❗️ Within the project “Knowledge about Chemicals towards a Sustainable Community,” we interpret pictograms on chemicals and chemical products. ♨️
🟢 The general objective of the project “Knowledge about Chemicals towards a Sustainable Community” is to reduce environmental pollution from chemicals by strengthening the role of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in fulfilling obligations arising from the EU integration process. This will be achieved through youth education, providing initial inputs for decision-makers through well-structured research on the use and disposal methods of chemical products, as well as raising awareness about the dangers of this type of pollution.
