced and used in the period from approximately 1975 to 2004 in the transport sector (cars, buses, trucks, trains, planes, and ships) in which polyurethane foams (PUR) were produced using PBDEs. Vehicles produced during this period were inventoried for POPs-PBDEs, as this sector is a large material flow of goods which ultimately becomes a large waste and recycling flow for recovery of materials and management of pollutants. The inventory provides an overview of the amounts of POP-PBDEs and the Polymeric fractions and Polyurethane foam generated from end-of-life vehicles and from plastic of electrical and electronic equipment, which need to be managed in an Environmentally Sound Manner. The transport sector (cars, buses, trucks, trains, planes, and ships) in which are polyurethane foams which were produced using PBDEs, is one of the large material flows of goods and ultimately becomes a large waste and recycling flow. The end of-life management of the transport sector is a highly relevant material flow for the recovery of materials and for managing pollutants. Cars and other vehicles (trucks and buses) is the major portion of the transport sector containing the largest volume of POPs-PBDEs. The focus and methodology for the inventory was therefore centred on these vehicles. POPs-PBDEs were produced and used in the period from approximately 1975 to 2004, only vehicles produced during this period were inventoried for POPs-PBDEs. 2.3.3.3 Inventory of PBDEs in the Transport Sector a) Methodology NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 37 The information and data was collected and compiled from Government and non governmental institutions including Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), Traffic Police, Surface and Marine Transport Regulatory Authority (SUMATRA), Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority (TIRA) and the Association of Tanzania Insurers (ATI). Also the basic formula from the POPs-PBDEs Inventory Guidance Document was used to calculate the POPs-PBDEs content of vehicles for the different categories (cars/trucks or buses) in different life cycle stages. Amount of POPs-PBDEsVehicle category = Number of vehiclescategory (manufactured 1975 to 2004) x POPs-PBDEscategory x Fregional Where: • Number of vehiclescategory is the number of vehicles (manufactured 1975-2004) present in a category (car or bus) calculated for the different life cycle stages. • Amount POPs-PBDEscategory is the amount of POPs-PBDEs in an individual car or bus treated with POPs-PBDEs • Fregional the regional factor of percentage of POPs-PBDEs impacted vehicles produced in a region. a) Distribution The distribution of vehicles by origin i.e. from US and other regions was estimated to be 0.26%: 99.74% respectively, while the ratio of old (produced before 2005) to new cars was estimated at 95 %: 5%, based on import statistics from the Tanzania Revenue Authority. b) Recycling of polymers from end-of-life vehicles No data on the recycling of polymers from end of life vehicles were available and thus are not included in this NIP. b) Findings in vehicle inventory i) POPs-PBDEs in Vehicles in Use and Stockpiled The inventory was based on the national registration statistics, which were centralised since July 2003. In addition to the collection of available statistical data and reports, face to face interviews with the Customs, Insurance, Traffic Police and other experts were conducted. It was therefore possible to collect data on imported cars for 2010 and data on cumulative registration of vehicles 2005 up to 2010. However, for the NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)38 import data, the year of production was available for only about 70% of the vehicles. Therefore the inventory year was chosen to be 2010. Vehicles in use represent a major stock of POPs-PBDEs and are important for planning of waste management of the transport sector. Table 10: Basic Data & Estimations – Use Registered vehicles 2010 = 879,721* 95% manufactured 1980 – 2004 = 835,735 Number of buses = 10.49 % x (835,735) = 87,669 Cars Manufactured in US = (0. 26 % x 835,735) = 2,173 Cars manufactured in the other regions = 745,893 *estimates Quantity of PUR Foam 16 kg per Car/Truck 748,066 x 16kg = 11,969.056 T 100 kg/ bus 87,669 x 100kg =8,766.900 T The calculation of POPs-PBDEs in vehicles in current use was compiled according to the UNEP POPs-PBDEs Inventory Guidance Document (Table 5-1) as shown in Table 11.

Data on the number of vehicles being scrapped could be derived from the number of vehicles whose registration was cancelled, however this data were not available. The number of end-of-life vehicles was then estimated by the number of total vehicles in use and their estimated life expectancy. iii) Vehicles reaching end-of-life based on average life span The average life span of a vehicle was estimated to be 8 years*. It was therefore estimated for this preliminary inventory that approximately 8% of the vehicle fleet (vehicles in use 2010 = 879,721) have entered end-of-life in 2010 which are 70,377 vehicles. Approximately 95% of these were produced before 2005 and therefore 66,858 vehicles were potentially impacted by POPs-PBDEs (see Table 14.). Table 14: Basic Data & Estimations – ELV • Estimated Life Span 8 years • Vehicles entering end of life in the year: 8% (879,721) 70,377 • Vehicles produced before 2005: 95% (70,377) 66,858 • Distribution ratio Cars & Trucks: Buses 90% : 10% Table 15: Estimated number of end-of-life vehicles in Tanzania in 2010 Vehicle type Number Cars and Trucks (90%)* 60,172 Buses (10%) 6,686 Total 66,858 *assuming same distribution nationally as in Dar es Salaam: DART Project 2007. iv) End-of-life vehicles due to Accidents About 24,665 vehicles were involved in accidents from January to December 2010 (3), out of which 40% (9,866) are estimated to have been written – off. This number NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 41 was added to end-of-life vehicles and the total amount used for the inventory.

These deposits can also be considered as contaminated sites, depending on how much was disposed there. There was a need to have inventory of the total amount of POPs-PBDEs-containing materials from end-of-life vehicles disposed to landfills/dumps from 1980 to the year 2010, however the data for this calculation were limited to cumulative registrations for the years 2005- 2009, from which estimates were made of ELVs. Taking into consideration the exponential growth in importation of vehicles, it was the number of ELV possibly generated in the period 1985 to 2004 was estimated based on the ELVs from 2005- 2009. The total number of waste ELV potentially containing POP-PBDEs by the year 2010 was 425,600, with a total of 10,000 tonnes of PUR foam. POPs-PBDEs in landfill/dumps from end-of-life vehicles were then calculated according to Table 5-4 of the UNEP Guidance Document, as shown in Table 18.

These were therefore, the key target EEE/WEEE fractions addressed by the POP-PBDEs inventory. The inventory of POP-PBDEs in EEE/WEEE therefore focused on second-hand EEE imported in the inventory year and the previous years during which possibly POP- PBDEs - containing EEE/ WEEE were imported, as a base for estimating stocks; EEE in use and/or stored in the possession of consumers; EEE entering the waste stream (WEEE) and WEEE plastics sent for recycling from domestic WEEE, and imported WEEE polymer. a) Methodology Initially, Data from the country e-waste assessment report focusing on ICT equipment was used, for estimating the minimum POP- PBDE amounts in the Country. Penetration data (appliances/capita) of CRTs from a similar country in the region was used as recommended in the UNEP Guidance and the population in the country was used as shown below: b) Calculation of c-OctaBDE in CRT devices MPBDE(i) = No of CRTs/capita Region x population x 25 kg x 0.3 x (0.00087 0.00254) = 0. 17* x 44,000,000 x 25 kg x 0.3 x (0.00087-0.00254) =48807 - 142494, Where: i) MPBDE(i) is the amount of POP-PBDEs (i) in [kg] (in Polymer (k) of NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)44 electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) (j)) ii) MEEE(j) is the amount of EEE (j) in [in tonnes] (imported, stockpiled or entering the waste stream) iii) fPolymer is the total polymer fraction in [weight-%] iv) CPBDE(i); Polymer is the content of the POP-PBDEs (i) in the total polymer fraction in [kg/tonne] Of this amount, the plastic/polymer fraction (42%) is estimated to be 20,499 to 59,847 kg. The respective range of amounts of POP-PBDEs (HeptaBDE and HexaBDE) according to their fractions in the c- OctaBDE given in the guidance was then calculated and the preliminary inventory results are shown in Table 20.

The assessment addressed the three stages in the life cycle of EEE; imports of new and second hand, EEE stocks and EEE entering the waste stream, focusing mainly on computers and other ICT equipment. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 45 Data from the additional investigations were used for calculations of inventories of EEE/WEEE in private companies. The inventory year was chosen to be 2011, in view of the available data for the year, specifically the EEE/ WEEE study that had been conducted under UNIDO. In the case of appliances at Household level, data from a survey of 2009 were used, where extrapolations/estimates were made to 2011. In this inventory, no records of POP PBDEs imports or use in the country were found. However, articles and products containing POP-PBDEs including EEE/WEEE were being imported into the country at an increasing rate. In accordance to the Guidance, this inventory was conducted through estimating EEE/WEEE at household and institutional levels.The year 2011 was chosen as the inventory year. 2.3.3.5 Inventory of Stocks and Flows of EEE/WEEE a) Imports of New and Second-Hand EEE Statistical data on imports of ICT products into the country were drawn mainly from theTanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) and UN-COMTRADE. The import data from both national and international databases did not distinguish between new and second-hand EEE, therefore a survey was conducted on selected distributors/ retailers of computers to establish the share of second-hand products which was found to be 13%, mainly sold to households. The estimation of POP-PBDEs in imported computers and TVs was therefore done using the following key data and assumptions from the country report: i) Imported computers (unit items) in 2011:130,000; ii) Average wt per unit computer (kg) : 13; iii) Total wt of imported computers: 1,690,000kg; iv) Share of imported second hand computers: 13%; (219,700kg) v) Imported TVs ( unit items) in 2009: 43145 vi) Average wt per unit TVs : 25kg vii) Total wt of imported TVs: 1,078,626 kg; viii) Share of imported second-hand TVs: 13% (140,221kg) The amount of total POP-PBDEs in EEE was then calculated as shown below. MPBDE(i) = MEEE(j) x fPolymer(k) x CPBDE(i);Polymer(k) Where: i) MPBDE(i) is the amount of POP-PBDEs (i) in [kg] (in Polymer (k) of NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)46 electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) (j)) ii) MEEE(j) is the amount of EEE (j) in [in tonnes] (imported, stockpiled or entering the waste stream) iii) fPolymer is the total polymer fraction in [weight-%] iv) CPBDE(i); Polymer is the content of the POP-PBDEs (i) in the total polymer fraction in [kg/tonne] Table 21 shows the estimated POP-PBDEs in imported computers and TVs for the year 2011.

The key data in Table 4-5 of the UNEP guidance manual was used where for personal computers a penetration rate of .17 was used. Table 22 shows the estimated amount of EEE in stock.

Total weight of EEE & WEEE. Data from a country e-waste study in which 24 households were surveyed were used to calculate the amount of stocked EEE and WEEE in households, by multiplying the weight of EEE per household by the national data of total households in the country. Tables 23 and 24 show the results of the survey.

Therefore, the total weight of EEE at Household level for Categories 3 & 4 equipment was 527,780 Tonnes. Calculation of POP- PBDEs Stocked in Households Since the CRT casings (TVs and computer monitors) are expected to contain more than 50% of the total POP-PBDEs present in EEE, an initial assessment was conducted to estimate the major portion of POP-PBDEs in the EEE/ WEEE sector in the country using CRT monitor data. The POP-PBDEs content in CRT casings (TVs and computer monitors) was calculated taking into consideration the following additional data: • Population of the country: 44 m. • Weight of the CRTs: 25 kg per device (estimated average weight of a CRT monitor, either TV or PC monitor ); • Polymer content of CRT casings: 30% , • A range of c-OctaBDE content: 0.87 - 2.54 kg/tonne, for the polymers used in CRT casings (estimated average; see Table 25 below).

The polymer fraction of CRT monitors (computers and TVs) was 3.41 tonnes, with a c-Octa-BDE content of 5.12 kg; v) Waste: The total e-waste generated from CRT TV and computer monitors was 35,455 tonnes.The polymer fraction was 10,636 tonnes, whose c-OctaBDE content was 9,772.29 kg; and vi) Inventory for 2011: The total c-OctaBDE was estimated to be 107 tonnes of which the listed HexaBDE (11%) is 11.8 tonnes and HeptaBDE (43%) is 46.2 tonnes. The estimates of the inventory correlate with the levels estimated at the initial assessment. It is noted that most of the CRT monitors and therefore polymer were found at the Household level. In view of the accelerating rate of importation of EEE, the amount of wastes is expected to have increased, and many CRT monitors fallen into disuse by 2015. Other findings of the inventory include the following: i) Several policies and strategies on EEE/WEEE management have been established in the country. However, there is currently no specific comprehensive policy specifically on EEE/WEEE; ii) The Extended producer responsibility approach could be taken, in line with the Polluter Pays Principle already embedded in the National Environmental Policy (1997); iii) Several studies on e-waste management have been carried out; however there is no comprehensive study; iv) There is a low level of awareness or appreciation of e-waste management as a major problem, therefore low priority is given to e-waste management NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)58 issues; v) There is inadequate competence in e-waste management issues; vi) The enforcement level of the existing environmental laws and regulations applicable to EEE/WEEE is not adequate; and vii) Financial resources allocation on waste management including e-waste is inadequate. 2.3.3.7 Conclusion on POP-PBDEs in EEE/WEEE and vehicles Products and articles containing POP-PBDEs are present in Tanzania in plastics from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and related waste (WEEE) and in the transport sector primarily in PUR foam. The major amount of POP-PBDE is in plastic from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and related waste (WEEE) and was estimated to 107 tonnes c-OctaBDE with listed HexaBDE of 11.8 tonnes and HeptaBDE of 46.2 tonnes. The largest share of this were in stocks in households (c-OctaBDE in stock of 97.6 tonnes) in 527,780 tonnes of EEE of categories 3 and 4 equipment with total polymer fraction of 106,300 tonnes. The total c-pentaBDE estimated in the inventory year (2010) from the various life stages of vehicles, that is: imports, in use, End of Life Vehicles (ELV) and accident generated ELVs, and those generated from ELV in the previous years was 13.7 tonnes. 8.3 tonnes POP-PBDEs are considered to be still in use within 20,700 tonnes of PUR foam. The total number of end-of-life vehicle potentially containing POP PBDEs by the year 2010 was 425,600, containing 10,000 tonnes of PUR foam with an estimated amount of 4.2 tonnes POP-PBDEs. The PUR foam and other plastic wastes from ELVs and the plastic from electronics are mainly disposed to landfills or dump sites, which can be considered potential contaminated sites. This poses a special risk of leaching and contamination of soils and water sources. In general, leachates are not regularly monitored in the country. The POPs- PBDE wastes and contaminated site require special management due to the PBDE content. The issue of PBDEs as POPs is a completely new subject to almost all stakeholders, and so there is need for awareness-raising, technical and institutional capacity building. There is need for strategies for ESM of e-waste and control of the potential health and environmental risks including risks from PBDEs, heavy metals and other hazardous chemicals emanating from WEEE. This should be done parallel to efforts on raising awareness of all stakeholders on the potential risks from WEEE. Technical and infrastructural collaboration with partners is needed, in view of the limited capacity at the national level.

The NIP established presence of DDT contaminated sites after the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP) clean-up operations about ten buried drums of DDT at Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms. The existing DDT contaminated sites include Korogwe, Vikuge at Kibaha, Morogoro National Housing Cooperation (NHC) close to Railways station, PHS Tengeru in Arusha and Murbadaw wheat farms in Hanang. The contaminated sites at Morogoro National Housing Cooperation (NHC) close to Railways station and PHS Tengeru in Arusha are currently under the UNIDO/TPRI project to determine levels of contamination. 2.3.4.2 Introduction The strategy and scope of monitoring effects of DDT to human health and the environment requires skilled personnel and adequate and readily available funds. The monitoring of effects of DDT also requires a well-planned and committed inter sectoral collaboration and a well-defined programme. 2.3.4.3 Methodology A countrywide inventory was carried out in September - November, 2014 to assess presence in the market, stockpiles and contaminated sites and materials of DDT. The inventory was aimed at gathering information of DDT with a view of updating the initial NIP, 2005 for Stockholm Convention developed in the United Republic of Tanzania (URT). Based on the meagre financial resources and time constraint, representative regions were specifically selected as follows: Mbeya, Morogoro, Dar es Salaam, Coast Regions, Mwanza, Shinyanga, Tabora, Singida, Arusha, Manyara and Tanga. The criteria used to identify regions and sites to be visited included: Intensive Agricultural activities (Anticipating of using large volumes of pesticides and hence, likelihood of existence of DDT; Large Cities (Presence of pesticides formulating plants, pesticides importers, pesticides sellers and existence of characteristic features of having high concentration of institutions/ministries responsible for the control and management of pesticides); Reports of the previous inventories of existences and status of DDT stockpiles, DDT contaminated sites and empty DDT containers and Major entry points for the importation. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)60 DDT data were collected using checklist targeted to stakeholders who were responsible for the pesticides control and management. These included sellers, importers and formulators/re-packers. Other responsible institutions included regulators like Pesticides Inspectors, NEMC, and compliance assistance stakeholders like the Customs officials. 2.3.4.4 Findings a) Policy and Regulatory Framework Pesticides in the United Republic of Tanzania (URT) are regulated by the Plant Protection Act Number 5 of 1997 and being implemented by the Plant Protection Regulations of 1999 made under Section 42 (1) of the Plant Protection Act. Also, Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) including DDT are partly regulated by the Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act No. 3 of 2003. Furthermore, the Environmental Management Act of 2004 offers an umbrella regulation on environmental protection and management. b) Current and Projected Future Production and Use DDT was registered and used as an insecticide for the control of agricultural and public health pests in the United Republic of Tanzania before the year 1997. The use of DDT in the past resulted into accumulation of stockpiles and contaminated sites. Stockpiles of DDT have been repackaged and safely disposed of abroad through the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP) leaving behind contaminated sites. However, there are no current and projected future plans for the production, and use of DDT in Tanzania. c) Import and export of DDT Although, there is still a debate on whether Tanzania should import DDT for the control of malaria vectors by the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children no exemption has been requested from SC. Exemption for the use of DDT in the control of malaria causing vectors by Party countries is provided in Annex B, Part II Chemicals of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. d) Identified Stockpiles of DDT and DDT waste The inventory revealed no stockpiles of DDT except at Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms where about ten drums of DDT are still buried (Figure 2). However, other stockpiles of DDT were collected and transported for disposal abroad by GTZ (DDT at Old Korogwe) and by the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP) for other places.

The three years results of AChE Testing (OP exposures) among sprayers in large scale farms of horticulture and Coffee plantations in Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions are as shown in the Table 37. Table 37: Results of AChE Testing (OP exposures) among sprayers in large scale farms Period Total Population Tested Population With Acute Pesticides Poisoning Percentage (%) of Exposure January-December, 2010 268 71 26.5 January-December, 2011 380 73 19.2 January-December, 2012 383 108 28.2 Source: TPRI, Arusha ii) Environmental Monitoring NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)62 Currently there are no coordinated DDT environmental monitoring activities, apart from some few studies that have been carried out by individuals and institutions on POPs pesticides contaminated site. f) DDT Contaminated Sites Although there were two initiatives, one by GTZ and the other by Africa Stockpile Projects that removed obsolete stockpiles, there are still some DDT contaminated sites in Tanzania. The existing DDT contaminated sites include Korogwe, Vikuge at Kibaha, Morogoro National Housing Corporation (NHC) close to Railways station (Figure 3), PHS Department Tengeru in Arusha and Murbadaw wheat farm in Hanang. Figure 5: Morogoro DDT contaminated site under UNIDO Project g) Current Capacity and Experience in the Field of DDT There is limited capacity for the management of DDT in the country in terms of trained personnel, laboratory facilities (for analysis) and in legislation compliance issues. However, effective management is impeded by lack of resources, few trained personnel and inadequate monitoring facilities. There is also limited capacity to assess DDT effects in human and the environment. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 63 2.3.4.5 Conclusion There are no stockpiles of DDT after the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP) cleanup operation. NIP records DDT contaminated sites which includes Korogwe, Vikuge at Kibaha, Morogoro National Housing Corporation (NHC) close to Railways station (Figure 3), PHS Department Tengeru in Arusha. There are also about ten drums of the claimed to be a mixture DDT and endosulfan buried at Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms. In the case for use of DDT, at present, there are no current and projected future plans for the production, and use of DDT in Tanzania and if need arises formal exemption procedures as per SC will prevail. 2.3.5 ASSESSMENT OF PFOS, iTS SALTS AND PFOSF (ANNEX b,PART iii CHEMiCALS) 2.3.5.1 Summary The inventory revealed that the insecticide Sulfluramid had never been registered for use in Tanzania. No use of PFOS or related substances were identified in metal plating, paper and leather industries. A total of 18 suppliers and professional users of FFF were identified, with whom a total of 57,045 Litres of AFFF were found, most of which had been purchased after 2010. The Dr. Sthamer Company whose products were found at 2 sites was found through literature to have produced PFOS containing AFFF in the past, and to have later moved to production of PFOS-free AFFF. A total of 13 sites potentially contaminated with PFOS through accidental fires and firefighting drills were identified. It was also found that the level of awareness of most stakeholders specifically on PFOS was very low or none. Assessment of the other identified PFOS areas like synthetic carpets, oil and gas and paper industries should be undertaken. In addition, hazardous waste management practices and disposal facilities are not adequate, including PFOS containing articles and materials, thus posing risks to health and to the environment. There is therefore a need for technical and infrastructural capacity building for carrying out the necessary measures to ensure risks of PFOS and related substances to health and to the environment are minimized. 2.3.5.2 Introduction Perfluorooctane sulphonic acid (PFOS), its salts, and Perfluorooctane Sulfonyl fluoride (PFOSF) were listed in Annex B of the Stockholm Convention in 2009. Parties must take measures to eliminate the production and use of PFOS, its salts, PFOSF and PFOS related chemicals as substances, in mixtures, and in articles containing these chemicals. Furthermore, Parties need to develop waste management schemes NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)64 to treat these in an environmentally sound manner. In general the production of PFOS, its salts, PFOSF and PFOS related chemicals as substances, in mixtures, and in articles containing these chemicals is only allowed for Parties if notified to the registers of Specific Exemptions and Acceptable purposes. Every four years, each Party that uses and/or produces these chemicals is obligated to report and submit information to the Conference of the Parties on the progress made to eliminate PFOS, its salts and PFOSF, in accordance with Article 15 of the Convention. 2.3.5.3 Methodology Tanzania undertook to conduct the first inventory of PFOS as part of her NIP update process in September 2014. The NIP reveals that the insecticide Sulfluramid had never been registered for use in Tanzania. On the other hand, metal plating, paper and leather industries were surveyed, where there was no declaration or identification of use of PFOS or related substances. The Government Chemist Laboratory Agency also provided a list of several PFOS related chemicals, which had been imported by industries over the past 10 years. The specific information sought included production, import and uses of PFOS and its related substances and presence of products and articles containing PFOS and its related substances on the consumer market, flows into the country of products and articles containing PFOS and its related substances and waste and disposal practices for products and articles containing PFOS and its related substances when they become wastes. The NIP also intends to document stockpiles, releases to the environment from point sources, potential contaminated sites and potential harmful exposure of humans and the environment. The objective of the inventory was to obtain the information needed for the sound management of PFOS and its related substances, and implementation of the country obligations under the Stockholm Convention. This inventory did not include minor uses of PFOS [UNEP, 2012a] as no manufacturer was identified. Considering the limitations in allocated resources, the scope covered institutions and industries in seven 7 regions in Mainland Tanzania, with the relatively highest level of industrial/ economic activities including Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Arusha, Mbeya, Mwanza, Shinyanga and Tanga. A detailed inventory was not possible for all sectors within the time and limited resources allocated for this project. Therefore, efforts were focused on assembling some initial inventory-related information in the specific sectors identified by stakeholders. The initial general assessment was conducted to achieve a preliminary list of PFOS-containing articles and products that could contain PFOS and its related substances; and preliminary list of retailers, suppliers of the identified articles and products and supply chain stakeholders. Thereafter, the inventory focused on Fire Fighting Foams considered highly relevant. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 65 To guide the inventory, the UNEP Guidance document for inventories of PFOS was used. A team of 4 national experts established by the Vice President`s Office (VPO) were involved in this survey which took 5 months. Stakeholders identified PFOS inventory areas relevant to Tanzania, including among others the metal plating industry, aviation hydraulic fluids, and firefighting foams. During the inventory, efforts were made to gather basic information as to the presence and use of PFOS, and to identify stakeholders. 2.3.5.4 Findings a) Concentrations of PFOS in various chemical formulas and products The Guidance for the Inventory of Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid (PFOS) and Related Chemicals Listed under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (2012) was used to conduct the inventory, where concentrations of PFOS in various chemical formulas and products are shown in Table 38. Table 38: Concentrations of PFOS in various chemical formulas and products Chemical formulas and products Concentration of PFOS in chemical formula/ product* References Aviation hydraulic fluids 0.05 – 0.1% DEFRA 2004 Fire-fighting foam 0.5-1.5 % (Up to 6%) DEFRA 2004 Textile formula/polymer 1.0-2.0% (Posner et al 2011) Impregnation formula for synthetic carpets 2-5 % (Posner et al 2011) Impregnation formula for leather about 1% UKEA 2004 Impregnation formula for paper and paperboard About 1% (Posner et al 2011) Coatings 0.1-1% UKEA 2004 Insecticide 0.01-0.1% UNEP 2010b Selection of relevant national sectors and other key stakeholders to be investigated was done guided by the lists provided in the Guidance. Likewise, the UNEP Guidance to imports (UNEP 2012b) was used to check with the National Chemicals Register at GCLA to discover if there had been any imports of PFOS or related substances. However, communication with stakeholders and collecting information was done through meetings, face to face, telephone interviews, letters, emails and filling Questionnaires (UNEP 2012a). NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)66 b) Policy and Regulatory Framework There are some provisions currently in the Environmental Management Act (2004) and Regulations focusing on POPs, which may address some of the requirements for sound management of POPs. The provisions in the Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act of 2003 (Cap 182) and Regulations (2012) on imports, exports, use and disposal of industrial and consumer chemicals may also be used to address some of the requirements for sound management of PFOS, specifically management and control of PFOS and related chemicals. The provisions currently in Cap 182 and Regulations (2012) do not directly address chemicals in articles and products. The Tanzania Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act (2003) has provisions for regulating chemicals in cosmetics, where lists of chemicals banned from inclusion in cosmetics are issued as necessary. c) Imports and Use of Chemicals, Products and Articles At the National Chemicals Register (GCLA), it was found that some PFOS-related substances had been imported into the country by various companies over the past 10 years, including 3 Suppliers/distributors, 2 Pharmaceutical companies, and 1 cigarette processing, paint and Cement Company, respectively (Table 39). Information on dates or amounts imported was not available within the inventory period. List of the chemicals used in some industries which are known to use PFOS were also provided, including textiles, leather, metal plating and paper. i) Industries In the responses to questionnaires to the textile, leather, metal and paper industries, no PFOS related chemicals were acknowledged by stakeholders nor identified from lists provided. It was noted that generally PFOS is a new issue to most stakeholders, and so awareness and knowledge was very low. Table 39: PFOS - related chemicals imported in the past 10 years S/N Chemical name Trade name 1-Octanesulfonyl Fluoride FT-9: RM90 Heptadecafluorooctanesulphonamide FT-99 1-Octanesulphonic Acid HG-608 1-Octanesulphonamide FT-10;HG-605 NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 67 Propanoic acid Benzene sulphonic acid Benzoic Acid 1-Octanesulfonamide HG-602 Sulphonamide ii) Insecticides and Aviation Hydraulic Fluids (AHF) According to the Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI), sulfluramid or other insecticides containing PFOS or its related substances have never been registered for use as pesticides in Tanzania. On the other hand, data obtained through the Tanzania Airports Authority (TAA) revealed two brands of AHF including Aeroshell fluids 31 and 41, and Brayco Micronic 756 (Castrol). The annual use ranged from 1 kg to 20 kg for the smaller airlines, and 80 kg for the larger ones, where about 20 kg of waste was generated annually. iii) Fire-Fighting Foams Most fire-fighting foams manufactured nowadays are without PFOS, which has been replaced by fluorochemical/ telomers based on a perfluorohexane (C6) chain. In spite of reduced production in many regions, there are still significant amounts of fire-fighting foams containing PFOS stored, and as fire-fighting foams have a long shelf life (10–20 years or longer). PFOS-containing fire-fighting foams may still be used for some time in actual accidental fires. In addition, some regions have reported that fire-fighting foams with PFOS are still manufactured in large quantities, and that they were phased in during the 1990s as an alternative to halons which are ozone depleting compounds. In this context, fire-fighting foams containing PFOS, from the companies Tyco FS & BP, Ciba, Chemguard and 3M, may still be stored at professional users because of the long shelf life (UNEP 2012a). The inventory revealed that, potentially PFOS containing AFFF had surfactants listed as fluorosurfactant, floric component, fluoroalkyl surfactant or surfactant agent. It could not be clarified if the active ingredient in these foams is PFOS. d) FFF in Use/ Stored The amount in storage at company premises varied widely among the professional users, from 2,000 to 30,000 Litres depending on the nature of the installations and NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)68 fire risks, while most of the suppliers generally had small amounts of less than 80 Litres. The total amount of FFF potentially containing PFOS and related substances reported to be in store or use was 500 Litres among the local suppliers; and 57, 947 Litres, among the professional users, as shown in Table 40 and 41 and Figure 6 Table 40: Film Forming Foams in Stocks – Suppliers SN Product & codes Ingredients/ Amount in Storage (L) Supplier AQUEOUS FFF C301 MS C601 MS 40 80 Amerex corporation Company Trussville AFFF (6%) Chubb SA C601MS Fluoro surfactants 40 Chubb Fire Ltd.

The sites where large fires had occurred in the past and training grounds were considered potential PFOS- contaminated sites. These are listed with training / drill sites in Table 42.

This information is compiled in the National Database of Industrial and Consumer chemicals. The GCLA and the TRA were therefore consulted for information on imports of PFOS and related substances. The Guidance for the Control of the Import and Export of POPs (UNEP, 2012b) was used as a reference for identification of and follow up of on imports of PFOS from the National Chemicals Database. Questionnaires were also sent to industries including: metal, paper, leather, textiles, leather, carpets/ upholstery, oil & gas to investigate the chemicals used in their processes. Articles or products on the market potentially containing PFOS and its related substances were identified by stakeholders. Information was also sought from the National Bureau of Statistics. Information on imports and exports of products and articles potentially containing PFOS and salts (such as synthetic carpets, FFF, AHF) was requested from the Tanzania NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 71 Revenue Authority (TRA). The data provided within the limitations of the current inventory was in broad categories of products and did not provide sufficient detail to conclude on the presence of PFOS. g) Capacity and Experience in Tanzania Tanzania has over the years, built some capacity in chemicals management, however specific experience in the management of PFOS is a new area. There is no capacity and experience to monitor and to specifically manage releases of PFOS into the environment and the associated adverse effects to health and the environment. At the moment, monitoring of leachates and handling of wastes including articles potentially containing PFOS is poor, where sorting and efficiency specifically in the urban areas is less than 60%. 2.3.5.5 Conclusions It is concluded that: • Potentially PFOS containing articles and products like carpets and textiles, AHF & FFF respectively, have been in use in Tanzania. • Also, some PFOS related chemicals have been imported by several industries in the past, while there is also chromium plating and other industrial activities where PFOS and related chemicals are possibly in use. • Various sites all over the country are potentially contaminated with PFOS through the use of FFF in drills and accidental fires, and disposal of wastes. In the aspect of capacity and experience, most stakeholders are not aware of PFOS, and so there is very limited capacity for monitoring PFOS presence and releases as well as adverse effects to human health and the environment, identification of PFOS containing imported articles and facilities for disposal of hazardous wastes including PFOS containing wastes. The capacity for monitoring and remediation of POPs contaminated sites is also still very low. The current Environmental and Chemical legal instruments can partially address the requirements for sound management of PFOS, however new regulations under the same can be developed to adequately address the management and control of PFOS, including chemicals in articles and products. Also, it was noted from literature that alternatives are available for many of the PFOS related substances, including AFFF, although none of the PFOS- free AFFF were identified in this survey. However, there is still some uncertainty in the area of AHFs. Per- and polyfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) are a focal topic of SAICM and perfluorooctane acid (PFOA) is currently assessed in the POP Reviewing committee. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)72 Therefore the topic of PFOS/PFOA and generally PFAS need to be more broadly addressed in future. 2.3.6 ASSESSMENT OF RELEASES OF uNiNTENTiONALLY PRODuCED CHEMiCALS (ANNEX C CHEMiCALS) 2.3.6.1 Summary According to the updated inventory for the inventory year 2014, unintentionally produced POPs (u-POPs) i.e. (PCDDs, PCDFs and other u-POPs) are mainly produced from waste incineration (384 g TEQ/annum (71.4%)) followed by opening burning with release of 100.8 g TEQ/annum (18.74%) and production of mineral processing release of 48.1g TEQ/annum (8.1%). Within the incineration category the major emitter is the medical incineration which release about 383.963 (99.99%) of waste incineration category. The total release for the inventory year 2014was estimated to 572 g TEQ. Also the baseline inventory from 2002 was updated with the UNEP toolkit from 2013 with a total amount of 967 g TEQ for 2002. Overall, the releases were reduced due to lower releases from open burning. An increased release were found in waste incinerators where releases increased from 113.4 g TEQ for 2002 to 385.9 g TEQ for 2014. 2.3.6.2 Introduction Unintentionally produced POPs (u-POPs), which includes Polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins (PCDDs) and Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), unintentional Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Hexachlorobenzenes (HCB) and Pentachlorobenzenes (PeCBz) and Polychlorinaed naphthalenes (PCNs) are unintentionally produced from chemical, industrial and combustion processes. These emissions are environmental contaminants detectable in almost all compartments of the global ecosystem in trace amounts. The identified sources of PCDD/PCDF and other u-POPs in Tanzania are waste incineration; open burning; production of mineral products; ferrous and non-ferrous metal production; heat and power generation; and transportation; in order of significance. Figure 7: PCDD and PCDF molecular structure. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 73 2.3.6.3 Methodology The survey was carried out with the objective collecting data on uPOPs releases in Tanzania for the purpose of the updating the National Implementation Plan (NIP) of the United Republic of Tanzania for the Stockholm Convention (SC). The NIP update focused on Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) and dibenzofurans (PCDF), unintentional Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) as well as new listed uPOPs Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz). The field assessment involved administration of questionnaires (adapted from the UNEP Dioxin Toolkit) and physical verification of status of facilities. Additional data were collected from literature. Furthermore, where data was not available from literature, assumptions were made to estimate the activity data. Comparison of the current emissions with the recalculated emissions from the 2002 was made to assess the extent of implementation and effectiveness of the measures that have been put in place since the last National Implementation Plan or to assess the changes in emissions due to change of anthropogenic activities. The contribution of Organochlorine chemicals to the total release could not be assessed in the NIP. During the field assessment questionnaires (adapted from the UNEP Dioxin Toolkit 2013) were administered and physical verification of status of facilities was done. Additional data were collected from literature. Because of budget constraint, whole of Tanzania could not be covered. Interpolation of data was based on literature and expert judgement by the inventory team. Furthermore, where data was not available from literature, assumptions were made to estimate the activity rates. Comparison of the current emissions with the recalculated emissions from the 2002 assessment was made to assess the extent of implementation and effectiveness of the measures that have been put in place since the last National Implementation Plan or to assess the changes in emissions due to change of anthropogenic activities. 2.3.6.4 Findings a) Estimated PCDD/PCDF Releases The estimated PCDD/PCDF releases (g TEQ/annum) for 2014 as inventory year are compiled for the 10 source groups in Table 43 and the updated PCDD/PCDF inventory from 2002 is compiled in Table 44.

Within the incineration category the major emitter is the medical waste incineration which release about 383.96 (99.99%). This may be attributed to the Ministry of Health’s drive of installing incinerators in all District, Regional and Referral hospitals. Unfortunately the majority of the installed incinerators are either not working properly or are not appropriate for the medical waste incineration. Within the open burning, waste burning and accidental fires is the major contributing source category of uPOPs into air (63.73%). In general the level of u-POPs emissions has gone down from 967 g TEQ/a for the 2002 baseline inventory to 572 g TEQ/a for the updated inventory in 2014 (a reduction of about 40.8%). The major releases of the 2014 inventory are different to the 2002 baseline assessment (table 28), in which it was established that the leading source groups were open burning with 495.6 g TEQ/a equivalent to 49.7% of total release, waste incineration with 112.8 g TEQ/a equivalent to 27.67% and power generation and heating 275.9 (g TEQ/a) equivalent to 11.32%, as shown in Table 44 NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 75 Table 44: Estimated PCDD and PCDF (2002) Source Groups Annual Releases (g TEQ/a) Group Air Water Land Product Residue 1 Waste Incineration 112.8 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.6 2 Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal Production 0.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 3 Heat and Power Generation 275.9 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4 Production of Mineral Products 5.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 5 Transportation 0.4 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 6 Open Burning Processes 495.6 0.0 73.0 0.0 0.0 7 Production of Chemicals and Consumer Goods 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.1 8 Miscellaneous 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 9 Disposal 0.0 0.0 0.0 3.3 0.0 10 Identification of Potential Hot-Spots 0.0 0.0 1-10 Total 890.0 0.0 73.0 3.4 0.6 Grand Total 967 There is serious lack of data and as such estimation was necessary. There was serious lack of information in such areas as unintended waste burning and accidental fires; production and use of chemicals; and disposal/landfill. Other gaps include lack of capacity and experience for monitoring of releases of uPOPs; lack of awareness of uPOPs; lack of Best Available Techniques (BATs) and Best Environmental Practices (BEPs); and lack of planned information dissemination strategy. The survey was not able to identify any intentional management practices or mitigation of POPs releases. However, some industries such as cement and lime industries, that have been modified even when the modification was not driven by the need to mitigate POPs release, have air pollution control systems, which could reduce the amount of uPOPs releases to the environment. Nevertheless their operational efficiency is not known. In order to mitigate uPOPs in Tanzania medical waste incineration should be given a high priority. This could be done by introducing best waste management practices in hospitals and other health care facilities and reduction of PVC in the waste and in hospitals, which will reduce significantly the amount of waste for incineration. The second option could be to introduce well designed and well operated central treatment facilities in regions instead of having a multiplication of individual, inappropriate and /or poorly operated incinerators. The third recommendation is to improve awareness raising on the impacts of PCDD/PCDF and other uPOPs to NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)76 all potential emitters of the same. This will create the necessary concern for efficient operation which may reduce the release of PCDD/PCDF and other uPOPs. b) Releases of PCDD/PCDF by Source Categories The sources of PCDD/PCDF in Tanzania considered in the survey were: medical waste incineration; iron and steel production and foundries; fossil fuel power plants; biomass power plants; household heating and cooking; cement production; lime production; brick production; glass production; transport; bush fires and domestic waste burning. Like in the previous assessment, incineration of municipal and hazardous waste, light-fraction shredder, incineration of sewage sludge, waste wood and biomass are still not practiced in Tanzania. In addition iron ore sintering; coke production; production of copper, aluminium, lead, zinc, brass and magnesium; shredding and thermal wire reclamation are not done. Therefore estimation of releases from these categories was not done. i) Waste Incineration a) Medical waste incineration Hospital wastes comprise majority of total hazardous wastes generated in the country. Medical wastes are either incinerated or in some cases are disposed of together with other municipal waste at selected disposal sites. The inventory that was carried out before NIP update found out that most of District Hospitals and all Regional and Referral Hospitals had combustion facilities, which are simply called incinerators. However, majority of these incinerators, particularly those at the District Hospital; do not have basic characteristics to qualify them as incinerators. The Muhimbili incinerator was found to have some air pollution control systems while others do not. As a way of extrapolation of the results it was assumed that all Regional referral hospitals generate roughly same amount of waste and the incinerators are of the same type with no or minimum Air Pollution Control System (APCS). There are 23 Regional Hospitals in Tanzania Mainland. It was also assumed the district hospitals generate on average the same amount of wastes and use same type of incinerators with no or minimum APCS. In areas where there are larger incinerators (capacity of 10 tonnes per day) e.g., in Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, Bugando etc., the majority of large private hospitals are using these large incinerators. The waste incinerator in private and government health facilities especially in rural areas is considered small. National estimated figure of releases of PCDD/PCDF from this sub-category is NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 77 shown in Table 45.

All surveyed mills use electric arc furnaces; however in the previous survey there were other steel mills, which used induction or cupola furnace to produce steel from scrap. Since the information is not conclusive on how many use electric arc or induction furnaces, the worst-case scenario, i.e. use of electric arc and dirty scrap, is assumed. All of the surveyed industries are fitted with various flue gas treatment systems whose efficiency was not determined. For this reason, it is assumed that limited control measures are applied. Table 6 shows estimated annual releases of PCDD/PCDF in Tanzania from this sub category. b) Copper production There is no primary copper production in Tanzania, however the survey identified that there is a company which is producing copper from scrap. c) Lead production Similarly there is no primary lead production in Tanzania. There are some companies NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)78 in Dar es Salaam which are producing lead from scrap containing Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).

The main sources are power stations and industrial firing places (furnaces). Table 47 shows a list of thermal power plants currently in operation in Tanzania. In the previous survey Kiwira was generating electricity using coal. However, this plant is not working for the time being. There are plans to start producing about 600MW power from coal at Mchuchuma. Table 48 shows the estimated releases of PCDD/PCDF in Tanzania from this sub category.

Other companies that produce power from biomass include Tanzania Wattle Company, Mgololo Pulp and Paper Company and A-Z – Textile. Additional data was obtained from Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) and from literature (particularly for Industries generating power and selling to NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)80 TANESCO).

The annual per capital energy consumption estimates stands at 17.7 GJ. Based on 2012 National Census, the population of Tanzania is estimated at 44 Million. Using these figures, the estimates of national PCDD/PCDF releases from this subcategory were calculated and are shown in Table 51.

Amount of kerosene imported in Tanzania stands at about 189,681 tonnes per year. There are also household using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas. Use of coal in household is still insignificant probably due to lack of appropriate cookers to withstand high temperatures. Table 52 shows the estimated releases of PCDD/ PCDF from household fossil fuel burning in Tanzania.

All cement plants in Tanzania employ dry process. Raw materials are calcium carbonate, silica, alumna and ferrous Oxide (redsoil), all of which react at elevated temperature to form clinker. The clinker is then ground or milled together with gypsum and other additives to produce cement. All cement industries have electrostatic precipitators which are operating at reasonable efficiencies. The kiln operates at 1400oC. Mbeya Cement Company uses coal from Kiwira coal mine as fuel in the manufacturing processes, while Tanga Cement uses industrial oil. According to the survey conducted in 2002, Tanzania Portland Cement was using industrial oil and currently it is using natural gas. Table 53 shows estimated national PCDD/PCDF releases from cement production.

All lime producing plants in the mainland were visited. The NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 83 total annual national production of lime is about 91,600 tonnes. The visited industry indicates that there is no proper air emission control system. 54 shows national estimates of PCDD/PCDF releases from this sub-category.

Kisarawe Brick Factory Company Ltd., which in the previous inventory was producing 156,240 tonnes of bricks per year from clay soil, is no longer working. d) Glass production Kioo Ltd., is still the sole glass producer in Tanzania, however its production has gone up to 47,664 tonnes of glass per year comparing to the 31,000 tonnes of glass per year that were produced by then. Glass is produced from sand, limestone, dolomite and soda. It has two furnaces operating at 950 - 1000°C, with air pollution control system. Although, there are air pollution system, their efficiencies is not known as such we have assumed the worst case scenario.

The amount of sugarcane burning was estimated using literature figure4 where it is estimated that about 80% of the “trash”, including straw, the tops, and green and dry leaves, are burned off. These components constitute 25%: of the entire sugar cane stalk. The estimation of biomass burning was based on FAO publication,5 which approximate that on average of 11 million hectares burn annually (ranging between 8.5 and 12.9 million hectares). This corresponds to between nine and 14 % of Tanzania´s land area. It was assumed that the material lost in fire is estimated as 10 t/ha (forest) and 2.5 t/ha (grassland). 57 shows estimated national releases of PCDD/PCDF from uncontrolled biomass burning. The following data were not obtained. Agricultural residue burning in the field of cereal and other crops stubble, not impacted, accidental fires in vehicles (per vehicle) and open burning of wood (construction/demolition).

The remaining portion containing inorganic waste materials is not burned instead they are buried. The World Bank estimates that about 16.9 million tonnes of waste is generated in urban centres in Tanzania and about 40% of these are collected for disposal at the dumpsite. The data on accidental fires in houses, factories, accidental fires in vehicles (per vehicle) and open burning of wood (construction /demolition) were not obtained.

Only pulp and paper manufacturing plants produce. Basically PCDD/ PCDF are also created from a process that bleaches the wood pulp. Mgololo Pulp and paper mill is producing 13,255 tonnes per year. Table 59 shows the amount of PCDD/PCDF emitted from pulp and paper. It should be noted that during the 2002 inventory, Mgololo Pulp and Paper Mill was not operating.

While there are some cigarettes exported to neighbouring countries there is also a substantial amount of cigarettes imported in Tanzania (these include cigars and other brands which are not produced in Tanzania). It is therefore assumed that the amount exported cancels the amount imported and hence all 5.8 billion sticks are smoked locally. Table 60 shows national estimates of PCDD/PCDF releases from cigarette smoking.

An estimated 572 g TEQ PCDD/PCDF was released into the environments of Tanzania in 2014. Medical waste incineration had the largest impact with an emission of 384 g TEQ/a, which is 71.4% of total emission. This was followed by open burning with an emission of 100.8 g TEQ/a, which is 18.74% of total emissions. Within the waste incineration category, medical waste incineration accounted for 99.99%. This may be attributed to the huge number of incinerator found in district and regional hospitals. These incinerators are not properly designed and operated as medical waste incinerators. Therefore it may be concluded; in order to control unintentional emissions the key sectors to be focused are medical waste incineration and open burning. The releases to the 5 compartments/media – air, water, land, residues and products – were assessed. According to the toolkit approach, the main emission vectors were to NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)90 air (542.7 g; 94.9% of total releases) and land (13.8 g; 2.4% of total releases) followed releases to residue (12.1 g, 2.1% of total releases. However since PCDD/PCDF are semi-volatile compounds and can transgress from one media to another, the emission vectors only give an idea of the direct releases from the sources and not of the final contamination. PCDD and PCDF release were more during the 2002 inventory as compared to the 2014 inventory. Table 65 provide reasons for the differences.

ASSESSMENT OF POPs iN TANZANiA ZANZibAR 2.3.7.1 Summary This section examines POPs and identifies stockpiles of initial and new POPs and their related wastes in Zanzibar. While Zanzibar is fast growing in terms of industry, commerce and tourism sectors, its link to influx of stocks containing POPs is derived from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) and related wastes (WEEE). A total of 16 transformers were identified to contain 9,380 litres of oils suspected to contain PCBs. Stocks of new POPs identified during inventory include Endosulfan (31 Litres) and PBDE estimated to be contained in imported second-hand vehicles. In view of inadequate capacity for managing POPs in Zanzibar, there is a need to strengthen institutional capacity and coordination particularly in chemicals management including POPs, hazardous chemicals and other chemical wastes. Furthermore, institutional collaboration and partnership between Zanzibar and Tanzania Mainland needs to be enhanced for effective implementation of MEAs and achieving sustainable environmental management. 2.3.7.2 Introduction Environmental management including POPs in Zanzibar is coordinated by the Department of Environment (DoE) which is under the Ministry of Lands, Water, Energy and Environment. The main function of DoE is to oversee environmental management issues in Zanzibar by articulating environmental policy and broad-based planning necessary for promotion, protection and conservation of environment. Other institutions whose functions and mandates have bearing on environmental management include, among others, Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resource, Livestock and Fisheries; Zanzibar Electrical Corporation (ZECO), Zanzibar Food and Drugs Board (ZFDB); Zanzibar Chief Chemist Office; Ministry of Trade, Industries and Investment; and Office of the Chief Government Statistician (OCGS). The Zanzibar Environmental Management Act No.3 of 2015 provides for institutional and legal framework for environmental management in Zanzibar. The Act contains provisions addressing chemicals and waste management, however, lacks specific reference to POPs. 2.3.7.3 Methodology The inventory of initial and new POPs was carried out in Zanzibar from September to November, 2014. The objective of the inventory was to identify stockpiles of initial and new POPs and their related wastes in Zanzibar. A total of twenty four (24) sites and institutions were visited which were suspected to possess POPs (both public and private) in Unguja and Pemba Islands. Physical observations were done NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 93 to assess the existing situation, to establish baseline data in the study areas and to verify some of the information collected during interviews. Consultations with staff from responsible institutions/sites using open-ended checklist was carried out. 2.3.7 .4 Findings a) Policy and Regulatory Framework POPs in Zanzibar are regulated by several legislation which are: The Plant Protection Act of 1997 which focuses on plant protection and control of pests and is silent on agrochemicals; Zanzibar Environmental Management Act (2015) which provides for institutional and legal framework for control and management of environmental hazardous chemicals and wastes; and Zanzibar Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 2006 which regulates all matters relating to quality, safety of food, drugs, herbal drugs, medical devices, poisons and cosmetics. b) Production, Import, Export and Use of POPs and related chemicals Literally, Zanzibar does not either produce or export POPs, but may import or use POPs related materials. Generally, import and export of goods in Zanzibar is regulated by Zanzibar Trading Act of 1989. Zanzibar Environmental Management Act, 2015 and Zanzibar Food, Drugs and Cosmetic Act of 2006 have also some provisions for controlling importation and exportation of hazardous waste and pesticides. With the current practice however, enforcement of all these Acts in respect to chemicals has not been very effective. There are agencies which play important role in control of importation and exportation of plants and agrochemicals. ZFDB has stationed officers at the Port to facilitate the control of exportation and importation of foods, cosmetics and drugs. It has been difficult to establish export and import data for POPs as each organization has its own data collection system and standards. ZRB and Ministry of Trade in Zanzibar for example, have different data collection systems with different priorities. The inventory results are presented in Table 66. c) PCDD/PCDF The inventory found that almost all incinerators are not working. This intended to burn the wastes in open space. It is estimated that PCDD/PCDF releases 901,800 tonnes of municipal and 223.60 tonnes from different hospitals wastes are burned yearly, including wastes from Referrals Hospital like Mnazimmoja and Abdalla Mzee.

The data on registered cars, buses and trucks between 1980 and 2005 were available at the national level. The POPs-PBDEs in imported vehicles in 2013 were calculated according to the POPs-PBDEs Inventory Guidance.

These are imported from industrialised countries e.g. from Asia and Europe. In Zanzibar used equipment for reuse are of concern for the environmental and human health. Apart from this, the Department of Environment conducted a study on Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) in 2010, and the results showed that approximately two-thirds of all WEEE traders in Zanzibar were already dealing in importing and selling of mainly home appliances (TV sets, Refrigerators, Radios, Washing Machines, Computers and its accessories, Cookers, Washing Machines, Microwave ovens, etc.). Almost half of these WEEE items were ordered directly from overseas through relatives living in overseas, local agents and middlemen, and through authorized import-export dealers.

PFOS was the key ingredient in Scotchgard, a fabric protector made and numerous stain repellents. i) PFOS in Fire Fighting Foams Currently (2015), there are 23 vehicles in Zanzibar that are used for firefighting, which are belong to Fire Fighting and Rescue Unit. The type of foam used is Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) while the powder is made from the types of stone grinded at Greece (graphic stone). At present, there are 4,000 kg of AFFF and no amount powder reported to be available in the Institution. ii) PFOS in other applications As far as Zanzibar survey on POPs is concerned no PFOS identified in any application apart from firefighting and rescue Unit. Unfortunately no data available on carpets and furniture treated with stained repellent. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)98 g) Pesticide stockpiles in Zanzibar Zanzibar conducted initial POPs inventory in 2005/6 that lead to the preparation of POPs National implementation Plan. The implementation of that Plan however did not accomplish the disposal of POPs chemicals that were available at that time. When the African Stockpile Program (ASP) was initiated in December 2006 under NEMC, Zanzibar managed to conduct another inventory in 2008/9 to find sources and quantities of obsolete pesticides. After the ASP inventory program was ended, the collection and disposal of all identified materials, Zanzibar was assumed to be free from obsolete pesticides wastes pesticides wastes, about 2.5 tonnes of obsolete stockpiles were repackaged and safety disposed abroad. h) POPs contaminated sites i) Pesticide contaminated sites Physical observation indicated that areas which had stockpiles of obsolete chemicals wastes including POPs such as Mahonda Sugar Factory, Kibokwa Agricultural Station, and Migombani Health warehouse in Unguja Island and Machomane Plant Protection Division in Pemba Island are now in good condition. ii) PCB contaminated sites Before the first inventory ZECO had so many areas contaminated with oil suspected to contain PCB. Because many of the different types of old transformers were leaking. Some of them were leaking very badly. But after the first inventory in 2004, ZECO took great effort to minimize the leakage of oil from the old transformers. By repairing and maintenance in those affected transformers, so it managed to avoid the leakage of oil almost in all transformers except few of them. On top of that ZECO also started to reduce using the high tension switch gears which are using transformer oil. Most of all new Circuit Breakers which were installed at Mtoni, 11KV & 33 KV are Vacuum and Gas SF6 type respectively. The dismantled old circuit breakers are no longer used, but still exist at Mtoni Power station. Either some of the big customers, such as some of the hotels also already started to use dry type transformers. As a result transformers which are still leaking owned by ZECO remains very few one is located at Bambi Kilimo and still in use and another one is at Bwawani hotel and two transformers which are owned by the private company, COTEX factory which is located at Chumbuni is closed now, that means the transformers still exists but are not in use any more.

NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)100 Figure 10: The ashes from Makunduchi Cottage Hospital i) Awareness level and information dissemination Level of public awareness on POPs is generally assumed to be low. Large populations of Zanzibar are not even aware of the literal meaning of POPs let alone their sources and their effect to health and environment. This situation leads to poor handling and misuse of chemicals particularly pesticides in many areas. It was observed during the field visit that officers and people who are working in POPs areas such as stores were not equipped with appropriate and proper protective gears due to limited awareness on POPs. 2.3.7.5 Conclusion POPs pesticides identified during initial inventory amounting to 2.5 tonnes has been collected and disposed of through ASP. The amount of oil suspected containing PCBs are estimated to nearly 9,380 litres; the PBDE are estimated to 840 kg from transport sector and 92-263 kg from EEE/WEEE plastic. No PFOS identified in any application apart from firefighting and rescue Unit (4000 kg AFFF). The estimated PCDD/PCDF releases from municipal and medical waste incinerators in Zanzibar were relatively high estimated to 386.813 g TEQ/a. It was also revealed that low public awareness on POPs and inadequate enforcement of existing legislation are hindering proper management of POPs and other chemicals of concern in Zanzibar. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 101 2.3.8 iNFORMATiON ON THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE ON STOCKPiLES, CONTAMiNATED SiTES AND WASTES, iDENTiFiCATiON, LiKELY NuMbERS, RELEvANT REGuLATiONS, GuiDANCE, REMEDiATiON MEASuRES AND DATA ON RELEASES FROM SiTES 2.3.8.1 Summary In this survey, three categories of POPs that have potential of causing contamination were considered; namely industrial POPs (PCBs, PBDEs and PFOS); POP Pesticides including DDT; and u-POPs (PCDD and PCDF). Historical information on possible application of POPs chemicals was used as an indication of presence of POPs contaminated sites. All sites with leaking units were considered to be sites that will potentially become contaminated in the future if mitigation measures were not instituted urgently. Furthermore, information from ASP project was used to identify the possible POPs contaminated sites. The inventory revealed a range of stockpiles and five sites that are contaminated with DDT including Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms in Babati region where about ten drums of DDT are buried; 14 sites possibly contaminated with PCBs and u-POPs; 13 sites are potentially contaminated with PFOS. Moreover, industries that have closed business and municipal disposal sites are potential sources of future releases of PCDD and PCDF. These industries are categorized as: chemical, petroleum, tanneries, paper mills and textile industries. 2.3.8.2 Introduction POPs have adverse effects on human health. Therefore, POP-contaminated sites need to be properly managed or remediated. Special attention is needed when a location that previously had industrial or agricultural activities could have potential contamination. For example, gas works and old electricity generating stations are likely to be contaminated with PCBs because PCBs were components of transformer fluids. These sites could be polluted by one of the POPs. Even when the POP contaminated site is cleaned up to permissible levels, there is a possibility that impacts on people and the environment will have caused long-term health effects and environmental damage. It is vitally important to resolve the basic issues for POP-contaminated sites including their inventory, contaminated site discovery, and remediation. 2.3.8.3 Methodology A systematic assessment of contaminated sites was not done. During survey, historical information on possible application of POPs chemicals was used as an indication of presence of POPs contaminated sites and stockpiles. All sites with leaking units NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)102 were considered to be sites that will potentially become contaminated in the future if mitigation measures were not instituted urgently. Furthermore, information from ASP project was used to identify the possible POPs contaminated sites. 2.3.8.4 Findings a) DDT Stockpiles and Contaminated Sites Obsolete stockpiles include: i) About 10 drums of obsolete stocks containing DDT and other pesticides are still buried at Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms Manyara region. ii) Stockpiles of DDT were collected and transported for disposal abroad by GTZ (About 110 tonnes of DDT and upper surface of the cement concrete at Old Korogwe site were repacked by GTZ and incinerated in Germany) and by the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP) for other places (about 200 tonnes of DDT from Vikuge were cleanup; iii) 400 tonnes of DDT from Morogoro NHC were excavated during ASP operation and transported abroad for incineration). The existing DDT contaminated sites include: i) Old Korogwe site close to Pangani River in Tanga Region, it has an environmental contamination of concrete surface of about 8 m x 3 m coverage. There is no assessment on the levels of DDT residues carried out on the soil, water and plants. ii) Vikuge at Kibaha, Coast Region was contaminated with DDT powder. The contamination covered approximately 150 m x 120 m and approximately 2 km from water course of river, it had an extent of contaminated groundwater. iii) Morogoro NHC close to Railways station in Morogoro Region. The coverage of contaminated site is about 100 m x 100 m and the highly contaminated area is about 30 m x 40 m. iv) Plant Health Service (PHS) Department Tengeru in Arusha, whereby pesticides in drums were kept outside the office and the Drums rusted and the contents, leaked to the soil. v) Murbadaw wheat farm in Hanang, Babati Region. b) PCB Stockpile and Contaminated Sites The following were observed: i) Most of the transformers which had been found with PCBs concentrations NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 103 above 500 ppm were still in place, where out of 13 transformers in the surveyed regions, 11 are still at their original places. Among these, 7 are still in use. ii) The 4 equipment with PCBs concentrations in the range 50- 500 ppm in the surveyed area were not in use. iii) All the 7 equipment with PCBs concentrations in the range 5 - 50 ppm were not in place. It was assumed that most of the old equipment within the previously surveyed districts had been identified, from which some data was available. This was used for follow up, while new sites were included when identified. A total of 51 sites were surveyed, or follow up was made through information from TANESCO officials. A total of 184 units of equipment were identified. The sites considered to be contaminated with PCB are shown in Table 9. c) POPs PBDE Transport Stockpiles and Contaminated Sites In Tanzania, the wastes from End of Life Vehicle (ELV) containing the POPs-PBDEs fraction (the Automotive Shredder Residues (ASR) or the seats and other polymer parts) have been and are mainly disposed to landfills or dump sites. These deposits can also be considered as contaminated sites, depending on how much was disposed there. However the data for this calculation were limited to cumulative registrations for the years 2005- 2009, from which estimates were made of ELVs as shown in 7. POPs-PBDEs in landfill/dumps from end-of-life vehicles were then calculated according to Table 32 (table 5-4 of the UNEP Guidance Document), as shown in 8. d) POPs PBDE EEE/WEEE Stockpile and Contaminated Sites The Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) entering the waste stream or Waste from Electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) generated was calculated based on the following formula given in the guidance manual using the key data and assumptions shown. WEEE generated per year = MEEE(j)stockpiled / lsEEE(j) Where MEEE(j)stockpiled is the amount of EEE (j) stockpiled at the consumer [in tonnes] lsEEE(j) is the average life span of the specific appliance (j) [in years] (combined time of being used and stored at the consumer). E-waste generated from Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) computers in 2011 was estimated NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)104 to be 1,035 tonnes, and e-waste generated from CRT TV was estimated to be 34,420 tonnes, making a total of 35,455 tonnes of E- waste generated from CRT monitors. The polymer fraction of waste CRT monitors was estimated to be 10,636 Tonnes, whose c-OctaBDE content was 9,772.29 kg e) PFOS Stockpiles and Contaminated Sites Information on potential sites contaminated with PFOS and its related substances was collected simultaneously focusing on sites where firefighting foams have been used and dump sites where PFOS containing materials such as synthetic carpets may have been disposed. Local authorities responsible for collection and management of wastes were also consulted to follow up on disposal of articles such as worn out synthetic carpets. The National Environment Management Council was consulted for information on recycling activities, where no records were found of stakeholders who had notified the Council or have been identified for recycling of synthetic carpets. Various sites all over the country are potentially contaminated with PFOS through the use of FFF in drills and accidental fires, and disposal of wastes. Contaminated sites which included some of the sites where large accidental fires had occurred in the past and training grounds were identified. These have been listed in Table 41. 2.3.8.5 Conclusion The inventory revealed a total of 32 sites that are contaminated with DDT, PCBs, u-POPs and PFOS. Notably, 10 drums of a mixture of DDT and Endosulfan were found buried at Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms in Babati region. Moreover, industries that have closed business and municipal disposal sites are potential sources of future releases of PCDD and PCDF. These industries are categorized as: chemical, petroleum, tanneries, paper mills and textile industries. 2.3.9 SuMMARY OF FuTuRE PRODuCTiON, uSE, AND RELEASES OF POPs – REQuiREMENTS FOR EXEMPTiONS The inventory has shown that no pesticides were produced in Tanzania. The initial POPs pesticides which were registered and used as insecticides in the United Republic of Tanzania were Aldrin, Dieldrin, Heptachlor and Toxaphene. Hexachlorobenzene as fungicide and Mirex, Chlordane and Endrin as insecticides have never been registered nor used in Tanzania. According to the applicable legislation, no future production or use of POPs pesticides is envisaged in the country. The use of Aldrin, Dieldrin, Heptachlor and Toxaphene in the past resulted into NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 105 accumulation of stockpiles. The stockpiles have been repackaged and safely disposed of abroad through the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP) living behind contaminated sites. There are no present and projected future plans for the production, importation and use of Aldrin, Dieldrin, Heptachlor and Toxaphene. The new POPs pesticides which were registered, imported and used in the United Republic of Tanzania (URT) were lindane and endosulfan. Lindane was used for the control of termites in the construction industries and endosulfan was used for the control of chewing and sucking insect pests in various crops. Alpha and Beta Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), Pentachlorobenzene, Chlordecone and Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid (PFOS) related pesticide have never been registered in URT. At the 24th Pesticides Approval and Registration Technical Sub Committee (PARTS) meeting held on 2nd to 6th, December, 2014 lindane and endosulfan have been officially de-registered. Based on this de-registration decision, there are no present and projected future plans for the production, importation and use of lindane and endosulfan in URT. Initial and new listed POPs pesticides like any other pesticides, are controlled by the Plant Protection Act, 1997 and the Plant Protection Regulations, 1999. There are no present and projected future plans for the production, importation and use of the initial and new listed POPs pesticides in Tanzania due to de-registration decision and on the restrictive requirement during registration and importation as set out in the Plant Protection Act No. 5 of 1997 and Plant Protection Regulations of 1999. Although there are no specific provision concerns regulating POPs pesticides, strict consideration during pesticides registration are being imposed. The United Republic of Tanzania is a Party to the Stockholm Convention therefore is committed in fulfilling her obligations. Based on preliminary inventory it was established that no PCB mixtures have ever been nor are produced in Tanzania. According to applicable legislation, no production of any PCB or equipment containing PCB is envisaged. The preliminary inventory has shown that PCB fluids are still used in Tanzania mainly in closed systems (power production equipment). However, it should be noted that the PCB inventory developed within the framework of this project is only a preliminary inventory, which was limited by the duration of the project and financial resources available. Once a detailed PCB inventory is carried out reliable data on the use of PCB in Tanzania will be obtained, and only then it will be possible to estimate the future use of this chemical. However, legal and operational measures and activities envisaged under this NIP imply phasing out of the use of equipment containing or contaminated by PCB by 2026 at the latest, as required by the Convention. The use of PCB in open systems shall be subject to evaluation during the implementation of NIP. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)106 According to UNEP Toolkit (2013), PCDD/PCDF emissions are followed by emissions of other unintentionally formed POPs, which can be eliminated or minimised by the same measures used to tackle the issue of PCDD/PCDF emissions. Therefore, as recommended by UNEP (2013), this preliminary inventory was focused on dioxins and furans only, as they make a sufficient basis for identification and prioritisation of sources of all chemicals referred to in Annex C (hexachlorobenzene, pentachlorobenzene, polychlorinated biphenyls). Table 71 gives an overview of current and estimated production, use and release of POPs, and it is the result of a preliminary inventory of POPs in Tanzania. These values will be amended in the course of preparation of a detailed inventory.

However, individuals and institutions have been conducting environmental monitoring for research purposes. The existing POPs monitoring data in the country have been produced during the development of the first NIP from 2003 – 2005. The survey, therefore identified gaps in monitoring of initial and new POPs releases including lack of clear internal arrangement and reporting system in the country on POPs issues; lack of POPs monitoring programme; lack of monitoring standards; limited capacity for monitoring of initial and new POP within the existing institutions in the country. 2.3.10.2 Introduction According to Article 11 of the Stockholm Convention parties are required to encourage and/or undertake appropriate research, development, monitoring and cooperation pertaining to POPs and, where relevant to their alternatives and to candidate POPs. The scope of monitoring of initial and new POPs includes the following: sources and releases of POPs into the environment; presence, levels and trends in humans and the environment; environmental transport, fate and transformation; human health and the environment impacts; as well as socio-economic and cultural impacts. Monitoring needs to be undertaken continuously in order to identify and track changes in ecological integrity and function. This will help to update existing information base and guide new monitoring activity, and make necessary changes to existing monitoring programmes. Among others, assessment of institutional and legal framework for the management of initial and new POPs was undertaken among others to determine the current capacity in monitoring of initial and new POPs releases and their impacts to the environment and human health. The assessment focused on current priority POPs releases, monitoring standards, legal instruments and institutional capacity and experience in monitoring of POPs releases in Tanzania. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)110 2.3.10.3 Current Monitoring Standards and Capacity for Monitoring POPs Presence in the Environment i) Monitoring Standards There are no monitoring standards, this is partly caused by lack of legal provision to demand monitoring be done. Monitoring standards are not covered in the existing law. ii) Legal Requirement for Monitoring There exists several legislation that provide for environmental monitoring. These are Environment Management Act (2004); Plant Protection Act (1997) and Plant Protection Regulations (1999); National Environment Management Act (1983); Water Quality (utilization and control) Act of 1974 and its amendments of 1982, 1997 and 2000; Local Government Acts, No.7 and No. 8 of 1982 and its amendments; Occupation Safety and Health Act (2003); Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act of 2003; and Sustainable Environmental Management Act of Zanzibar (1996). However, due to weak enforcement, monitoring is not done properly. iii) Institutional Capacity There is limited capacity for monitoring of POP Pesticides within the existing institutions in the country; but there is no capacity for monitoring of PCB, PCDD/ PCDF, PBDE and PFOS. Institutions involved in monitoring of initial and new POPs releases are those responsible for policy-oriented research, environmental pollution standards and monitoring, chemicals management, training and research development and major owners of electrical equipment e.g. Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) and Zanzibar Electricity Company (ZECO). iv) Human Resource Base Currently regular monitoring of initial and new POPs releases is hindered by inadequate capacity to undertake it in terms of expertise, finance and working tools. Technicians in these institutions require specialized training on initial and new POPs monitoring procedures and analysis, determination of extent of contamination, assessment of human health and environmental impacts, determination of effectiveness of the alternatives and establishment of national emission factors for PCDD and PCDF. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 111 v) Infrastructure There are few existing institutions which have a number of facilities and trained personnel that can facilitate some of the functions of management of initial and new POPs, e.g. monitoring releases of PCB and undertaking analytical works. These are the GCLA, Tropical Pesticides Research (TPRI), and the University of Dar Es Salaam. Some of the facilities might need to be updated to enable them to analyse trace values, e.g. in foods, soils, water, blood and milk etc. Furthermore, training of staff on specific management and control aspects of PCB might be of value. vi) Institutions Institutions involved in environmental management in the country can be categorized into cross-cutting and sectoral mandates. Each of the categories assumes monitoring responsibilities at different coverage levels. Institutions with cross-cutting mandates are VPO-DoE and NEMC for mainland Tanzania and DoE and ZEMA for Zanzibar. While institutions such as TPRI, GCLA, OSHA, TBS, TANESCO, ZECO, TRA, THA, and Local Government Authorities have sectoral mandates in monitoring. 2.3.10.4 Background on Potential Sources of POPs Impacts The following are potential sources of POPs impacts: i) POP Pesticides: Main sources of POP pesticides impacts releases agricultural crops from areas that may be highly contaminated and obsolete pesticides with POP characteristics. ii) PCBs: Main sources of PCB impacts are electrical equipment (transformers, circuit breakers, capacitors and switchgears), which according to criteria used are suspected to contain PCB oil, confirmatory tests to establish concentration levels have not been performed. iii) PCDD and PCDF: Potential sources of impacts include hospital waste incineration, uncontrolled open burning. iv) PBDEs: Potential sources of impacts are areas used to dispose electrical and electronic wastes and areas where such waste is burned in the open. v) PFOS: Sources of PFOS impacts include areas where fire fightingfoams have been used with potential impact to ground water and possibly drinking water. Furthermore the potential use of PFOS in metal plating industry and aviation hydraulic fluids might lead to releases and exposure. 2.3.10.5 Evidence POPs Impacted populations or environment, Food, Feed and Humans There are few evidences on the effects of POP Pesticides to human and wildlife population in the country. The existing evidence includes areas which were NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)112 conducted on the effects of organochlorines in living things and agro-ecosystem. The studies showed low levels of residues of organochlorines. Some studies conducted in the areas with high agricultural activities and storage sites for obsolete pesticides included determination of the levels of organochlorine residues and their metabolites in the soil, sediments, water and vegetation indicated concentrations. Most studies have been conducted by the Chemistry Department University of Dar es salaam. However, capacity for regular monitoring of POPs is still inadequate. 2.3.10.6 Potential Risk Groups POPs have a tendency to bio-accumulate in fatty tissues of living organisms. They also tend to bio-concentrate as you move up the food chain. It is well documented that women and children are mostly affected by POPs. Children get exposed to POPs directly or indirectly through their mothers. The effects of POPs to children include the interference with normal development. Apparently, there are no detailed research and assessment undertaken to come up with the actual adverse effects of POPs. The most affected groups should be those people residing around the contaminated sites. The following groups are considered to be most at risk from POPs: a) Workers of TANESCO, ZECO and industries dealing with servicing of electrical equipment that are contaminated with PCBs and those containing PCB; b) People around contaminated sites with transformer oils, POP Pesticides, Dioxins and Furan sources, PBDE and PFOS; c) Communities in areas which POP Pesticides were used in the past; d) Workers in shops (wholesalers and retailers) and in stores of POP Pesticides; e) The general public who in one way or another may consume contaminated products etc; f) Children, Women and the aged people; and g) Workers in industries, which are operating waste incinerators and managing ashes, pulp and paper, paints, disposal sites etc. 2.3.11 CuRRENT LEvEL OF iNFORMATiON, AWARENESS, AND EDuCATiON AMONG TARGET GROuPS; EXiSTiNG SYSTEMS TO COMMuNiCATE SuCH iNFORMATiON TO THE vARiOuS GROuPS 2.3.11.1 Summary There are several policy and legal instruments that promote public awareness and NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 113 involvement on issues related to environmental protection. Several initiatives that have involved public participation were identified. These include Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Integrated Vector Management (IVM) and Integrated Pesticides and Pest Management (IPPM). Several information dissemination pathways exist that could be utilized for dissemination of POPs information. Some of these include print media, radio; television; seminars/workshops/meetings; school curricula; and environmental groups. Some of the identified gaps include:- inadequate database on initial and new POPs; weak information generation and dissemination infrastructure; limited awareness on POPs issue at all levels; lack of specific awareness programs for POPs; inadequate capacity and experience to manage and monitor releases of POPs into the environment; lack of POPs management guidelines; and limited information on the available BATs/BEPs to minimize releases of initial and new POPs. However, to address the above existing gaps, capacity building in information generation, storage, management and dissemination is crucial for successful implementation of the Stockholm Convention. 2.3.11.2 Introduction Article 9 of the Convention requires Parties to exchange information, facilitate public information, awareness and education (Article 10). 2.3.11.3 Methodology During updating process of the NIP for Tanzania, awareness on public information activities on initial and new POPs was conducted to public at all levels through media, workshops, seminars and training programmes. Public information and awareness-raising on initial and new POPs will facilitate public participation, including the civil society and the private sector, business community, academia, government organizations at national and regional levels, legal and policy experts and local communities towards the sound management of POPs. The survey among others covered identification of mechanisms and tools available for the creation of public information generation and dissemination and the educational and awareness programmes. The assessment was not limited to POPs issues but covered also other environmental issues in general terms. Specific measures related to chemicals management were determined. 2.3.11.4 Findings The survey revealed that there are several policy and legal instruments that promote public awareness and involvement on issues related to environmental protection. Several initiatives that have involved public participation were identified. These include Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Integrated Vector Management (IVM) NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)114 and Integrated Pesticides and Pest Management (IPPM). Several information dissemination pathways exist that could be utilized for dissemination of POPs information. Some of these include print media, radio; television; seminars/ workshops/meetings; school curricula; and environmental groups. Some of the identified gaps include:- inadequate database on initial and new POPs; weak information generation and dissemination infrastructure; limited awareness on POPs issue at all levels; lack of specific awareness programs for POPs; inadequate capacity and experience to manage and monitor releases of POPs into the environment; lack of POPs management guidelines; and limited information on the available BATs/BEPs to minimize releases of initial and new POPs. However, to address the above existing gaps, capacity building in information generation, storage, management and dissemination is crucial for successful implementation of the Stockholm Convention. a) Overview of Public Information Policy and Regulatory Framework Related to Environmental Issues There are relevant policies, legislation and guidelines to ensure public awareness and involvement in environmental protection issues. The National Environmental Policy (1997) advocates for public awareness information generation, dissemination and education as the most appropriate public participation to achieve sustainable environmental management. The Policy recognize that the major roles and responsibilities of government institutions and NGOs are to assist local communities to participate in the implementation of programmes, strategies and plans related to environmental protection in their respective localities. Local Communities will participate if they are persuaded that it is right and necessary to do so; when they have sufficient incentive, and the required knowledge and skills. Public awareness raising programmes and environmental education and shall be undertaken in order to promote informed opinion” Some of the policy and legal instruments include: National Environmental Policy (1997); Zanzibar Environmental Policy (2013); Plant Protection Act (1997); TPRI Act (1979); Environment Management Act (2004); Zanzibar Environmental Management Act (2015); Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act (2003); Occupational Health and Safety Act (2003) and other sectoral guidelines. With exception of the Environmental Management Act (2004) these instruments do not specifically address themselves to initial and new POPs, provisions on environmental awareness may be used for both initial and new POPs, at least for the time being. Other practices by Government and stakeholders in promoting environmental NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 115 awareness and involvement include: provision of motivation schemes e.g. establishment of an annual Presidential Award, to best performing mining companies in environmental protection and issuance of environmental certificates to best performing municipality in Tanzania Mainland and companies for the case of Zanzibar. b) Public Information Tools and Mechanisms Public information tools and mechanisms that are in place include: publication materials such as brochures, newsletters, booklets, stickers, fliers, posters etc; radio programmes; television programmes; seminars/workshops/meetings; village/ district environmental committees; commemoration of Local and International World Environment Day/ National Tree Planting Day/ Presidential Environmental Award e.g. Leadership and Excellence in Environmental Management in Mining; essay Competitions (especially for school children); school curricula; NGOs/ CBOs/ Environmental Clubs; and drama/ songs/ traditional dances. An environmental information centre has been established under the National Environment Management Council (NEMC), which provides services to various stakeholders in the country. More information centres need to be established. The plan is to establish 4 centres in Dar es Salaam and 3 in the regions. Research on POPs levels, effects and alternatives are important source of information to strengthen national information base for dissemination. In Government budget and poverty alleviation initiatives, environment is considered a cross cutting issue which need to be integrated in sectoral initiatives. Hence issues of POPs need to be integrated in such initiatives. A government website is in place under the Commission for Planning and Privatization which could be used to disseminate POPs information. In addition, the Vice President’s Office has a website which could serve for this purpose. The EIA guidelines stipulates requirement for public review. One of the procedural requirements for EIA process is public participation. The public may comment on the adequacy of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in terms of addressing their concerns and may raise questions that arise from information provided in the EIS. Normally the review involves putting up notices in newspapers, radio and public places on the intended projects. The public is given a reasonable time to react on the EIS. Their reactions are collected and are taken as inputs in making the final decision. For projects that have a strong public concern, a public hearing is conducted. This provides an extra opportunity for stakeholders to challenge a proposal with constructive exchange of information and ideas. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)116 c) Chemical Contaminant and Pollutant Release Public Information Programs At present there are no specific public information programmes for chemicals management. The existing public awareness programmes address environmental issues in general. With exception of the Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act, 2003 and the Environmental Management Act (2004) other relevant laws governing issues of POPs have little emphasis on public awareness. For example, Section 10 (h) states that one of the functions of the Chief Government Chemist, as the Registrar of chemicals is “to conduct public educational campaigns on the sound management of chemicals”. Section 46 provides among others for immediate notification of the public and relevant authorities in cases of accidents and spills related to chemicals. In addition, Section 48 (3) requires the GCLA to use some of its funds received to address issues of public awareness on safe handling of chemicals. d) Assessment of Existing Public Information and Awareness i) Capacity Gaps Several information dissemination pathways exists, however, the following gaps exist: i) Lack of database on POPs; ii) Weak information dissemination infrastructure; iii) Low awareness on initial and new POPs at all levels; iv) Lack of awareness programs specifically for POPs; v) Inadequate capacity and experience to manage and monitor releases of POPs into the environment; vi) Lack of POPs management guidelines; and vii) Limited information on the available BATs/BEPs to minimize releases of POPs. ii) Current Activities on Environmental Awareness Following are some of activities that have been undertaken in Tanzania on environmental information awareness.9 (a) Newspapers (i) Journalists Environmental Association of Tanzania (JET) does publish chemical management issues in most Tanzanian newspapers (Kiswahili 9 National Profile for Assessment of the National Infrastructure for Managing Chemicals, 2002 NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 117 and English). Feature articles, coverage of workshops/seminars/training, etc.; deliberations/recommendations in newspapers during sessions. (ii) The Plant Health Services in the mainland publishes a newsletter (MKULIMA WA KISASA) (iii) Ministry of Agricultural, Natural Resources, Livestock and fisheries of Zanzibar publishes monthly newsletter, the MKULIMA; and (iv) ; and (v) Newsletters by TANESCO, NEMC, CPCT, and NGOs. (b) Radio/TV programmes i) JET has 15 minutes per week radio programme (JET na Mazingira) on environment and related issues. The programme is broadcasted by Radio Tanzania Dar es Salaam, which is heard in the whole country. ii) Ministry of Agricultural, Natural Resources, Livestock and fisheries of Zanzibar has 15-min radio programme weekly, “Kilimo Bora”. The Department of Environment and Zanzibar Environment Management Authority (ZEMA) in Zanzibar has a Radio/TV programmes (MAZINGIRA YETU). iii) Mazingira Yangu Mazingira Yetu, a TV documentary on environmental issue produced by AGENDA. iv) “Sayansi na Tekinolojia” a TV documentary on science and technology produced by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education in collaboration with COSTECH. v) ITV Programme called “Afya ya Jamii” which is broadcasted every Monday. It covers issues related to public health including environment and chemicals management issues. vi) Radio Tanzania Programme (Tekinolojia) every Friday. Covers many issues including environment and chemicals management. vii) TANESCO radio programme “Sikilizeni Bwana Umeme” viii) ZECO radio programme “ Huduma za Wateja” (c) Training programmes In TPRI - Pest Management Training is conducted for pesticide fumigators/ pest controllers and retailers, 3 time a year addressing, legislation, safe use and handling of pesticides. ANCAP summer schools held after 1-2 years covering pesticide chemistry, analysis, toxicology etc, (d) Exhibitions Trade Fairs e.g. Saba Saba and Nane Nane Farmers Day NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)118 2.3.11.5 Conclusion Capacity building in information generation, storage, management and dissemination is very important for a successful implementation of the obligations under the Stockholm Convention and the related chemical conventions and international processes such as SAICM. Therefore the following is recommended: a) Capacity building i) Improving information generation and disseminating infrastructure in key institutions; ii) Supporting regular review of POPs inventories; and iii) Establishment of expert networks and facilitation of information exchange activities at international, regional, sub-regional and national levels. b) Database i) Establishment of a database on POPs and PIC; and ii) Providing technical information for use as reference materials in government departments and agencies, academic and research institutions and NGOs. c) Training i) Conducting training on database management; ii) Incorporation of POPs issues in school curricula; and iii) Conduct training on POPs and PIC issues to journalists, customs personnel, agriculture extension officers, NGO’s and other key actors in awareness creation. d) Awareness i) Establishing effective communication strategies for public information and awareness on POPs and other pollutants of concerns; ii) Improvement of existing information dissemination mechanisms. iii) Supporting development and dissemination of public information and awareness materials on POPs and other pollutants of concerns, in a common language; and iv) Supporting NGO’s and professional associations dealing with awareness creation activities. 2.3.12 MECHANiSMS TO REPORT uNDER ARTiCLE 15 ON MEASuRES TAKEN TO iMPLEMENT THE PROviSiONS OF THE CONvENTiON AND FOR iNFORMATiON EXCHANGE WiTH OTHER PARTiES TO THE CONvENTiON Article 15 of the Convention requires Parties to report to the Conference of the Parties on the measures it has taken to implement the provisions of the Stockholm NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 119 Convention and on the effectiveness of such measures in meeting the objectives of the Convention. Information to be reported include: statistical data on its total quantities of production, import and export of each of the chemicals listed in Annexes A and B or a reasonable estimate of such data as well as a list of the states from which it has imported each such substance and states to which it has exported to. Tanzania as a Party to the Stockholm Convention is committed to undertake various interventions that are geared to minimize or prevent further releases of POPs. In a few cases some steps have already been taken that have resulted into significant reduction of releases of PCB and POP Pesticides. Currently there is no local production of electrical equipment, which use PCB oils. The ABB TANELEC Company based in Arusha that manufactures and services electrical equipment (transformers, capacitors, switch gears etc.) is producing non-PCB equipment. Of recent all POP Pesticides have been removed from the register of pesticides. The coordination and pesticides management has been strengthened. NPPAC has been constituted and has several sub-committees providing the necessary technical advice. One of the sub-committee is PARTS (Pesticides Approval and Registration Technical Sub-committee), which is responsible for advising on pesticides management and control, registration and approval of pesticides. These obligations can be fulfilled effectively if there is regular monitoring of imports and exports. Effective monitoring system at national level will ease availability of data and information necessary for the implementation of the Convention obligation including: determination of the state of the environmental media and trends, determination of the effectiveness of measures undertaken to prevent further releases of POPs, determination of the extent of damage caused by POPs to human health and the environment. Up to now Tanzania has delivered the first (31/07/2007) and second (16/01/2012) national reports pursuant to Art. 15 under the Stockholm Convention. 2.3.13 RELEvANT ACTiviTiES OF NON-GOvERNMENTAL STAKEHOLDERS Civil Society Organisations-CSOs including Community Based Organisation (CBOs), Non-Governmental (NGOs) and Faith Based Organizations (FBOs) play a key role in the realization of the goals of the Stockholm Convention and other chemicals and waste related international agreements. In order to ensure success in the implementation of these Conventions the role that NGOs play is very important particularly with regard to advocacy and introduction. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)120 a) Civil Society Organisations The main NGO which are involved in NIP implementation activities includes: i) AGENDA Responsible for Environment and Development based in Dar es Salaam; ii) ENVIROCARE Tanzania in Dar es Salaam; iii) CREFT in Dar es Salaam iv) Crop Life of Tanzania v) TEACA- Tema Environmental Conservation Action based in Moshi Rural b) Professional organizations Professional organizations include: i) Cleaner Production Centre for Tanzania.(CPCT) ii) Confederation of Tanzania Industries (CTI) iii) Agrochemicals Association of Tanzania (AAT) iv) Tanzania Association of Women Leaders in Agriculture and Environment v) African Network for the chemical analysis of pesticides (ANCAP) c) Intergovernmental Organizations Tanzania interacts closely with intergovernmental organizations that are responsible for chemicals and waste related issues such as: i) The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) which plays an active role in chemicals and waste management. UNEP have supported various programmes/ activities related to chemical and waste management in Tanzania. ii) The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This is the principle agent covering pesticide use particularly with regard to the agricultural industry, which is its primary focus. iii) The International Labour Organization (ILO) steps in where issues of human health and in particular employee safety in work environments where POPs and other potentially harmful chemicals are exposed to the employees. iv) The World Health Organization (WHO) is mandated for the protection of human health. WHO has supported various programmes including carrying out research into eliminating health risks resulting from chemicals. In Tanzania WHO is involved in searching alternatives to POPs that are harmful to human health such as DDT. Working with these organizations is very important towards fulfilling country’s obligations under the Stockholm Convention.

POPs waste management facilities such as storage, transportation and disposal facilities are non-existent. Most of the previously existing stockpiles of POPs pesticides were disposed abroad by the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP) with the exception of about ten drums suspected to be a mixture of Endosulfan and DDT still buried at Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms. Generally, specialized services and facilities to manage remediation of POPs contaminated sites are not in place. Currently, Tanzania has inadequate capacity and mechanisms for monitoring releases of POPs to the environment whereas there is lack of capacity and experience for monitoring of PCDD and PCDF in the environment and humans. Apparently, there are no assessment undertaken to establish adverse effects of POPs in human health and there has been no continuous monitoring. Therefore, there is need for capacity building to strengthen the monitoring capacity for POPs assessment, measurement, analysis, alternatives and prevention measures, management, research and development. 2.3.14.2 Introduction The capacity for POPs releases management is intended to reduce or eliminate POPs releases with a view to protect human health and the environment. In that context, the government is committed to undertake various interventions that are geared to minimize or prevent further releases of POPs. There is limited capacity for monitoring of POP Pesticides and PCBs whereas for PCDD and PCDF is almost non-existent. This calls for formulation of national standards and procedures for monitoring of POPs releases in environment. Procedures for the determination of human health impacts need to be developed. A limited number of institutions cover POPS in their curricula, one of them is the Chemistry department UDSM which has courses on environmental chemistry covering POPs. There are institutions if given specialized training they can initiate and develop scientific research on impacts of POPs and promotion of viable alternatives of POPs. Such institutions include TPRI, GCLA, NIMR, SUA, University NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)122 of Dar es Salaam, Forestry Research Institutes, Institute of Marine Science, Cleaner Production Centre of Tanzania and the research institutes dealing with agriculture and livestock. The capacity of such institutions in terms of infrastructure and equipment for monitoring and training in POPs issues is inadequate demanding financial and technical support. 2.3.14.3 Waste Management Facilities POPs waste management facilities such as storage, transportation and disposal facilities are non-existent. Handling of equipment containing POPs, as observed in most of the visited sites, is generally poor. Staff working with equipment possibly containing PCBs does not use protective gear. Spillages during topping up of transformer oil, filtration and general services were observed in many sites. Filtration practices are carried out on non-concrete surface thus contaminating the soils, water and surrounding environment. No service bays for trapping transformer oil have been observed. Most of the defective equipment are stored in open-air non concreted surface. Others have been rehabilitated and re-used. Some of storage containers for transformer oil are leaking. Waste transformer oil is kept in open areas for those who need it, burned or discharged haphazardly into the environment. Most of the previously existing stockpiles of POPs pesticides were collected and transported for disposal abroad by the Africa Stockpiles Program (ASP). However, at Murbadaw in Hanang wheat farms there are about ten drums suspected to be a mixture of Endosulfan and DDT which are still buried. The Plant Protection Regulations (1999) attests that competent authority shall dispose of obsolete pesticides and their empty containers. This is yet to be operationalised through development of necessary guidelines. Disposal of wastes containing POP Pesticides (e.g. empty containers, contaminated solids, filters, residues from electrical equipment and obsolete/decommissioned transformers, etc.) is generally done haphazardly. There is need to establish national strategies for management of POPs waste and waste management facilities such as incinerators and treatment plants. 2.3.14.4 Contaminated Site Remediation Capability Tanzania has never undertaken remediation of POPs contaminated sites. Generally, specialized services and facilities to manage remediation of POPs contaminated sites are not in place. There is a need to build capacity in this area. Training in specialized skills, undertaking of demonstration projects, and provision of monitoring equipment are crucial. 2.3.14.5 Environmental Monitoring Capability Literally, there is no capacity and experience for monitoring of PCDD and PCDF in the environment and humans. Adhoc monitoring through studies or projects has been undertaken in selected areas for other POPs. There has been no continuous NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 123 monitoring. The existing institutional capability and capacity of these institutions in ensuring effective monitoring of POPs releases is far from being adequate. The existing laboratory facilities for monitoring of POPs releases are as shown in Table 2.

Apparently, there are no detailed studies or assessment undertaken to come up with the actual adverse effects of POPs in humans. However, there are few evidences on the effects of POP Pesticides to wildlife population in the country especially those living around contaminated sites. As the health sector has no specific strategies to manage health effects associated with POPs, the victims of POPs effects normally remain un-attended due to lack of prior etiological evidence related to POPs. Currently, there are only three occupational health doctors in the country. This problem will persist if specialized training in this field is not granted. 2.3.14.7 Information Management Capacity Capacity building in information generation, storage, management and dissemination is very important for a successful implementation of the Stockholm Convention. There are several databases in the country that might either contain information on POPs or be used to store information on the same. For example, national and international data on chemical safety is available at government offices such as Occupational Safety and Health Agency, Government Chemist Laboratory Agency and NEMC. However, exchange of information amongst relevant institutions is low. In addition, national mechanisms to facilitate improved information management as well as geographic information system are weak and uncoordinated. Improvement of information management may therefore be achieved by: i) Building up of technical capacity for information management in relevant institutions including provision of necessary infrastructure i.e. computers, Fax facility, E-mail and Internet; ii) Developing, facilitating and publicising the network for information bank in the country; and iii) Make funds available as contributions to international databanks for becoming eligible for news subscription. Location of national data related to the management of information and how to gain access to such data is shown in the Table 73. The table also indicates where the data is maintained, the source of the data, who has access to and the media in which the data is maintained.

It provides an overview of the current NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)128 priority POPs releases, and experience in monitoring of POPs releases in Tanzania. According to the inventory of POPs conducted in 2015, the priority pollutant releases are POP Pesticides, PCBs, PBDEs, PFOS and PCDD and PCDF. Some of the identified gaps in monitoring of POPs releases are inadequate internal arrangement and reporting system in the country on POPs issues; lack of monitoring standards; limited capacity for monitoring of POP pesticides within the existing institutions in the country. Few institutions, however, have a number of facilities and trained personnel that can facilitate some of the functions of monitoring of POPs. There are few evidences on the effects of POP pesticides to human and wildlife population in the country. However, recognizing that POPs have tendency to bioaccumulate in fatty tissues of living organisms, the following groups are considered to be at risk from POPs exposure: workers dealing with servicing of electrical equipment that are contaminated with PCBs and those containing PCB; people living around sites contaminated with POPs; communities in areas which POP pesticides were used in the past; workers in shops (wholesalers and retailers) and in stores of POP pesticides; general public who in one way or another consume contaminated products etc.; children, women and the aged people; and workers in industries which use biomass as source of energy, pulp and paper, paints, disposal sites etc. 2.3.15.2 Introduction The scope of monitoring of POPs chemicals includes the following: sources and releases of POPs into the environment; presence, levels and trends in humans and the environment; environmental transport, fate and transformation; effects on human health and the environment; as well as socio-economic and cultural impacts. Monitoring needs to be continually undertaken in order to identify and track changes in ecological integrity and function. This will help to update existing information base and guide new monitoring activity, and make necessary changes to existing monitoring programmes. 2.3.15.3 Impacted Populations Biological monitoring is being conducted in the large scale farms in Arusha and Kilimanjaro Regions in order to fulfil market compliance requirement and to provide advisory services on pesticide occupation. Surveillance mainly involved monitoring of organophosphate and carbamate (OP, CA) pesticide exposures through Testmate OP Kit in the field. From these monitoring activities, there emerging evidence that pesticides exposure to human health is occurring. POPs have not been assessed in NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 129 these studies since there is no current use of POPs pesticides. The three years results of AChE Testing (OP exposures) among sprayers in large scale farms of horticulture and Coffee plantations in Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions are as shown in the Table 74. Table 74: Results of AChE Testing (OP exposures) among sprayers in large scale farms Period Total Population Tested Population With Acute Pesticides Poisoning Percentage (%) of Exposure January-December, 2010 268 71 26.5 January-December, 2011 380 73 19.2 January-December, 2012 383 108 28.2 Source: TPRI, Arusha There exist, however, challenges that impend effective monitoring of health effects of POPs exposure. These challenges include; i) inadequate capacity of human expertise and meagre financial resources for carrying out comprehensive monitoring of pesticides exposures; ii) inadequate baseline data of the health effects caused by pesticides exposures and undefined communication linkages among responsible stakeholders; and iii) Health effects caused by pesticides exposures are rarely considered as priority at different administrative levels therefore are not mainstreamed in the development programs. The most affected groups should be those people residing around the contaminated sites. The following groups are considered to be most at risk from POPs: a) Workers dealing with servicing of electrical equipment that are contaminated with PCBs and those containing PCBs; b) People around contaminated sites with transformer oils, POP Pesticides and Dioxins and Furans; c) Communities in areas which POP pesticides were used in the past; d) Workers in shops (wholesalers and retailers) and in stores of POP pesticides; e) The general public who in one way or another may consume contaminated products etc.; f) Children, Women and the aged people; and g) Workers in industries, operators of waste incinerators managing the ashes, pulp and paper, paints, disposal sites etc. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)130 2.3.15.4 Environmental Monitoring The capacity and experience to monitor releases of POPs into the environment and to monitor and manage the associated adverse effects to health and the environment is still limited in Tanzania. Some localized studies are being carried out for educational purposes by individuals or institutions like monitoring levels of environmental contamination at Vikuge DDT contaminated site. Some environmental monitoring is being carried out through targeted projects like at Tengeru POPs contaminated site by UNIDO/TPRI project. Most of the areas formerly occupied by POPs stockpiles and their likelihood impacts have been identified and marked. The extent of their impacts to the populations in proximity and the entire environmental consequences are not adequately known. 1.1.15 DETAiLS OF ANY RELEvANT SYSTEM FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND LiSTiNG OF NEW CHEMiCALS The Plant Protection Act No. 5 of 1997 and the Plant Protection Regulations of 1999 provides for the pesticide registration process. The registration process also considers strictly the fulfilment of the requirement of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) to which the United Republic of Tanzania is a Party. The registration of new pesticides proceeds in an interrelated sequence as follows: i) Evaluation of registration dossiers containing technical data (toxicological, environmental data and analytical methods) of the product intended for registration. The dossiers are submitted by registrants and are evaluated by experts in the office of the Registrar of Pesticides, ii) Carrying out bio-efficacy testing using samples submitted by registrants for ensuring that the product is effective to the intended purposes under local environmental conditions, iii) Approval or disapproval of the pesticides through existing legal committees (PARTS and NPPAC) by evaluating the registration dossiers and technical bio efficacy reports, and; iv) Publishing in an official gazette a list of approved pesticides for public use following existing legal procedures. The capacities which are required for the purposes of improving performance and excellence in the pesticide registration process include: a) Additional capacities to carry out risk assessment of pesticides during bio-efficacy testing of pesticides. The risk assessment report which should include also the negative effect to the environment, human health and non targeted species may be useful during approval consideration; and b) Additional and continuing specialized training in the field of assessment and evaluation of the regulatory toxicological and environmental data submitted NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 131 during registration. Training is aimed at building human capacity in order to avoid registering POPs pesticides The Industrial and Consumer Chemicals Act No. 3 (2003) provides for the registration of chemicals, importers, exporters, transporters, storage, distributors, wholesalers and users of chemicals as well as related premises and facilities. The following are procedures for registering a chemical: i) Fill application form for registration of chemicals; ii) Attach Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), label and any other information as may be required; iii) Submit to the Registrar a sample of a chemical to be registered for analysis; iv) Payment of fees; and v) Submit dully filled-in application forms for approval consideration. 2.3.17 DETAiLS OF ANY RELEvANT SYSTEM FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND REGuLATiON OF CHEMiCALS ALREADY iN THE MARKET In the previous Sub-section 2.3.16, a description of the approach in monitoring of chemicals which enter the market in the country was provided. The procedure described above also relates to chemicals which are already on the market. The importation, manufacture and use of pesticides is regulated by the Ministry responsible for Agriculture through TPRI whose functions, among others, is to supervise and regulate the manufacture and formulation, importation, distribution, sale, use and disposal of pesticides in the country through registration, issuing of import certificate and regular inspection for the purpose of ensuring effectiveness of pesticides use in production of crops, fibres, and livestock and for the protection of public health and safety. The Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act No. 3 of 2003 provides for the management and control of the production, import, transport, export, storage, dealing and disposal of industrial and consumer chemicals in the country. It has provisions for the registration, restrictions, prohibition and inspection of chemicals. The Government Chemist Laboratory Agency (GCLA) has the mandate of enforcing the Act. The Environmental Management Act No. 20 of 2004 and Environmental Management Act No 3 of 2015 of Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, respectively provide for legal and institutional framework for sustainable management of the environment. They confer the role of enforcement to the National Environment Management Council (NEMC) in Mainland Tanzania and to the Zanzibar Environmental Management Authority (ZEMA) for Zanzibar. As of to date, a total of 21 regulations for Mainland NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)132 Tanzania and 4 for Zanzibar have been developed to facilitate implementation of the two Acts. Some of these Regulations include Solid Waste Management Regulations, 2009; and Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, 2009. The Tanzania Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 2003 and the Zanzibar Food, Drugs and Cosmetic Act, No 2 of 2006 provides for the control regarding drugs importation, distribution, use and dealing in drugs, medical devises or herbal drugs, clinical trial of drugs, drugs and poisons, prohibited drugs and cosmetics. Under these Acts, all importers, distributors and users dealing in drugs and cosmetics are required to register to the regulating authorities (Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority – TFDA and Zanzibar Food and Drugs Board respectively for Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar) and apply for any import license before they are allowed to import registered products. NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 133 CHAPTER THREE STRATEGY AND ACTiON PLAN ELEMENTS OF THE NATiONAL iMPLEMENTATiON PLAN This Chapter has two major elements which are policy statement and the implementation strategy for the NIP.

The Vice President’s Office will coordinate the overall implementation of the Action Plan. The implementation of specific activities under the Action Plan will be done under the coordination of the identified lead agency. A National Steering Committee composed of relevant stakeholders is in place and will guide and monitor actual implementation of the Action Plans. The Committee will also regularly review implementation progress of the Action Plans. It will also be responsible for making policy decisions on matters that go beyond mandates of one institution or those, which attracts interests of many stakeholders. This body will therefore influence decision-making policies at sectoral level as well. A Technical Committee with members from relevant sectors/institutions is also in place and will provide technical inputs and facilitate implementation of the Steering Committee decisions at various levels. The Ministry responsible for Agriculture has the mandate on agricultural matters and therefore is responsible for management of POP Pesticides in the country. TPRI NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)138 registers all pesticides and monitors importation and use. Collaborating institutions include NEMC, MoWLD, VPO, MALE - Zanzibar, UDSM, GCLA, professional associations and NGOs such as Crop Life – Tanzania, Envirocare and others. These will be involved in implementation of the NIP. Appropriate information dissemination mechanism need to be developed. Exemption for the use of DDT in the control of malaria causing vectors by Party countries is provided in Annex B, Part II Chemicals of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. There no request which has been submitted at the Focal Point of MEAs in Tanzania for the use of DDT. The Ministry responsible for Energy will lead in PCBs management for the purpose of elimination of usage and facilitating disposal of PCBs waste. It will work in collaboration with institutions dealing with chemicals management including the Government Chemical Laboratory Agency, University of Dar es Salaam, NEMC, importers of transformer oils and the Focal Point of the Convention. On matters of releases of PCDD and PCDF the VPO will lead. It will collaborate with all institutions that have responsibilities on these chemicals including those involved with trade, forest management, industries and waste management. These include NEMC, MALE - Zanzibar, TBS, Ministry of Industry and Trade, MEM, TANESCO, SFPC, Private sector and NGOs including professional associations such as the Institution of Engineers, AGENDA and CPCT, institutions involved in education, research and development will play a key role in research on alternatives, training, monitoring levels of POPs and impacts. NEMC will be leading on matters of clean up and remediation of contaminated sites, establishing disposal facilities for POPs wastes, monitoring impacts of POPs and information dissemination. NGOs will play a key role in awareness creation and dissemination of BATs and BEPs and alternatives of POPs. 3.2.3 implementation Approach The NIP consists of short, medium and long term actions based on priorities of the country which include: strengthening legal and institutional framework for the management of POPs, establishing schemes for monitoring of POPs, promoting adoption of technologies that control release of POPs and promoting public information, awareness and education on POPs. Implementation of the NIP will involve many stakeholders hence multilateral approach will be adopted in implementation of the action plans. Implementation of specific activities will be lead by the lead agencies. To enable actors to effectively undertake NIP implementation, the following activities are critical: i) Consultative meetings with key agencies on their roles and reporting NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 139 requirements. Also exploring avenues for mobilization of resources through existing opportunities to mainstream NIP implementation in related plans, programmes and strategies. ii) Training and awareness programmes on various aspects of NIP. iii) Availing actors the necessary information in support of NIP implementation. iv) Availing actors the necessary working tools including regulations, guidelines, manuals and equipment. It is assumed that: a) Sufficient resources would be secured internally or externally to facilitate implementation of action plans; and b) Good governance would succeed in implementation of Action Plans in Tanzania at all levels. 3.3 ACTiviTiES, STRATEGiES AND ACTiON PLANS This section comprehends the strategies and actions of the National Implementation Plan of Tanzania to meet the Convention’s commitments, based on the country’s situation according to the findings of in the Inventories and the intervention priorities that were determined. The implementation matrix shows information about the planned activities, expected output, indicators of progress, deadlines (short term up to 5 years; medium term 5-10 years; and long term above 10 years), resources and responsible parties for implementing this Plan, which will be reviewed and updated every 5 years, and its progress will be evaluated. NIP contains the following Measures and Action Plans: i) Measures to strengthen the national institutional capacity and the legal framework for POPs ii) management; iii) Action Plan for managing wastes and stockpiles of Pesticides POPs; iv) Action Plan for managing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB); v) Action Plan for managing new POPs of industrial use (i.e. PBDE and PFOS); vi) Action Plan for the progressive reduction of unintentional POPs releases. However, cross- cutting issues such as measures for contaminated sites, information generation and dissemination public awareness raising and education; and measures to improve the national analytical capacity, POPs monitoring, research, development and innovation have been addressed in the respective action plans.

These included among others: i) There is no comprehensive national inventory of PCBs, and follow up/ monitoring of previously identified equipment and sites; ii) facilities for handling of oils and equipment containing PCBS are inadequate, while disposal facilities have not been established; iii) There is inadequate legislation and enforcement of existing legislation on control and management of PCBs; there are currently no specific regulations on PCBs; iv) There is low awareness on PCBs and their health and environmental risks, and on POPs in general among handlers and stakeholders; v) There is inadequate monitoring and control of releases of PCBs and sites contaminated with PCBs; and vi) There is no database or information generation and dissemination scheme for stakeholders. 3.3.4.2 Overall Objective The overall objective of the Action Plan is to enhance the protection of human health and the environment by reducing and eventually eliminating the use of PCBs. 3.3.4.3 Priority Issues i) Developing facilities for disposal of PCBs; ii) Establishing legislation and enforcement regimes on PCBs;; iii) Developing programmes for raising awareness on PCBs and POPs in general iv) Establishing cleanup and remediation schemes/efforts; v) Updating inventory of stockpiles, products and articles in use and wastes consisting of, or containing or contaminated with PCBs; vi) Strengthen institutional capacity to manage PCBs in an environmentally sound manner; vii) Establishing schemes for monitoring, control and management of releases of PCBs and sites contaminated with PCBs; and viii) Enhancement of information generation, access and dissemination.

comparing the inventory findings with the Convention requirements and the available legislation, the following gaps and deficiencies were identified: i) PBDEs are chemicals in articles, and are newly listed POPs, and so awareness of PBDEs and the potential risks to health and the environment are not known among stakeholders and the general public; ii) The current regulatory framework for chemicals is not adequate for management and control of PBDEs; iii) The technical and infrastructural capacity for monitoring and control of imports and exports of PBDE is also inadequate; iv) Levels of PBDE in various environmental/ biological compartments such as in leachates from dumpsites are not known, in general PBDE contaminated sites are yet to be identified; v) Potentially -PBDE-containing articles and materials and wastes are not managed soundly; vi) Lack of comprehensive national inventory of PBDEs associated with EEE and WEEE; and vii) Lack of distinction between new and second hand products in the import/ export register. 3.3.5.2 Overall Objective The overall objective of the Action Plan is to minimize health and environmental risks associated with PBDEs by reducing and eventually eliminating the use of equipment containing or contaminated with PBDEs and ensure environmentally sound management of PBDEs. 3.3.5.3 Priority Issues i) Strengthening capacity for monitoring and control of imports and exports of goods/equipment containing PBDEs; ii) Monitoring levels of PBDE in various environmental compartments/media; iii) Establishing sound management system for managing PBDE contaminated sites; and iv) Enhancing awareness on management of PBDEs.

Parties to register for special exemptions and permission for acceptable usage for production or usage of certain POPs listed under Annexes A and B (able 1: Chemicals that are on the Stockholm Convention list) when alternatives for them do not yet exist or are not available. The goal is to enable enough time for the Parties to take measures for the reduction or elimination of POPs from deliberate production and usage. For that purpose, the Secretariat established Registers for the identification of Parties which have special exemptions and permission for acceptable usage of chemicals listed under Annexes A and B. Special exemptions expire five years from the date of coming into force of the Convention for a certain chemical, unless the Party provides an earlier date of the expiry of the exemption when applying for exemptions or when it is pursuant to Paragraph 7 of Article 4 where an exemption is approved, along with adherence to the provisions from Articles 4, 22 and 25 of the Convention. Acceptable use has no set expiry date, unless the Conference of Parties determines otherwise. The amendments to Annexes A and B, whereby the list of chemicals limited by the Stockholm Convention was extended to hexabromodiphenyl ether, heptabromodiphenyl ether, lindane, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, its salts, perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride, tetrabromodiphenyl ether and pentabromodiphenyl ether came into force on 26 August 2010. The Convention also enables the registering of POPs in objects of use, i.e. in chemicals which appear as ingredients of a product which is being produced or was already in use before or on the date of that commitment coming into force in regards to those chemicals. Tanzania will submit the following requests to the Secretariat of the Convention for entry into the Registers and Lists which are kept by the Secretariat: • In the Register of Specific Exemptions of DDT (Paragraph 1 of part II of annex B) which provides for specific provisions for restricted use of DDT in disease vector malaria control, Tanzania may reintroduce DDT for malaria control in endemic areas for emergency situation in line with WHO Guidelines. • In the List of objects in use (note (ii), part I of Annexes A and B), Tanzania needs to list: Fire-fighting foams, because even though fire-fighting foams which contain PFOS are not produced in Tanzania, the preliminary NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)164 inventory has shown that there are still fire-fighting foams which may contain PFOS in usage and in supplies; Consumer products such as textiles, including carpets, upholstery, paper and packaging, coatings, and industrial and household cleaning products which may contain PFOS and its related components, which were imported and are still being imported into Tanzania; Objects which may contain PBDEs (pentaBDE and octaBDE) like electronic equipment and automobiles which were imported and are still being imported into Tanzania. • In the Register of Special Exemptions (Paragraph 1 of Article 4), Tanzania needs to submit: Hexabromodiphenyl ether and heptabromodiphenyl ether – usage in accordance with Part IV of Annex A; Tetrabromodiphenyl ether and pentabromodiphenyl ether – usage in accordance with Part V of Annex A.; Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, its salts and perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride for usage in processes of industrial and decorative plating because of the lack of economically acceptable alternatives. • In the Register of Acceptable Usage of PFOS, its Salts and PFOSF (Paragraph 1, Part III of Annex B), Tanzania needs to list the usage of these substances for the following activities: for processing photographs; for photoresists or anti-reflecting coating in photolithography processes; for photographic coatings which are applied to films, paper or printing plates; as a tool for engraving for compound semiconductors and ceramic filters; as a tool for the suppression of clouding in the process of non decorative plating in closed systems; as fire-fighting foams; and for hydraulic fluids in aviation. 3.3.9 ACTiON PLAN: MEASuRES TO REDuCE RELEASES FROM uNiNTENTiONAL PRODuCTiON (ARTiCLE 5) 3.3.9.1 Identified Gaps By comparing the inventory findings with the Convention requirements and the available legislation, the following gaps and deficiencies were identified: NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS) 165 i) Limited data; ii) Limited information in such areas as unintended waste burning and accidental fires; production and use of chemicals; and disposal/landfill; iii) Inadequate capacity and experience for monitoring releases of u-POPs; iv) Very low awareness of u-POPs; v) Very limited application of Best Available Techniques (BATs) and Best Environmental Practices (BEPs);and vi) Limited planned information dissemination strategy. 3.3.9.2 Overall Objective The overall objective of the Action Plan is to minimize and prevent PCDD/PCDF releases from unintended sources. 3.3.9.3 Priority Issues i) Sound Medical Waste Management including build capacity (human and technical) on sound medical waste management; ii) Promote non-burn medical waste treatment technologies; iii) Eliminate PVC-Products in medical materials; iv) Develop regional – central treatment facility; v) Promote sound waste management for the municipal solid waste – using Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) concepts; vi) Conduct research on PCDD/PCDF sources and extent of contamination of the same in urban environment; vii) Develop strategy to generate information and data in such areas as unintended waste burning and accidental fires; production and use of chemicals; and disposal/landfill; viii) Develop capacity for monitoring of PCDD/PCDF; ix) Awareness raising on: sources of PCDD/PCDF /impacts on health and environment, impacts of PCDD/PCDF and need for their elimination from municipal waste management; sound medical waste management; sound management of municipal waste); x) Develop/implement municipal solid waste management strategy/ guidelines; and xi) Promotion of BATs/BEPs for the reduction of PCDD/PCDF emissions to the environment. 3.3.9.4 Action Plan The Action Plan has been developed to address gaps and deficiencies identified and highlighted by the POPs inventory results and is provided in Table 80.

is of key importance for the successful implementation of the Stockholm Convention. In regards to that, it is necessary for Tanzania to try to access as much funding as possible, under favourable conditions. Most of the foreign funds are necessary for the creation of a detailed inventory, final disposal of POPs, monitoring, and technical assistance and the transfer of technology. External funding can be obtained not only in the form of favourable loans and donations, but also in the form of equipment and the transfer of knowledge. International financial resources are required for Tanzania mostly for the following areas: i) Conducting a comprehensive national inventory of POPs including their entire lifecycle (PCBs, PBDEs, u-POPs, PFOS, POPs Pesticides and DDT); ii) Monitoring and risk assessment of the impacts of POPs on human health and the environment; iii) Conducting a comprehensive survey of POPs contaminated sites and carrying out remediation of the priority sites; iv) Phasing-out POPs including those that are still being used in various applications coupled with the introduction of BATs and BEPs; v) Development of plans for the adoption of alternatives to POPs coupled with the introduction of BATs and BEPs; vi) Transfer of knowledge, skills and competencies to institutions responsible for the monitoring of POPs; vii) Implementation of BATs and BEPs measures for the reduction of unintentionally produced POPs in the environment; viii) Acquisition of equipment/technology for the quick detection of the presence of PBDEs in goods including EEE, furniture and vehicles (such as sliding spark spectroscopy); and ix) Organisation of various training and awareness programmes for Regulatory Authorities, technologists in the industry and technicians. 3.4 DEvELOPMENT AND CAPACiTY-buiLDiNG PROPOSALS AND PRiORiTiES 3.4.1 Defining Criteria The multi-criteria approach was adopted in national priority setting where a set of factors upon which different measures to address the POPs problems that were identified can be assessed to determine significance of any particular measure. The basis for the proposed criteria reflects issues of concern for Tanzania with respect NatioNal implemeNtatioN plaN for the Stockholm coNveNtioN oN perSiSteNt orgaNic pollutaNtS (popS)192 to the Stockholm Convention obligations and sustainable development. These are: public health, socio-economic development, sustainability of interventions, technology improvement, environmental protection and relevance to Convention obligations. 3.4.1.1 Common criteria The applied criteria are as indicated in Table 86.
