| dc.description | Malagasy population is exposed to health and environmental risks associated with the use of mercury-containing products such as dental amalgams, battery and lamp, thermometers and sphygmomanometers because Madagascar is still among the countries importing these products.
Madagascar has participated since 2001 in the Mercury UNEP Program. The Island has signed the Minamata Convention on mercury during the Plenipotentiary Conference of this Convention on 10 of October 2013 in Japan and ratified in national level on 10 of December 2014. The strong political of Madagascar to effectively against the harmful effects of mercury on human health and the environment has led the United Nations Program for the Environment to respond to the request of Madagascar on the project entitle " Replacing mercury-added products and promoting improved management of mercury-added product waste in Madagascar ". | |
