Put in place an environmental management strategy that includes responsible monitoring and enforcement of mercury regulations, tracking of all mercury movements (from raw material to process to product to waste), and periodic independent control.

The larger wildlife species (such as eagles, seals) prey on fish that are also predators, such as trout and salmon, whereas smaller fish-eating wildlife (such as kingfishers) tend to feed on the smaller forage fish, which have been found in a study to have higher tissue levels of mercury (US EPA, 1997).

UNEP, as the secretariat of the intergovernmental negotiating committee for the preparation of a global legally binding instrument on mercury, recently ran that committee’s first session as a paperless meeting.

One of the report’s key findings was that some Vieques residents could have been exposed to high levels of mercury from consuming fish, although, according to the Director of the Agency, Christopher Portier, that problem was not linked to previous military activity.

She had also received a letter from the Head of the Chemicals Branch in UNEP’s Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (UNEP/DTIE) requesting comments on the Fund’s experience in technology transfer or technical support to developing countries in preparation for the next meeting of the Ad hoc Open-ended Working Group on mercury, and the Secretariat would welcome the Committee’s guidance on a response.

On the one hand, the product prices continue to fall, the final demand from policy to spontaneous demand, from individual projects to a regional demand, therefore 13 years industry demand would increase greatly, with the domestic communication and LED lighting manufacturers, 13 years industry scale of growth in 20 ~ 30%; , on the other hand, the government support, has recently introduced the semiconductor lighting industry energy conservation planning, and China gradually reduce fluorescent mercury content roadmap, broaden the scope of government procurement of LED products, believe that later will have more details, additional subsidy scheme for terminal, also is expected to be implemented this year, more than will form materiality benefit to the enterprise, improve enterprise YingLiMian.
