EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In order to promote social development Cambodia, as well as other developing countries, has significant sectoral economic improvement including agriculture, industry and health. These sectors development activities have demanded high volume of chemicals uses, particularly in the last 10 years. All chemical substances imported have been distributed to different places and different sectoral users. Therefore, the import of chemicals, and the data and information concerning its use, have been maintained at different institutions. Cambodia has no centralized source for chemicals data and information, and currently lacks a national document. The lack of information and data collection has created problems for chemical management in Cambodia, particularly in ensuring technical management to protect public health and maintain a safe environment. After Cambodias signing of the Stockholm Convention on POPs in May 23, 2001 the country affirmed its full commitment to cooperation with the international community in reducing, eliminating and managing POPs as regulated by the provisions of the convention based on the capacity of the country. Since Cambodia is a least developed country, the Royal Government of Cambodia has received financial assistance from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the United Nation Environmental Program (UNEP) for the preparation of the national plan for implementation of the Stockholm Convention, which will be undertaken from 2003 through 2005. The United Nations Environmental Programme suggested that Cambodia should pay attention to chemicals data collection (including POPs) in order to support chemicals management actions for safe public health and environment in the preparation of their national action plan. Cambodia currently has no National Profile on Chemicals Management. In response to the reccomendations of UNEP, the Ministry of Environment, with the support from main line ministries have prepared this national profile under supervision from the National Consultant and technical consultation provided by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). This action is considered part of the project preparation towards a national plan to implement the Stockholm Convention. The National Profile on Chemicals Management was prepared using existing data and information from governmental institutions and civil organizations related to the use and management of chemicals. Data and information have been collected and compiled in this profile to describe each stage of chemicals life cycle covering production, packaging, transportation, distribution, stock, use, and disposal or destruction. This profile provides an overview of existing legal instruments and mechanisms for managing chemicals, technical infrastructure for managing chemicals, and the nature of problems associated with chemicals. Prior to the drafting of the National Profile on Chemicals Management there was no specification of chemical import information and data. Cambodia imports a lot of chemicals for local demands, which is classified by group such as agricultural chemical fertilizers, pesticides, industrial chemical raw materials, etc. Despite the fact that Cambodia is unlikely to become an industrial chemicals producer, Cambodia's chemical waste has been generated from industrial production and a wide range of chemicals uses. On the other hand, Cambodia has high potential to generate unintentional POPs by-products such as dioxins and furans. For management purposes, Cambodia paid great attention to permission processes for the import and use of chemicals through the regulation of chemical substances restricted for use, and banned chemical substances for use. Cambodia has legal instruments that regulate the management of chemical substances such as chemicals fertilizers and pesticides, chemicals raw material for industrial production, narcotics, etc. Due to a lack of data and information collection systems, governmental institutions were faced with insufficient data and information to manage chemicals effectively, and to control the amount of chemicals for import, distribution, use, and disposal. Moreover, Cambodia has adequate implementation mechanisms among 7 main ministries for managing chemicals with the role and responsibility determined by the governmental ordinance (sub-decree) including: Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries, Ministry of Commerce (Department of CAMCONTROL), Ministry of Economic and Finance (Office of Customs and Excise), Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Industry Mines and Energy, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Interior (National Authority for Controlling Drugs). Related to managing chemicals, the Royal Government of Cambodia has developed three interministerial committees for facilitating and assisting the line ministries. These are the:
-8-
1. Inter-Ministerial Committee for the Management of Quality and Safety of Products and Services. 2. Inter-Ministerial Technical Committee for Industrial Standard. 3. Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee In charge of Facilitation and Implementation of the Basel, Vienna, and Stockholm Conventions. The above inter-ministerial committees have the role to develop and propose national policy and facilitate the enforcement and implementation of the international conventions and protocols related to chemicals management. In practice, these roles and responsibilities contain some gaps, such as a lack of an institutional capacity, human resource, and facility for chemicals analyzing in particular caused very limited data and information reliable. Of the above governmental institutions, the management of chemicals has involved the participation of civil organizations such as the private sector, NGOs, research groups and other national institutes. Stakeholder groups actively support national efforts to manage chemicals, and the aims to improve the sectors environmental performance in the safe use and disposal of chemicals to protect peoples health and the environment. However, stakeholder participation is limited and focused only on education and information dissemination. Cambodia also faces parallel problems regarding human capacities, experience, legal framework, and facilities and mechanisms for managing chemicals and information dissemination. Current problems include: Low level chemical awareness on the part of workers, farmers and public at large who are directly using chemicals due to limited education; o Cambodian peoples preference for the long-term use of chemicals throughout the country has created direct impacts on users, non-users, and the local environment; o Cambodia has no accidental data and information for accidents caused by the misuse / wrong-use of chemicals; o Governmental institutions do not have sufficient ability for chemicals assessment and the identification of chemicals-related problems in the production, trade, storage, use, and disposal of such chemicals. This is because Cambodia does not have a clear chemicals management goal coupled with a limited capacity for assessing chemical hazards and identifying their impacts; o Cambodia has a lack of good cooperation among laboratories and stakeholders responsible for managing emission sources of the chemicals and persistent toxic substances, lack of human resources in operating lab as well as technical expertise related to chemicals analysis and management capacity, and lack of reliable laboratories and equipment for chemicals monitoring and analyzing; and The governmental mechanism for information exchange, as well as relevant organizations for chemicals management, has not been operating smoothly in response to current requirements. o

This chapter provides general background information on the Kingdom of Cambodia in relation to chemicals management in the context of physical, political, demographic, socio-economic, industrial and agricultural characteristics of the country.
1.1
PHYSICAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC CONTEXT
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
Size of the Country o o o o o Climate Cambodian climate is tropical monsoon with pronounced WET and DRY seasons. During the wet season from May until October, rainfall is largely derived from the Southwest monsoon drawn landward from the Indian Ocean. The dry season, from November to April, is associated with the Northeast monsoon which brings in cooler air. Rainfall Most of Cambodia can be described as sub-humid according to the inter-tropical zone (lowland, mountain, and plateau) with the seasonal variation from year to year. The wet season accounts for 80% of the annual rainfall. The average annual rainfall varies across the country between 1,000-2,500mm. Rainfall in the central area covering the Tonle Sap Basin-Lower Mekong valley averages between 1,200-3,000mm. The heaviest rainfall over 3,000mm per year occurs along the coastal lowland in the west. From the latter part of July and earlier part of June there may be period without significant rainfall for ten or fifteen days. Winds In Cambodia, mean wind speeds are approximately 2m/s average for much of the country. From February to April, there are strong winds from the Southeast and this leads to relatively strong winds in Southern Cambodia. From August to October general turbulence in the upper layer leads to unstable conditions across the countries of Southeast Asia. In November to January, the wind moves to the Northeast and sometimes leads to a strong steady wind. Temperature Mean monthly temperature ranges from a minimum of 250C in January to 290C in April. There is a little spatial variation in temperatures. Temperatures higher than 320C are common and just before the start of the rainy season and they many rise to more than 380C; the temperature is rarely below 100C. Relative humidities range from 65-70% in January and February to 85-90% in August and September. Average annual evaporation ranges from 2,000mm to 2,200mm, being highest in March and April at 200mm to 240mm and lowest in September-October at 120mm to 150mm. Total Area: 181,035 Km2 Water Area: 4,520 Km2 Length from East to West: 550 Km Width from North to South: 440 Km Coastline: 435 Km (On the Southwest, along the Gulf of Thailand)
NATIONAL POLITICAL REGIME

Cambodia is a country holding the Constitutional Monarchy with three supreme institutions: a Parliament, Royal Government, and Judicatory. The Cambodian parliament is composed of 2 houses, which are also called the National Assembly and the Senate. Draft laws require adoption by both houses before they become laws. Senate
- 10 -
An amendment of the Constitution led to the establishment of the Senate as a body empowered with legislative power after the 1998 general election. Within a one-month period, the Senate reviews and makes recommendations on draft or proposed legislations initially adopted by the National Assembly. When a draft is marked as urgent, the review period is reduced to five days after first approval of the national assembly. Senate members have the right to initiate legislation. The Senate has other roles to provide coordination between the National Assembly and the Government. The Senate consists of 61 members. The Senate Chairman is assisted by 2 Vice Chairmen. The Senate meets twice a year with each session lasting for three months. When needed, the Senate can call an extraordinary session. The first term of the Senate expired in 2004 but was extended for one year, after which Senators will be selected for another six-year term. National Assembly According to the Constitution, the National Assembly is elected for five years and can be dissolved only under very specific circumstances, i.e. if on two occasions in twelve months, the Government has been a minority. The National Assembly consists of 123 members (for the third mandate) all of whom are elected by universal election, through a free, equal, direct and secret ballot. They may stand for re-election. The ordinary session of the National Assembly is held twice per year with each session lasting at least three months. If there is a proposal from the King, the Prime Minister or one-third of the members, the Permanent Committee can call for an extraordinary session. In between sessions, the Permanent Committee manages the work of the assembly. The National Assembly approves the national budget and state planning, authorizes the government to borrow and to lend, and is empowered to create, amend or annul taxes. It approves or annuls international conventions or protocols. The adoption of the above mentioned laws must be decided by a simple majority of all members. Royal Government of Cambodia The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) is the executive organ of the State led by Prime Minister. The RGC, governs the State and is in charge of the overall national policies and programs implementation, and is accountable to the Parliament. The Prime Minister is assisted by deputy Prime Ministers, Senior Ministers, Ministers and Secretaries of State, most of who are in charge of a separate ministry. The following Governmental Institutions required for those above positions are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18.

Judicatory The judicial power is independent with guarantees by the King and with the assistance of the Supreme Council of Magistrate. There is no other power that has the authority to apply the judicial power, only the judge can make decisions or judgments. The highest decision is held by the Supreme Court, and covers any court sections and levels, as well as all kinds of cases including administrative cases. Under the law on the organizing and functioning of the Supreme Council of Magistrate, only the Supreme Council of Magistrate can make a decision to penalize a judge for making any wrong actions. In addition, through the independence of the Judiciary, the judge must decide in complete impartiality, on the basis of facts that are presented, and in accordance with the law, refusing any pressure, threat or intimidation, direct or indirect, from any of the parties to a proceeding or any other person.
ETHNICITY, LANGUAGE AND RELIGION

The population consists of 90% Khmer, 10% Chinese, Vietnamese and smaller numbers of Chams, Burmese, and hill tribes. The majority of the inhabitants of Cambodia are Khmer, who are settled in fairly permanent villages near the major bodies of water in the Tonle Sap Basin-Mekong Lowlands region. They earn a living based on rice field production, farming, fishing, and in the central towns and cities Khmer people earn a living based on businesses, as construction workers, factories workers, etc. The permanently settled Cham villages are usually located on or near the banks of a river or other bodies of water. They trade fish to local Khmer for rice. The women in these villages earn money by weaving. The Chams who live on land support themselves by various means, depending on the villages. Some villages specialize in metalworking, while others raise fruit trees or vegetables. The Chams often serve as butchers of cattle for their Khmer Buddhist neighbors and are, in some areas, regarded as skillful water buffalo and ram breeders. The Chinese in Cambodia form the country's largest ethnic minority. Sixty percent of the Chinese are urban dwellers, engaged mainly in commerce, while the other 40% are rural residents working as shopkeepers, as buyers and processors of rice, palm sugar, fruit, and fish, and as money lenders. The Chinese in Cambodia represent five major linguistic groups, the largest of which is the Teochiu, followed by the Cantonese, the Hokkien, the Hakka, and the Hainanese. The Vietnamese community is scattered throughout Southeastern and Central Cambodia. They are concentrated in Phnom Penh, and in Kandal, Prey Veng, and Kampong Cham provinces, a substantial number live along the lower Mekong and Bassac rivers as well as on the shores of the Tonle Sap, where they engage in fishing. No close cultural or religious ties exist between Cambodia and Viet Nam. The Khmer Loeu indigenous ethnic groups are found mainly in the Northeastern provinces of Ratanakiri, Stung Treng, Mondulkiri and Kratie. Most Khmer Loeu live in scattered temporary villages that have only a few hundred inhabitants. These villages usually are governed by a council of local elders or by a village headman. The Khmer Loeu cultivate a wide variety of plants, but the main crop is dry or upland rice grown by the slash-and-burn method; hunting, fishing, and gathering supplement the cultivated vegetable foods in the Khmer Loeu diet. Houses vary from huge multi-family longhouses to small single-family structures. The major Khmer Loeu groups in Cambodia are the Kuy, Phnong, Stieng, Brao, Pear, Jarai, and Rade. All but the
- 12 -
last two speak Mon-Khmer languages. About 160,000 Kuy currently live in the Northern Cambodian provinces of Kampong Thom, Preah Vihear, and Steung Treng as well as in adjacent Thailand. Theravada Buddhism is the predominant religion of Cambodia, and virtually all Khmers are Buddhists. Cambodians are religiously tolerant and a number of other religions are freely practiced. Christianity is practiced by various ethnic groups, especially the Vietnamese, and Islam is the main religion of the Chams. Khmer is the country's official language. It is spoken by more than 95% of the population. French is also spoken mostly by older Cambodians. English is commonly spoken by the younger generation. The majority of Cambodians, even those who are not ethnic Khmer, speak Khmer. Ethnic Khmer living in Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos speak dialects of Khmer that are more or less intelligible to Khmer speakers from Cambodia. Minority languages include Vietnamese, Cham, several dialects of Chinese, and the languages of the various hill tribes. Generally speaking, Khmer has nouns, verbs, adverbs, and various kinds of words called particles. The normal word order is subject-verb-object. Khmer uses Sanskrit and Pali roots, but for some scientific language it often uses English or French terms. Khmer has also borrowed terms especially financial, commercial, and cooking terms from Chinese, French, and English. These latter borrowings have been in the realm of material culture, especially names for items of modern Western technology. The language has symbols for thirty-three consonants (twenty in the A series and thirteen in the O series consonants), twenty-four dependent vowels, twelve independent vowels (not very popular in use for this era), and several diacritics.
DEMOGRAPHY
Based on the 2003 national statistical year book published by the National Institute of Statistics, the Ministry of Planning, the population of Cambodia in 2003 is 13.8 million, of which 52% are females, and growing at an estimated rate of 2.5% per annum. Around 84% of the population lived in rural areas and 16% of the population lived in urban areas. Phnom Penh has an estimated population of 1.2 million and an annual rate of growth 3.5%. Regionally, the distribution of the population is highly skewed towards six provinces located in the central plains and around the capital, which contain close to 60% of the total population. The projected demography data in 2001 have been used for the projected demography detailed data in 2003.

AGRICUTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL SECTORS IN CAMBODIA

Agricultural Sector
Cambodia is an agricultural economy. Between 80% and 85% of the labor force is engaged in agriculture and related sub-sectors of fisheries, animal husbandry, and hunting, which contribute to about half of the country's
- 16 -
GDP. Cambodia's main agricultural crop is rice. It is grown on over 90% of the currently cropped area. The second most important crops are rubber, maize, soybeans, mungbean, pepper, and tobacco, etc. Two main types of farming systems can be distinguished: rice-based systems and multi-cropping systems. Different major rice growing systems exist in Cambodia: rain fed lowland rice system, dry season flood recession rice system, floating rice system, dry season lowland irrigated rice system, and upland rice system. Multi-cropping systems predominate among the agricultural systems near the Mekong River the upland brown and red soils systems, the black clay systems and the slash-and-burn systems. The agricultural sector has much potential and provides the basis for the country's development. The principal goals of the government in the agricultural sector are the following: to ensure available food at both the national and household levels; to produce surpluses for export; to expand rubber production for increased foreign exchange earnings; to encourage the production of raw materials for local agro-industries; and to improve the well-being and income of the rural population. According to various research studies by non-government organizations, agriculture production estimates produced by MAFF underestimate crops and livestock production by around 5.1 %; and fish production by around 20%. For more detailed statistics, readers should refer to the annual MAFF Agriculture Statistics Bulletin and the annual Fisheries Statistics Bulletin. Crops Production Most farmers in Cambodia practice subsistence agriculture. This form of agricultural production provides enough food to feed oneself and ones family, with little left over to sell to make an income or to keep for times when crops fail. Rice is a main crop production comprising 88% of the total crop values in 2002 (refer to Table 1.2). Economically, rubber, maize, and cassava cultivation has been the most important non-rice crops in the past recent years. Agricultural production and area is shown in the following tables:

Livestock and Poultry Production Cambodia has a few commerical agro-business farms for animal husbandry. Livestock and poultry production are operated at the family level. This kind of production improves local supply and provides meat as nutrition for oneself and ones family, with a little left over to sell to make an income for the family. A few research and breeding stations have been established for research and demonstration purposes.

The total inland fish catch for Cambodia in 2002 was 360,300 tons, down 6.4% compared to 385,000 tons in 2000. In general, the inland fish catch has decreased from 1999 onwards due to significant changes including overexploitation, illegal fishing gear used, environmental quality degradation, etc. Marine fish catch increased 9.2% from 42,000 tons in 2000 to 45,850 tons in 2002. Sihanouk Ville and Koh Kong fishing grounds continue to account for most of the fish catch.
- 18 -
The Royal Government of Cambodia decided to reduce 39.3% of fishing lots, from 270 to 164 of fishery concessions, aiming to conserve fish species and increase natural fish stock. Aquaculture fish production increased slightly from 17,500 tons in 2000 to 18,250 tons in 2002. Estimated processed fish production decreased 16.0% from 63,000 tons in 2000 to 52,900 tons in 2002.

Approximately 6-9 million hectares are subsidiary crops production areas.
1.3.2
Industrial Sector
Before 1993, Cambodia had very limited industrial investment. The investment in the industrial sector has improved since 1993, which is considered the basis year for industrial development in Cambodia. According to the stability of economical development policy in Cambodia and appropriation of investment law and other regulation and Generalized System of Preference (GSP) provided by industrial countries, industrial development has rapidly increased, especially for textiles and wearing apparel. Textile and wearing apparel, dressing, dyeing of fur, food and beverages are the main industrial products, comprising 24% of 2001 GDP. However, Cambodias industrial sector is in its infancy and is now looking forword to large-scale development in the near future.
Manufacturing
- 20 -
According to Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy registration data, approximately 27,475 manufacturing establishments (small, medium and large) were operating in Cambodia in 2001. Of these establishments, 274 were large establishments, 46 were medium sized, and 27,155 were small establishments or handicraft businesses.

Source: Annual Report of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy 2003 The value of production for registered establishments in 2001 was estimated at $US 1,466,000. The value of production by textile, wearing apparel, and footwear establishments accounted for 97.5%, followed by food, beverages, and tobacco establishments at 2.2%.
Minerals
The most recent review of minerals in Cambodia was carried out by ESCAP in 1993 and confirmed the studies of the 1950's, which indicated the existence of significant mineral deposits in Cambodia. Deposits include sapphires, rubies, alluvial gold, alluvial cassiterite, silica, bauxite, manganese, slate, kaolin, coal, peat, lignite, pagodite, and phosphatide. Mineral resources could play a significant role in the country's economic development. The mining industry in Cambodia is, at present, under-developed with little resource exploitation. The exception to this is the uncontrolled gem mining in the Northwest. Excessive mining in the Pailin region has degraded the land and is assumed to the main cause of increased siltation of the Sangkar River in Battambang. The first mining law was enacted in 1968. A new mineral law was approved and brought in official use on July 13, 2001. The establishment of an official mineral policy and legislation, under which minerals development may proceed, is an essential step in the development of Cambodia's mineral resources.
Energy
Energy resources in Cambodia include petroleum products, gas, wood, biogas, draft animals, and biomass. Energy from coal has been used in small amounts in Cambodias industrial sector. In the last several years, energy demand in Cambodia has increased due to the rapid growth of the economy and industrial production including transportation, services, and electrical power generation growth. Cambodia is a net importer of crude petroleum products and gas. The high volume of petroleum products are used for electricity production purposes, industrial production processes, and in all means of transportation. It is estimated that in rural areas, about half of all petroleum products are used in small amounts for household cooking and high amounts of petroleum are used for household lighting. The specific data regarding petroleum use by categories is not available. Data recorded for petroleum imported in 2002 is 688,000 tons, including diesel at 53.4%, gasoline 14.6%, and fuel oil 13.9%. Cambodia began to use import gas as an energy resource for cooking in 1992. Approximately 27,000 tons of gas was imported during 2002. This energy resource is only used in urban areas and provincial towns; for poor people in rural areas, it is beyond their reach due to high costs. Fuel-wood is the main energy source for Cambodian people. Fuel-wood is used for household cooking, providing about 90% of total household energy. Fuel-wood is inherently linked to all other economic activity such as sugar palm production, alcohol production, drying agricultural products, and brick production.
- 21 -
Cambodia faces big concerns regarding the unbalance between general fuel-wood demands, forest resource degradation, and the loss of multi-function forest reserves for this and next generations. Biomass has been used as a part of energy supply source in rural areas in order to reduce use of firewood. Draft animal and biogas have been used mostly for cooking and a little bit for sugar palm production and alcohol production at the family level. In Cambodia, the electricity generated from electrical power plants is supplied by fuel energy, hydropower plants, and solar energy resource. Most of electrical power plants use diesel and heavy fuel oil which generates 168 MWH, or 83% of total electrical supply. Hydropower plants accounted for approximately 11 MWH. Electricity generated from solar energy is small, mostly used for public light and rural household use. Among 2,188,663 inhabitants, only 15% of Cambodian household families appear to have electricity. For Phnom Penh, about 129.2 MWH of electricity supply was used in 2002 and estimates are that this citys electrical use will increase to 200 MWH in 2006. Electricity power in province towns and cities was 50 MWH in 2002, expected to increase to 173 MWH in 2010.
1.3.3
Summary of the Agriculture and Industrial Sectors
The employed population in 1993 was 3.9 million. The agriculture sector accounted for 81% of employment, with the industrial sector at 3%, and the services sector at 16%. By 2001, total employment had increased to 6.2 million. The agriculture sector accounted for 70.49%, industry for 10.13%, and services for 19.38%. In the agricultural sector, 93% were employed in the agronomy, a further 5.73% in fisheries, and 1.27% in forestry.

2. CHAPTER 2 CHEMICAL PRODUCTION, IMPORT, EXPORT AND USE

This chapter provides general statistical information regarding the importing and use of chemical substances and chemical products. This national profile has divided chemicals into ten groups: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Cambodia is a not an industrialized country, therefore production and export of such chemicals does not exist. In general, the above chemicals are imported and used by different sectors. The importation of chemicals by private companies to be distributed and sold, to support for production, and used in their own exploitation activities. There are also small amounts of chemicals imported by governmental ministries and other institutions responsible for experiments, analyzing vector born disease protection programs, for immediate intervention in pest protection, etc. Chemical importation required the importers to respect and implement governmental procedures and regulations as is described in Chapter 4. Chemicals are also imported and processed illegally along the uncontrolled borders of Cambodia. The statistical data relative to the importation and use of chemicals is insufficient and most of the data is not systematically gathered. The chemical statistical data in this profile have been collected from different ministries, civil society organizations, and non-governmental organizations. The majority of the data are based on sources from 2000 to 2002.
2.1
CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS
In 2002, Cambodian imported 45,334 tons of chemical fertilizers as summarized in Table 2-1 below. Notice that there are more imported chemical fertilizers than those listed due to lack of detailed nomenclature on chemical fertilizer recording procedures: those chemical fertilizers have been classified as other fertilizers of non-named fertilizers based on Harmonized System (H.S.Code 31.02.29.00) for instance. According to regulations, chemicals fertilizers importated and marketed in Cambodia must have a sticker label on the fertilizers packaging in the Khmer language. However, in real practice, a few chemical fertilizers have such labeling.

These fertilizers are used in rice production and agro-industrial crops such as tobacco, bean rubber, oil palm, and vegetables. No specific data related to the quantity of chemical fertilizers as applied on those crops exists. There are not many Cambodian farmers who are aware of the effective use of chemical fertilizers; most learn about effective use through agricultural extension workers and agricultural extension programs. For Cambodias farmers who are unaware of the proper use of fertilizers, paralleled with the lack of readable Khmer language labeling, financial loss and ineffective crop production result.
2.2
PESTICIDES
Cambodia is not a pesticides producer or exporter. Imported pesticides are divided into four main groups: insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides. In 2002, Cambodians legally imported approximately 200 tons as describes in Table 2-2 below. Besides these, pesticides importation also occurred by illegal importers active along the uncontrollable borders of Cambodia.

According to the regulations described in Chapter IV, pesticides importation must be authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and have to sticker explanation labeling on the packaging in Khmer language regarding the health and environmental factors affected by pesticides. However, little amounts of pesticides seen in local markets have the Khmer language labeling. Table 2-3 below shows a list of 419 pesticides on sale in the market in 2004.

- 43 Chemical Production, Import, Export and Use
As mentioned in Chapter I, Cambodia is an agricultural country where approximate 80% of the population rely on agronomy with 15% to 17% of the country under cultivation (2.7 to 3.1 million hectares) of which 2.2 to 2.3 million hectares is rice cultivation (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries 2002). Thus, if we compare pesticide use with cultivation area size, we could assume that pesticide use and demand in Cambodia is low compared to other countries. However, the main concerns with pesticides are the effects on human health and the environment, the lack of awareness among the public about pesticides hazards, and the safe use of pesticides. On the other hand, Cambodian people prefer and increasingly rely on pesticides and consider that pesticides as their partner to provide higher value in pest protection and increase yields. With the aim of reducing the dangers to health and the environment caused by farmers being unaware of pesticide use, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has developed and implemented a field school program at the local level on the most appropriate kinds of pesticides to use.
2.2.1
Pesticides Imported for Public Health
To protect Cambodians public health through the use of insecticides to eradicate disease such as malaria and dengue fever, insecticides including DDT have been imported and used. These insecticides are most often used under international donation programs, e.g. WHO and Red Cross. DDT was imported in the early 1980s from the former USSR and Holland; the stockpile was used up by 1991. According to WHO recommendations, Cambodia need not import DDT for malaria control program because we have alternatives, e.g. K.Othrin (Deltamethrin) for impregnating mosquito nets and Temophos (Organophosphate) for killing mosquito larvae. Insecticides imported for public health are summarized in Table 2-4.

2.2.2
List of Pesticides Permitted and Severely Restricted for Use
In order to reach effective management of pesticides and based on the Governmental Ordinance (Sub-Degree) No 69 on Standard and Management of Agricultural Materials, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries also developed the ministerial ordinance (Prakas) No 598 on List of the Agricultural Pesticides in the Kingdom of Cambodia. This ministerial ordinance specifically identified pesticides permitted for use, and severely strictly for use. The following Table 2.5 presents pesticides permitted for use, and Table 2.6 shows pesticides severely restricted for use.

CHEMICAL FOR PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTION
While there are seven pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises operating in Cambodia, most finished pharmaceutical products for local use are imported. The chemical substances used as raw material for drug production by these enterprises are imported mostly from India, China, EU, France, and Thailand. The importation of such chemical substances require a license from the MoH. Generally, chemical substances that have been imported for pharmaceutical production are listed in Table 2.7 below:

INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL RAW MATERIALS
Although Cambodia is not an industrial country, the industrial sector seems to be developing, especially since 1993. Cambodia has more than 300 operating factories relying solely on imported raw industrial chemical materials. The information and available data related to importation of industrial chemical raw materials has been provided by the Department of CAMCONTROL, Ministry of Commerce and the Department of Industrial Standard, Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy. It is actual data on imported industrial chemicals raw materials recorded by the Ministry of Commerce at the border. These chemicals are divided into four main groups: industrial organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, dyeing chemicals, and other chemical substances as listed in Table 2-8, Table 2-9, Table 2-10, and Table 2-11 as follows:

METALS AND THEIR COMPOUND PRODUCTS
This section contains a list of metals and their compound products used as construction material and other finished products. In order to improve public and private construction, industrial machinering, and other infrastructure, and to respond to development demands, Cambodia must import metal and their compound products such as iron, steel, alluminium, zinc, lead, and copper and others in finished products. The data and information provided by the Department of CAMCONTROL regarding the importation of metals and their compound products are shown in Table 2-14 below:

MINERAL FUEL AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
Based on petroleum exploration and research in 1992, Cambodia has a high potential for natural gas and a modest potential for oil. One test well has yielded 133,000 cubic feet of gas and 180 barrels per day of light condensate crude (first State of Environment Report 2004, MoE). A tentative estimate of total offshore potential is 28,300-141,500 million cubic feet of gas and 30-180 million barrels of oil. Cambodia has not yet invested in petroleum exploitation. Before 1970, Cambodia had a refinery but it was destroyed by the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979) and has not been rebuilt. Therefore, almost all fuel and petroleum products for local supply are imported. The data and information provided by the Department of CAMCONTROL regarding the importation of mineral fuel and petroleum products are shown in Table 2-15 below:

CHEMICAL PRODUCTS FOR CONSUMER USE
Chemical products for consumers includes a wide variety of finished products used for cleaning, health care and protection used in households, public buildings, factories, offices, trade buildings, etc. Almost all chemical products for consumer use are imported, with a small amount produced domestically. According to information provided by CAMCONTROL, there are two kinds of chemical products used in households and public building: soaps (powder, liquid, and solid), and insecticides used for insect prevention, such as mosquitoe coils and sprays, anti-termite substances, etc. Table 2.16 shows the quantity of imported chemical products for consumer use in 2002:

CHEMICAL SUBSTANCS FOR LABORATORY
Currently, Cambodia has six sample governmental laboratories operating in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries laboratory; the Ministry of Commerce; the Ministry of Health; the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy; the Ministry of Environment; and the Ministry of Water Resource and Meteorology. While these laboratories have difference functions and responsibilities (see Chapter 9, below), they all use chemical substances imported by private companies. There are also small-scale private medical laboratories that have not been considered in this national profile. Table 2-17 shows chemical substances used in these six labratories.

CHEMICAL WASTES
Cambodia only has light industry, such as food processing and textiles, so it is assumed there are only small amounts of chemical wastes generated. In addition, those industries are required by law to install treatment facilities for controlling slugde wastes generated from multi-chemical use, in particular from dyeing industries and cleaning, medical wastes from pharmaceutical production, and active agents from infectious disease. Quantative chemical wastes data is provided by the Ministry of Environment and summarized in Table 2-18:

PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (POPs)
2.10.1 POPs Pesticides

Among the nine POPs pesticides internationally banned by the Stockholm Convention (Aldrin, Chlordane, DDT, Dieldrin, Endrin, Heptachlor, Hexachlorobenzene, Mirex, and Toxaphene), DDT and Endrin are very popular with Cambodian users. Most Cambodian farmers mistakenly believe that all pesticides in powder form are considered DDT and all liquid pesticides are endrin. Other than DDT and endrin, Cambodians use other POPs pesticides (for example, chlordane and heptachlor, as observed in the markets) but data has not been recorded.
- 93 -
Based on data and information provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, from 1985 to 1990, governmental enterprises were responsible for importing and distributing agricultural pesticides consisting of 1.2 tons of DDT and 1,900 liters of endrin. Recognizing the hazardous nature of chemical pesticides; the Royal Government of Cambodia has banned 116 pesticides, including the nine POPs pesticides listed by the Stockholm Convention. Based on the preliminary POPs inventory results in early 2004 (as prepared as part of the development of the National Implementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention), POPs pesticides, including 350 kg of DDT and 59 kg of chlordane, are available in some markets, but stockpiles of those POPs pesticides have not been found, illustrating that a little amount of POPs pesticides is smuggled from neighboring countries over uncontrollable border areas.
2.10.2 POPs PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyls, PCBs)

PCBs are one of twelve POPs substances covered by the Stockholm Convention. In general, PCBs are used as fluid in electrical equipment such as transformers, capacitors, condensers, electrical switchs, cables, etc. Information provided by the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy and the Electricit du Cambodge (Cambodia Electrical Company) indicates that almost all electrical equipment was imported after 1906, when the French Electrical Company invested in the Cambodian electricity sector, and all products have continued to be imported. However, the statistical data on imports and information on electrical equipment use are rarely found because in the past officials were not interested in equipment contaminated with PCBs. After the Stockholm Convention was signed (May 23, 2001), under technical assistance from UNEP and funded by GEF, the Royal Government of Cambodia conducted a national inventory to identify PCBs present in transformers. It found 1,600 transformers in use throughout the country. These transformers were imported during different periods and continue to be used, as shown below: Pre-1970 1970-1983 Post-1983 Mostly imported from France and Japan with the quantity of about 300 (still in use). Within this period, transformers were mostly import from France, Japan, Germany, Yugoslavia, and the former Soviet Union with the quantity of about 200 (still in use). Mostly imported from former Soviet Union, Eastern European countries, France, South Korea, Thailand, Japan, Romania, Italy, and Vietnam; it is estimated that about 1,100 power transformers were imported during this period (still in use).
Among the recorded equipment, about 50% (approximately 800 transformers) are assumed to contain or are contaminated with PCB substances. Note that the first assumption of PCB contamination in transformer fluid is based on transformer classification by age, by use status, and by disposable test kits (PCBs screening kit). However, we are not able to identify PCB contamination in electrical equipment because Cambodia laboratories have very limited capacity for analyzing PCB substances. In Cambodia, there are no specific laws, legal instruments, or any provision for such legal instruments to eliminate or to prohibit the import, use, and disposal of PCBs. Currently the are no widespread guidelines for the disposal of old transformers and no up-to-date facilities for cleaning, stocking, and destroying PCB waste or equipment contaminated by PCBs. It is a common practice to reuse fluid from inoperable transformers and then extract metal substances for recycling. Of concern is the negative impact on human health and the environment when such recycled fluid is used to paint furniture, as oil for sewing machines, burned for energy supply, and other activities.
2.10.3 POPs DDT for Public Health Control

DDT is one of twelve POPs substances to be covered by the Stockholm Convention. In Cambodia, DDT is not only used for agricultural purposes but also used for public health control programs, especially to eradicate vector born diseases. The first use of DDT in public health was in 1953 as a pilot study in a malaria endemic area and was then extended, from 1955-68, to other areas to eradicate malaria. DDT was also used
- 94 -
during the Cambodia civil war from 1970-75. Data and information related to the total quantity of DDT used and the areas applied with DDT is not available. In the book The Pol Pot Regime, Ben Kiernan states on page 146 that the first shipment during the 1975-79 era was from Hong Kong, consisting of 840 tons of DDT. However, details on the quantity distributed and its use is not available. Since 1980, public health control programs have targeted Malaria and dengue hemorrhords fever (DHF) at the town and rural areas by using 20 tons of DDT that remained from the Khmer Rouge era. From 1981 to 1987, about 120 tons of DDT was imported from the former Soviet Union and Holland for supporting programs to fight against the vectors of Malaria and DHF throughout the country. DDT was also used at refugee camps by UNHCR (United Nation High Commission for Refugee) along the Cambodia-Thailand border, but quantity and exact areas applied remain unknown. Since 1987, Cambodia has stopped importing and stopped using DDT as a major tool for controlling vector born disease with the exception of use at rubber plantations, which stopped in 1991. The action to stop using DDT is not covered by any national regulation but based on WHOs recommendation in 1986 and alternative chemicals for vector born disease control, i.e. Deltamethrin, Permethrin and Pyritroil. Cambodia will not commit to any act in the future for reusing DDT. The exact quantity of DDT distributed and used is unknown, since no records have been found. However, interviews with former DDT supervisors indicate that about 143 tons of DDT was distributed to provinces and municipalities during 1980-87. The amount of DDT distribution and date, and other distribution information on the DDT delivered throughout Cambodia is illustrated in the tables 2-19 as follows.

2.10.4 Unintentionally POPs By-Products

This topic focuses on two organic substances, Dioxins and Furans, which are included in the twelve POPs substances to be covered by the Stockholm Convention. Dioxins and Furans are by-products generated during some industrial chemicals production processes or unintentionally produced by burning certain substances. Both contribute high risk to health and the environment. A POPs by-products inventory in 2004 showed that Cambodia has high potential for generating and releasing Dioxins/Furans from such sources such as:
Uncontrolled combustion process: Landfill fires, households waste fires, forest fires, burning of agricultural post-harvest residues, etc., Medical waste incineration without air cleaning facilities, Power generation plant, generating electricity by using oil and autoclave kiln operated by waste burning, and Ferrous and non-ferrous metal production.
Based on UNEP guidelines for calculation of Dioxins/Furans release, the Cambodian Ministry of Environment conducted the inventory to estimate the generation and release of Dioxins/Furans into the environment. The inventory estimated that Dioxins/Furans are released in the amount of 606.664 g TEQ/annual. The results of the inventory are elaborated in Table 2-20 below.

Priority Concerns Related to Chemical Production Import, Export and Use
3. CHAPTER 3 PRIORITY CONCERNS RELATED TO CHEMICAL PRODUCTION, IMPORT, EXPORT AND USE
This chapter provides an overview of the nature of problems associated with chemical production, trade and use, and the disposal of chemicals. This chapter also identified the priority concerns related to chemicals and its affect on public health and the Cambodian environment, which are serious concerns in Cambodia society.
3.1
OVERVIEW OF COMMON PROBLEMS RELATED TO CHEMICALS
In developing countries like Cambodia, the chemical importation, transportation and use which are of most concern relate to pesticides, raw material for medical products, raw material for industrial, hazardous chemical contaminated in equipment, chemical products for household use, and chemical wastes. In Cambodia, there has not been a comprehensive study or any estimates on chemical use and related issues. There is no identification concerning the amount of chemicals used or chemical poisoning in any area. Therefore, the identified problems or concerns related to chemicals use in Cambodia are based only on visible observation and conclusions from various documents but without scientific survey findings. It should not be concluded that Cambodia does not have concerns with chemicals just because its tools for chemical problems assessment are inadequate. Quite the contrary: Cambodian people face high risks and lack awareness on the effects caused by chemical hazards and chemicals use, especially those caused by toxic and/or hazardous chemicals in businesses, their communities, and their households. Cambodian people not only face dangers through direct use of chemicals, but also in residues accumulated in food products, which can affect peoples health. For the past several years, Cambodia has produced less rice than is sufficient to feed its people. Strategies to achieve crop intensification include the increased use of improved rice varieties, improving soil fertility, and improving irrigation. Often, the use of pesticides is encouraged to protect crops and increase yields. However, misuse of pesticides may result directly in pest problems where they previously did not exist. At the same time, misuse will further lead to health and environmental problems. In Cambodia, where more than 80% of the population are farmers, most of them use dangerous chemical substances for their agriculture with ignorance of the threat to their health and environment. Estimates are that chemical substances are used in greater volumes in Cambodias agricultural production than in industry. Many chemicals sold in Cambodia are banned in their country of origin. Chemical substances as raw material for industrial production and chemical products for household use have a detrimental effect on public health, especially workers in factories and direct users. Due to lack of awareness on the perception of the hazards of chemicals, vulnerable people, such as workers who are handling chemicals, hardly ever use safety equipment. Specific chemical household products such as cosmetics and insecticides are imported and freely marketed without official quality assurance and safety instructions; all too often, children come into contact with harmful chemicals. Some chemical products are directly applied to food and food products to make them attractive, to prolong shelf-life, and to prevent insect damage. In summary, Cambodia faces dangerous problems caused by chemicals for both peoples health and the environment. But all those dangerous problems had not been specifically identified with analytical results due to the long-term nature of many chemical hazzards, the lack of systematical assessment tools and facilities, and the fact that existing assessment results are based only on general observation. The following table provides a brief description of problems related to chemicals in Cambodia.

PRIORITY CONCERNS RELATED TO CHEMICALS IMPORT, PRODUCTION AND USE
Cambodia has a lack of chemical data, information, records of chemicals assessment, and base referencees for identification of the nature of problems related to chemicals. From the experiences of government technical officers in chemicals management and other general observers, the priority concerns related to chemicals have been identified and summarized in the following table.

3.3
COMMEMTS/ANALYSIS
Currently, governmental institutions do not have sufficient ability to conduct chemicals assessment and the identification of chemicals-related problems in the production, trade, storage, use, and disposal of such chemicals. This is because Cambodia does not have a clear chemicals management goal and coupled with a limited capacity for assessing chemical hazards and identifying their impacts. Basic chemicals data and information used in the identification of chemicals-related priority concerns are almost not available. Therefore, to facilitate the identification of chemicals-related priority concerns, the national mechanism for managing chemicals data, information, and recording of the marketing of chemicals and their use should be established. We have had already shown that Cambodia is not a chemicals producer or exporter; chemicals-related problems in Cambodia generally have little effect on neighboring countries or the region. Chemical pollution release sources and its proliferation are on a small-scale if compared with neighboring counties. Cambodia lacks strong cooperation in terms of chemicals management among its government institutions, for example, there is not a preference or commitment to develop a memorandum of understanding and/or significant agreement between the governmental institutions. Indeed, if such memoranda and/or agreements did exist, it would have relatively ineffective results due to unclear roles of responsibility, vague scopes of work to be performed, and insufficient resources for implementation of obligations.

Legal Instruments and Non-Regulatory Mechanisms for Managing Chemicals
4. CHAPTER 4 LEGAL INSTRUMENTS AND NON-REGULATORY MECHANISMS FOR MANAGING CHEMICALS

This chapter provides an overview of existing Cambodian legal instruments and non-regulatory mechanisms for managing chemicals, including their implementation and enforcement. This chapter also provides nonregulatory mechanism activities relevant to the improvement of chemicals management and the identification of the strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in these legal instruments. In general, chemicals consist of difference kinds, difference groups, and long cycle stages from production, formulation, storage, transportation, distribution/marketing, use/handling, and finally, disposal. This is a main reason why there needs to be participation and agrrement between the institutions managing chemicals. In another words, there has to be laws, regulations, and standards in place for the management of chemicals in each stage of the life cycle. Therefore, some laws, regulations, and standards have the same specific objectives and interrelation, e.g. transportation law, health protection law, and environmental law have the same provisions concerning the management of hazardous chemicals but the activities to be performed are different.
4.1
OVERVIEW OF NATIONAL LEGAL INSTRUMENTS WHICH ADDRESS THE MANAGEMENT OF CHEMICAL
After the first national election in 1993, the Royal Government of Cambodia was determined to reach to a free market economy for all sectors of the countrys development, including commercial and industrial sectors in particular. As a result, the demand for chemicals in the agricultural sector, in industry, and for household use has increased in the last 10 years. Based on the social development situation and in order to ensure management of chemicals for the peoples health and the environment, the Royal Government of Cambodia has developed laws, decrees, orders, standards, and other regulations for managing chemicals. These legal instruments provide measures to mitigate the negative impact that can occur during each stage of a chemicals life cycle from production, import, export, distribution/marketing, use/handling, and to disposal. The short-term preparation of legal instruments in response to the requirements of the country and associated with the limited experiences in both the legal aspect and the technical aspect in managing chemicals has caused some of these legal instruments to have gaps; for example, some do not have detailed descriptions regarding a chemicals control/monitoring, which makes it difficult to enforce the laws or causes ineffective compliance. Cambodia legal instruments for provisional compliance or problem solving related to chemicals management are summarized in Table 4.1 below:

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF KEY LEGAL INSTRUMENT RELATED TO CHEMICALS
Based on Table 4-1 above, we can see that while Cambodia has no specific law for general chemicals management, there are several chemicals and chemical groups (listed in Table 2-5, Table 2-6 and Table 4-4) that are regulated. Table 4-2 summarizes the procedure related to managing and controlling such substances chemicals. Legal Instruments Dissemination In general, the legal instruments after approval are announced by the Royal Government of Cambodia or by the institution responsible for implementation and enforcement through information announcement, copying of the legal documents, and declaration through radio, television, and newspaper. However, in practice the dissemination mechanism has not been comprehensively implemented, since it is impossible to disseminate all legal instruments to the society at large; most of targeted audiences are the governmental officials who deal directly with implementation of such legal instruments through workshops and meetings. Other relevant institutions and stakeholders received a little information disseminated only through the workshop or meeting and copied materials.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF KEY APPROACHES AND PROCEDURES FOR MANAGING CHEMICALS
The procedures for managing chemicals are divided into four main sections: procedure of importation of chemicals, procedure of exploitation of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, procedure of prohibition of chemicals use, and procedure of severely restricted for use. These procedures are determined by laws/declarations to ensure effective management of chemicals without negative impact on public health and the environment. Descriptions of each procedure are as follows:
4.4.1
Procedure of Chemicals Importation (Declaration of Import as for Quality and Safety Issues)
The import of chemicals (including the management of products addressed under other technical provisions) shall generally comply with customs procedures, but ought to be monitored for their conformity related to quality and safety of the products by a specific institution, (currently) the CAMCONTROL Department of the Ministry of Commerce. This additional control by this institution complies to the following procedure: 4.4.1.1 Controlling the Import Application (Document verification): This procedure aims to control the import application form that importers have to submit to the competent authority for cross border permission. The import application form for cross border permission and related documents must be submitted to the competent authority at least one week in advance before goods arrive at the border. The documents to be submitted to the competent authority consist of: Certificate of quality specification issued by the competent authority of the exporting country; Export license; Import permit from relevant government agencies regulated products; Chemical safety card of the imported substances; Bill of lading; Invoice; Packing list; and

Declaration on the intended uses in Cambodia. After receiving the import application form, the competent authority will control all importation documents; investigate the import companys background, and verify the chemical substances and products comply with national and international technical regulations and standards. 4.4.1.2 Controlling Products at Border Checkpoint When the import license is granted, the companies or transportation service agencies take the documents related to the imported goods and actual goods for the competent authority at the border to control goods. The controlling of the goods, before receiving a permit to import, aims to conduct basic examination including existing documents and chemical law and regulation requirements, and control on product labels, formulation packaging, physical characteristics of substances packaged. In some cases, the importation of goods has temporary entry permission with conditions as follows: Compare and verify the chemical quality and safety products with documentary claimed by importers and national and international regulations through quality and safety samples analysis after temporarily authorized to import and stock. Analysis of the chemical quality and safety products samples can be conducted in both internal and external laboratories as possible. Return to imported source origin in cases where the chemical substances and safety products contained are of unacceptable quality or are unsafe products as illustrated by laboratory analysis results with respect to national and international regulation requirements. Provide legal import authorization to importers in cases where the chemical substances and safety products are appropriate with national and international regulatory requirements and acceptable quality and safety products are to be illustrated by laboratory analysis results.
4.4.2
Procedure for Fertilizers and Pesticide Exploitation
The main objectives of this procedure are to promote the legal compliance related to pesticides and chemical fertilizers exploitation and trade and the improvement of fertilizers and pesticides management in Cambodia for both the improvement of peoples health and economic considerations. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is the authority responsible for implementation of procedures in pesticides and chemical fertilizers exploitation and trade. The Ministry of Environment is responsible for collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in managing the disposal of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in terms of safety for the environment. In order to receive the right to import chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the importers are required to submit the application to the competent authority for registration. Natural or legal persons who are or want to be in the business of pesticides shall be registered and authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Pesticides not registered or not permitted for temporary use by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries will be prohibited from import, production, formulation, packaging, wholesale, etc.
4.4.2.1 Registration
There are 5 kinds of registration for pesticidess:
Temporary Registration This registration shall be made for all categories of pesticidess mentioned in the notice of authorization to temporarily use by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries and being circulated for sale in market places. This registration shall be made for any pesticidess for which the initial registration is requested but the data or other necessary conditions shall be additionally provided according to the technical requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. This registration shall be made for any pesticidess for which the registration applicant has fulfilled every technical requirement of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

NON-REGULATORY MECHANISMS FOR MANAGING CHEMICALS
Non-regulatory mechanisms are focusing on the voluntary actions of private sectors. This kind of mechanism (for example, industrial associations, emergency teams, tourism exploitation associations, etc.) is very popular among developed countries, playing a very important role in contributimg to the management of chemicals with the governmental institutions. It has specific objectives in managing certain kinds of chemicals or groups of chemicals and determines the specific scope of work for their implementation. Cambodia has not yet established non-regulatory mechanisms for managing chemicals. But Cambodia has numerous private sector groups that have participated with governmental institutions through voluntary actions in public awareness raising, environmental protection through contributions of endowment funds, and in various relevant chemicals management campaigns.

4.6
COMMENTS / ANALYSIS
Cambodian chemicals management laws and regulations have big gaps, and the existing legal instruments also have gaps, in both general chemicals management aspects and management of specific chemicals group. The existing legal instruments do not adequately account for chemicals management during each stage of a specific chemicals life cycle. Most of the legal instruments have only general provisions and do not clearly define the role and responsibility of the governmental institutions and stakeholders. Existing chemicals law enforcement is limited. The wider question of chemicals management is also largely limited in both technical and management aspects which encompass laws and regulations. Paralleled with above issues, Cambodia also lacks human resources and monitoring facilities, which causes ineffective law enforcement. The existing legal instruments have not completely responded to the priority concerns of chemical related issues described in Chapter III of this national profile. The main issues are not covered by existing legal instruments; these are: chemicals for consumer use, safety measures in chemicals loading and unloading, transportation of chemicals, distribution/marketing, use/handling, and disposal and toxicity levels permitted in food products. Cambodia has developed several legal instruments in order to promote the implementation of the international conventions and protocols of which Cambodia is a member or is preparing to become a member in the future. These legal instruments under consideration include: o o o o o Law on Management of Industrial Factories; Law on Hazardous Waste Management (Basel Convention); Law on Pesticides Management; Law on Standards of The Kingdom of Cambodia; and Sub-Decree on Management of Substances Depleting Ozone Layers (Vienna Convention).

COMMENTS/ANALYSIS
The governmental institutions roles and responsibility as described above shows that there is little overlapping of responsibilities and obligations in managing chemicals. However, each of the governmental institutions has limited effective implementation of their responsibilities in managing chemicals due to a lack of human resources and inadequate equipment for the further effective operation. The low income of general governmental officers, which results in a low standard of living, has become a critical reason why the governmental institutions can not reach effective chemicals management.

6. CHAPTER 6 RELEVANT ACTIVITIES OF INDUSTRY, PUBLIC INTEREST GROUPS AND THE RESEARCH SECTOR
This chapter describes and reviews activities of non-governmental bodies and entities which support national efforts to manage chemicals that aim to improve the sectors environmental performance and safe use and disposal of such chemicals as well as protect peoples health and the environment related to effects caused by the current chemicals use in Cambodia.
6.1
PUBLIC INTEREST GROUPS PROGRAMS FOR MANAGING CHEMICALS
The participation of community, private organizations, and other agencies is the basic need for effective implementation of laws, regulations, and management policy. However, at the present this participation is focused on community waste management only. The lack of complete participation of those sectors is not because there are no chemicals risks in Cambodia. Due to the increasingly high volume of misused and wrongly-used chemicals, Cambodian people need to be aware of chemical hazards and risks and raise more concerns about the proper use of hazardous chemicals. In general, participatory chemicals management between the public, community, and other agencies is insufficient due to the lack of coordination mechanisms, human resources, and financial resources for promoting such participation.
6.1.1
Private Organizations Programs for Managing Chemicals
In order to implement the national policy and/or programs in chemicals management, there needs to be voluntary programs of action through the raising of public awareness regarding environmental issues (e.g. national and international environmental day, national environmental clean-up day, world water resource day, national ozone day, etc.) and waste management issues. However, the permanency of voluntary programs related to chemicals management is not yet established. Two private companies have been operating businesses collecting and managing urban waste, hazardous waste, and industrial/factory waste.

Non-Governmental Organizations Programs for Managing Chemicals
- 123 -
In order to achieve a chemicals management plan, the Royal Government of Cambodia has provided opportunities and facilitated for participation for non-governmental organizations through the support of their chemicals management activities. In fact, NGOs participation activities are a basis for the achievement of an effective implementation of a chemicals management plan developed by the government. Non-governmental organization programs for managing chemicals in Cambodia are shown in the following table:

Summary of Expertise Available Outside of Government
Outside of governmental capacity, Cambodia has expertise from different sources such as educational institutes, industry, the private sector, unions, professional organizations, etc. to support national programs and implement national policy regarding chemicals management. However, those services can achieve a limited scope of actions relative to their resources, capacity, and ability. The necessary tasks and services for expertise available outside of government are summarized in the table below:

COMMENTS/ANALYSIS
The Royal Government of Cambodias policy of providing opportunities for NGOs and public interest groups to collect data and information on chemicals management has not been developed. However, in practice providing and receiving chemicals information between government and civil organizations is broadly implemented through official and/or verbal requests, except for the internal information of the governmental institutions. Cambodia does not have an NGO and related association law yet upon registration, NGOs are granted a temporary authorization. However, the government has facilitated and encouraged the establishment and operation of all civil organizations in terms of chemicals management and development in the country. This participation can take a wide variety of formats including advisory, co-management functions, memorandums, agreements, partnerships, contracts, concessions, etc. In addition, civil organizations can work directly with the public regarding chemicals hazard information dissemination, chemicals concerns, and demonstrate the governmental activities in chemicals use to the public. For instance, the research findings of integrated pest management have been provided to the public through workshops, mass media, field school programs, etc.

Inter-Ministerial Commissions
7. CHAPTER 7 INTER-MINISTERIAL COMMISSIONS

This chapter describes and analyzes mechanisms which facilitate co-ordination and co-operation among ministries, agencies and other relevant governmental and non-governmental bodies in particular areas of chemicals management. This chapter also provides information about the inter-ministerial commissions related to chemicals management and provides the goals and mandate of the inter-ministerial commissions.
7.1
INTER-MINISTERIAL COMMISSIONS
Chapters 4, 5, and 6 discussed the many institutions having direct or indirect dealings with chemicals management. Even though each of these institutions has specific or individual roles and responsibilities, there are still gaps some activities cannot be resolved by any one institution, e.g. the implementation of national policy, international conventions and protocols, regional agreements, study research, conflict resolution, and so on. In order to solve the above problems and promote effective implementation of chemicals management policy and technique, the coordination mechanism for managing chemicals has been established under two forms: the inter-ministerial commissions and technical working groups. Inter-ministerial commissions and other coordination mechanisms have been established for promoting cooperation between governmental institutions, civil organizations, and stakeholders and for facilitating effective chemicals management. The inter-ministerial commissions have three main functions: a b c Facilitate and assist line ministries in managing chemicals and other procedures; Facilitate, review, and advise line ministries in preparing a national chemicals management plan; and Facilitate chemicals management information and technological exchange among governmental institutions, civil organizations, and stakeholders.
Related to managing chemicals, the Royal Government of Cambodia has developed three inter-ministerial committees for facilitating and assisting the line ministries. These are the: Inter-Ministerial Committee for the Management of Quality and Safety of Products and Services. Inter-Ministerial Technical Committee for Industrial Standard. Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee in charge of Facilitation and Implementation of the Basel, Vienna, and Stockholm Conventions.
The membership and responsibility of above three inter-ministerial committees regarding chemicals management is described in Table 7-1.

Rank between 1 and 3: excellent (1), adequate (2), or poor (3).
The inter-ministerial committees and coordination mechanisms described above have been established under the national central level, and the members of these inter-ministerial committees and coordination mechanisms have participated from relevant governmental institutions, NGOs, and other national institutes. In general, the chairmanship will be provided to the ministry that is the focal point of committee activities. The inter-ministerial committees have a permanent mandate and the membership of each member in each committee is also permanently valid except it is subject to any request for change from the line ministries or from the inter-ministerial committees. Other than the chairmanship of each committee, the focal point ministry also provides a secretariat for the inter-ministerial committees and coordination mechanisms. Furthermore, in order to assist the interministerial committees and coordination mechanisms on technical aspects, technical working groups will be established as required, with the membership invited from relevant institutions following the proposal of the chairman of the committee. Detailed roles and responsibilities of the inter-ministerial committees and coordination mechanisms in managing chemicals have been determined by the governmental ordinance (sub-decree) or by the ministerial ordinance (declaration) of the focal point ministry. In practice, these roles and responsibilities contain some gaps, such as a lack of a mechanism for receiving public comments as well as feedback from the stakeholders in chemicals management policy development and decision making process. Experience in Cambodia indicates that unless chemical importers and users are involved in dialogue with the government on chemicals management policy, legislation, and management issues, they will tend to do all in their power to ignore what they perceive as inappropriate government initiatives.
7.2
MECHANISMS FOR OBTAINING INPUT FROM NON-GOVERNMENTAL BODIES
Related to the three inter-ministerial committees and coordination mechanisms outlined above, Cambodia has opened the participation of public to include:
7.2.1
Non-Governmental Organization Involvement (Civil Organization)
Only a few Cambodia non-government organizations operate in the field of chemicals management. Most of these NGOs service involves monitoring and following-up on the implementation of governmental policy regarding chemicals management, and collecting information related to chemicals use and subsequent effects on the health of people and the environment; often they make policy recommendations to governmental institutions for consideration and solution. The core service of these organizations is to be active in raising awareness to the farmers regarding safe use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In summary, the participation of civil organizations related to chemicals management is not active but is smallscale at both the community level and public chemicals advocacy roles with governmental policy and management dialogue.
7.2.2
Public Participation
Cambodia has provided opportunities for public participation especially in flowing ideas, giving information on chemicals use, and accidents caused by chemical substances. Presently, the public are very interested in health care and concerned with chemicals-related health effects.
7.3
COMMENTS/ANALYSIS
There is ineffective implementation of roles and responsibilities of the existing committees and coordination mechanisms due to insufficient experiences, inadequate financial resources, and poor mechanism for supporting the operation of the committees. This means that the operation of the secretariat and working groups of the committees is mostly inactive. Most importantly, the operation of the committees and coordination mechanism has little support from governmental politicians.
- 130 -
Most of the members in the committees and coordination mechanism have participated only by providing information or comments through the meeting requested by the committees. The committees have also not been conducting meetings or efforts by working through specific schedules they will work when necessary and have time. In general, the existing duty of the committees has not covered all chemicals-related issues, only focusing on chemicals accumulated in food products, standards of chemicals accumulated in industrial products, and chemical substances considered by international conventions. In order to improve general chemicals management, Cambodia shall establish additional coordination mechanisms or extend the roles and responsibilities of the existing mechanisms in managing all kinds of chemicals and all stages of the chemicals life cycle. The reason why we need to upgrade the coordination mechanisms is because the existing mechanisms work in isolation and rarely make information exchanges with other stakeholders. The information exchange from one mechanism to another can be made through requests, copied or reprinted amterial, and handouts. Each of mechanisms absolutely lacks a communication system for implementation of their mandate as well as chemicals information exchange and sharing working experience.

Data Access and Use
8. CHAPTER 8 DATA ACCESS AND USE

Here you shall find an overview of the available data for chemicals management and the related infrastructure, and an analysis of how information is used for local and national chemical risk reduction.
8.1
AVAILABILITY OF DATA FOR NATIONAL CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT
The collection and compiling of data and information related to chemicals management is of little consideration due to insufficient resources, lack of researching programs, and a poor information management strategy. The compilling of the technical data and information related to chemicals management is not of interest to institutions; consequently Cambodia lacks reliable data and information for current as well as future use. In addition, existing data and information is not broadly disseminated to the public and most of data and information is kept by the respective governmental institution. However, chemicals data and information exchange between governmental entities and between governmental institutions and civil organizations can be requested in the form of printed documents. Governmental printed documents are published mostly as annual reports, observation reports, and survey reports. Those documents rarely detail the problems related to chemical substances, typically only describing technical issues of the institution. Table 8-1 lists the types of printed documents related to chemical substances that are available.

LOCATION OF NATIONAL DATA
For data retrival and dissemination, there is no formalized coordination between government agencies, NGOs, educational institution libraries, and the national library. For the most part, entities maintain their own documents and computer files specific to their own organization. However, there is no standardized system for document coding or library management, even within individual organizations. In fact, the technical documents prepared by any technical institution have not been broadly disseminated to other institutions, except when requested from other relevant institutions. Cambodia has just only one national library and a few educational institutions libraries, but printed documents have never been sent to the national library or any library belonging to the educational institutions. In the meantime, Cambodia lacks statistical records related to document readers or researchers regarding who has access, what kinds of documents they have accessed, how many documents are needed for accessing, etc. Electronic files are poorly maintained since most organizastions lack funds for proper computer equipment; Information Technology management is almost non-existent. Internet access is available, both internally and externally via Internet Cafs (used extensively), but Web homepages have not been broadly implememted. Table 8-2 shows what and where national data is stored.

Note: The reader should keep in mind the above limitations regarding location of national data and information. Within some sectors, the majority of materials are
not subject to chemicals management reporting because they are not considered manufacturing industries, or because they are below chemicals management reporting thresholds. Examples are mining, dry cleaning, etc. For these data and information, POPs release information from other sources has not been included. The reader should also be aware that data and information presented within this profile is not equivalent to a real problems ranking for each industrial sector or the agriculture sector.
Data Access and Use
8.3
PROCEDURES FOR COLLECTING AND DISSEMINATING NATIONAL/LOCAL DATA
Cambodia has no specific regulations for data collection or dissemination of data related to chemicals management. In general, the governmental institutions have collected the chemicals data according to their own institutional requirements and collected data and information has not been broadly disseminated for the public. Cambodia has never systematically collected, compiled, or kept data or information related to the chemicals that affect human health and the environment. For instance, the workers of some garment factories are often exposed to noxious chemicals but the detailed study or investigation of these incidents or the toxicity of any substance has not been made; they have only been provided the simple report or notice regarding the accident. The governmental civil institutions are responsible for writing the toxicity report and this involves the participation of police officers, public health agents, labor and vocational training officers. Data and information collection methodology related to chemicals management can be made through informal or formal approaches. Formal social research methods include surveys, studies based on observations of behavior, and controlled experiments. The informal approach could involve the following methods: Observing community and/or governmental members who are to participate in some project and/or some related activities; Conduct direct survey and case studies; Use of key people in the community and/or governmental ministries to provide information; Conduct group discussions; and Conduct individual interviews.
8.4
AVAILABILITY OF INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE
Most information related to international literature can be accessed via consultation with international organizations that are working within the field of chemicals management or can be found through libraries and/or bookshops. Cambodians also use the Internet, so most information related to international literature can be accessed online. Table 8-3, below, summarizes the international literature accessible in Cambodia.

NATIONAL INFORMATION EXCHANGE SYSTEMS
The Royal Government of Cambodia recently established the ministerial information exchange network as a primary means of meeting the Cambodian information dissemination and outreach objectives. The network is managed by the National Information Communication Technology Development Authority (NIDA) which was established by Royal Decree on August 23, 2000. For information regarding chemicals management, the Royal Government of Cambodia will continue to provide the Cambodian public with online access to relevant chemical technical or legal information by operating, maintaining, and expanding, as appropriate, after completion of chemical substances and POPs existing Cambodian databases. Notice that the flow of information between international organizations and their partners in Cambodia occurs independently in each institution in accordance with its sectors of activity and of interest. Although the government established the information network, national information exchange between various ministerial and public interest groups and NGOs are not always through the network. It is most popular to operate through different aspects including official and unofficial meetings, workshops, training, project implementation, media programs, coordination mechanisms, and publications in terms of general information as well as sound chemicals management. This approach is intended to work as an interface for information exchange to improve cooperation among government institutions and the public. Numerous public and private Internet sites are in development, which contain information relevant to government institutions and the public.
- 139 -
The government will coordinate and build on those efforts to make information available in the technology and format compatible with the needs of the widest range of the Cambodian public as possible. The government has been considering and must monitor, evaluate, consolidate, and update this chemicals management information.
8.7
COMMENTS/ANALYSIS
The chemicals management information are identified where greater inter-ministerial cooperation would be mutually beneficial, but where a dialogue is difficult to initiate for a number reasons. Tradition line ministries are reluctant to share information. Therefore, they have conducted data gathering independently by each ministry responsible and keep away from common benefit. Without passing the consultation process, chemicals data and information gathered could have some variably and overlapping. As mentioned about the national information exchange system, the state information network has just been established but it is not possible to access the existing chemicals management databases and it is impossible to find information or query through this network. The existing chemicals information is maintained in six main ministries: Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries, Ministry of Commerce (Department of CAMCONTROL), Ministry of Economic and Finance (Department of Custom and Exsice), Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Industry Mines and Energy. The medium-term objective of a chemicals information network is to create systematic information exchange with public accessibility and experiences that are important for preparation of the national chemicals implementation plan, chemicals impact assessment, and improvement of coordination of chemicals project management. From the governmental viewpoint, the chemicals information gathered in this profile and other information maintained in relevant ministries will be entered to a computer(s) and shared in the governmental information network. The quality of chemicals information will be considered. The capacity building for chemicals information management and technology is considered a top priority for access to the national and the international database in a broadly open policy.

Technical Infrastructure
9. CHAPTER 9 TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

This chapter provides an overview of the technical infrastructure related to analysing chemicals and chemical products. It also provides information related to information systems and computer capacity of national laboratories and professional training programs related to chemicals management.
9.1
OVERVIEW OF LABORATORY INFRASTRUCTURE
Regarding the technical infrastructure for analysing chemicals and chemical products, Cambodia has six main governmental laboratories located in the Ministry of Agriculture Forestry And Fisheries, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Health, And Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy, and Ministry of Water Resource And Meteorology. Cambodia has been focusing on strengthening capacity for laboratory through upgrading equipment and other facilities, human resource development options, and promoting the role and responsibility in accuracy of chemicals analysis and management. Despite this, those laboratories capability improvements that have been assisted by the government and donor organizations still have limited capacity for both laboratories facilities and technical analysis. This needs to be urgently solved and requires the good will of the government to promote the controlling and managing chemicals and to ensure safe health and the environment. The current role and responsibility of each of six chemicals laboratories is summarized below:
9.1.1
Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
The Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is under administrative management of the Department of Agronomy responsible for improving agricultural production through providing technical services and operating activity in agricultural soil quality analysis, fertilizers quality, pesticides formulation and residue analysis. The fertilizer and pesticides analysis provide technical data to support pesticides and fertilizer registration and control. These data are useful for developing training courses for farmers who are the direct users of those chemicals.
9.1.2
Laboratory of the Ministry of Commerce
The Laboratory of the Ministry of Commerce is under the administrative management and execution of the Department of CAMCONTROL and is responsible for improving the quality of all economical goods involved in import/export and trafficking processes in the Kingdom of Cambodia through foods, chemicals and consumers products analysis for effective law enforcement and related services.
9.1.3
Laboratory of the Ministry of Environment
The Laboratory of the Ministry of Environment is under the administrative management and execution of the Department of Environmental Pollution Control and is responsible for supporting action in environmental quality control and assessment of environmental pollutants caused by general waste generation source. In general, this lab plays the active role in chemicals waste control, environmental quality monitoring, and biological sample analysis for biological conservation purposes.
9.1.4
Laboratory of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy
The Laboratory of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy is under the administrative management and execution of the Department of Industrial Technique and is responsible for controlling and upgrading the quality of industrial local products and also is able to analyze industrial liquid waste. This lab works closely with all industrial sectors in Cambodia to analyze industrial products quality and participates in standardization monitoring based on the rules and regulations regarding the industrial management.
- 141 -
9.1.5
National Laboratory of the Ministry of Health
The National Laboratory of the Ministry of Health is under the administrative management and execution of the Department of Drugs and Food Quality Control, specifically responsible for medical quality control by focusing on all chemical substances to be used for pharmaceutical production purposes. This lab plays a very essential role in both drugs and food quality analysis, medical analysis based on legal requirement regarding the peoples health care, and the effective management of drugs.
9.1.6
Laboratory of the Ministry of Water Resource and Meteorology
The Laboratory of the Ministry of Water Resource and Meteorology is under the administrative management and execution of the Department of Hydrology, and is responsible for chemical identification contained in water and soil resources (commonly referred to as quality control). This lab provides service to all relevant Cambodian sectors working in public water and soil resources quality. The lab provides service and supports the importance of developing the strategy for exploring water and soil resources management and receives all requests from the relevant sectors in order to analyze the quality of water and soil resources. Based on the role and responsibility of all governemental laboratories mentioned above, Cambodia has very poor chemicals- and POPs-related laboratory analysis capacity. Cambodias main problems identified are:

Lack of good cooperation among laboratory and stakeholders that are responsible for managing emission sources of the chemicals and persistent toxic substances; Lack of human resources in operating lab as well as technical expertise related to chemicals analysis and management capacity, and Lack of reliable laboratories and equipment for chemicals monitoring and analyzing.
Cambodias laboratories infrastructure is illustrated in Table 9-1 below:

OVERVIEW OF GOVERNMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS/COMPUTER CAPABILITIES
In Cambodia, the use of information-related technological facilities such as computers and computer information networks begun in the 1990s, and most activities served administration management. Technical information storage and dissemination through computer networks was made only for internal use by each governmental institution. By the year 2000, the Royal Government of Cambodia had developed computer information network capability for use in each governmental institution for administrative services but was limited in the quantity of equipment, service, technique, and human capacity. The governmental network can be accessed with electronic messages and the Internet. However, technical information storage in computer networks is associated with insufficient information dissemination, lack of technical expertise, and lack of human resource capacity in managing the network. Thus, general technical information has only been stored in personal computers of each governmental technical instituion. Table 9-2 below demonstrates the tehnical information facilities and software programs capabilities available in each governmental institution.

OVERVIEW OF TECHNICAL TRAINING AND EDUCATION PROGRAMMES
Chemicals training and professional education programs have been conducted at professional institutions to promote local expertise in implementing governmental programs or policy in managing chemicals. The professional institutions include: Royal University of Phnom Penh, provided the training on chemistry and environmental science; Royal University of Agriculture (Chamkar Doeung), provided the training on agronomy, and animal production and health; Cambodia Institute of Technology, provided the training on food chemicals; University of Health Science, provided the training on pharmacology; National Agricultural Vocational Training College (Prek Leap), provided the training on agronomy, and animal production and health; and
- 143 -
Royal Academy of Cambodia, provided the training on chemistry and food chemicals. Of the professional technical training described above, the governmental institutions have also been conducting technical skill training related to chemicals in order to gain understanding and strengthen capacity of governmental staff in the implementation of governmental programs and policy related to managing chemicals; especially for local governmental staff who are directly involved in national program and policy implementation. In general, the training has been organized based on the needs and the requirements of each governmental institution. Most of the training is facilitated by national and international experts in terms of learning-by-doing and classroom training. Some staff have been received short- and medium-term training abroad and some governmental staff have also been sent to study at the post-graduate level on chemicals management and environmental science. However, these kinds of training have not been broadly organized due to lack of technical and financial resources and poor knowledge of foreign languages.
9.4
COMMENTS/ANALYSIS
Six significant laboratories of Cambodia, particularly located in the governmental ministries play a role in the monitoring of chemicals used in Cambodia covering import, distribution, use, disposal, etc. and analyzing chemicals to support monitoring process and effective management of chemicals in Cambodia. Out of the six laboratories of the governmental ministries, Cambodia has some laboratories located at various high school institutions. Those labs play a very important role in supporting chemistry training for all students who are studying at those high schools; they are an also able to analyze some chemical substances as necessary. In brief, Cambodia has weak points regarding its laboratory facilities: Each of Cambodian laboratories lacks analytical equipment, chemical reagents, and human resoureces for chemical analysis; Most of the laboratories are located in Phnom Penh, making it very difficult to analyse chemicals at the provincial level, some of chemical substances need to be immediately analysed after the sample is collected. Some governmental laboratories currently have not been creating the network for sharing data on analyzed chemicals and information exchange among laboratories. None of the Cambodian laboratories is accreditated by an international laboratory on the quality of analytical findings and sampling exchange. In order to monitor and analyse chemical substances accumulated in various products, Cambodian laboratories should liaise as a network to assist each other in chemicals analysis and sharing data on analyzed chemicals and information that aims to ensure safe chemicals management. Those laboratories should consider some ideas such as the following: Establish branch laboratories at the provincial and municipality level and upgrade the existing laboratories through strengthening the capacity of the staff and officers; offer modern analyzing facilities; supply sufficient analytical reagents; and expand the scope of quality analysis for existing laboratories; Establish and improve information infrastructure in order to effectively manage chemicals in Cambodia; Strengthen and promote Cambodian laboratories capacity and assist competent Cambodian laboratories to be accreted by future partners on capacity and analytical finding; and Promote private laboratories contribution in sound chemicals management.

Awareness/Understanding of Workers, Farmers and the Public
10. CHAPTER 10 AWARENESS/UNDERSTANDING OF WORKERS, FARMERS AND THE PUBLIC

This chapter provides an overview of the mechanisms available to provide information to workers and to the public concerning the potential risks associated with chemicals import and use in Cambodia. The information is divided into three parts: information for workers, information for the general public, and raising public awareness.
10.1
INFORMATION FOR WORKERS AND FARMERS IN CAMBODIA
Cambodia has not prepared specific regulations that require that workers handling chemicals must have knowledge about chemicals safety. The dissemination of the existing legal instruments related to the management, safe handling, and use of chemicals for farmers, workers, and public at large has been rarely operated through mass media such as televisions, radios, newspapers, magazines, posters, and brochures. Instead, chemicals-related research information results of the governmental institutions, international organizations, and NGOs have been provided to the farmers, workers, and public at large through field school programs, public meetings, workshops, and sometime through mass media. These kinds of information dissemination cannot be broadly operated and can only be held locally.
10.2
INFORMATION FOR PUBLIC AT LARGE
Information related to chemicals use, especially related to safe use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers as well as chemicals risk have been disseminated to the public through the mass media. The nature of the information to disseminate for the public at large comprises chemicals use, safe use of chemicals, health protection measures for chemicals users and public, diseases caused by chemicals, chemicals that dangerously affect humans and environment, etc. Furthermore, the relevant institutions related to chemicals management have also published about the implementation of relavent programs and their research documents but have not emphasized specifically on chemicals-related issues that affect peoples health and the environment. Almost all documents have only been described about the progress of the project or programs. Those documents have explained a little bit about chemicals risk on the environment and the health. Up to date, the governmental institutions, international organizations, and NGOs have been conducting chemicals education programs which target the public such as: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries cooperated with international organizations and NGOs and provided information for farmers, workers, and the public at large regarding the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and animal medicine, and methods related to farmers health protection through field school programs of integrated pest management and improvement of agricultural productivity projects. Ministry of Commerce provided information for farmers, workers, and the public at large regarding the use of safety products through televisions, radios, newspaper, and other dissemination documents. Ministry of Environment cooperated with international organizations and NGOs and provided information for farmers, workers, and the public at large regarding the legal instruments reflecting aspects of environmental pollution, the national program for prevention of environmental pollution, public health protection, and toxic pesticides, through televisions, radios, newspaper, posters, and other dissemination documents, workshops, and public meetings. Ministry of Health cooperated with international organizations and NGOs and provided information for farmers, workers, and the public at large regarding health protection and safe use of pharmaceutical productsm through televisions, radios, newspaper, posters, and other dissemination documents.
- 145 -
Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy cooperated with international organizations and NGOs and provided information for workers, and the public at large regarding the clean production and safe working conditions in factories/manufacturing, through televisions, radios, newspaper, posters, and other dissemination documents in place. Specifically, the Ministry of Interior cooperated with international organizations and NGOs and provided information for workers and public at large regarding the danger of using chemical substances for narcotic drug production and social safety, through televisions, radios, newspaper, posters, other related documents, etc. and implemented law enforcement.
10.3
PUBLIC AWARENESS RAISING AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The raising of public awareness in Cambodia falls almost entirely on the print media, television, and radio. However, such news coverage and information campaigns about chemicals are inefficient and not of high quality. In addition, specialized education in pesticides and chemical fertilizers to the farmers are inadequate. During the last few years, there has been a lack of good formal and informal training programs in Cambodia related to chemicals. Besides the formal education programs, in general school education has involved studying about chemistry but they have not trained the students on chemicals hazards. By the way, the informal education programs implemented by governmental institutions and civil organizations has been focusing on awareness of chemicals risk and safe use of chemicals, especially awareness on pesticides, chemicals fertilizers, and chemical substances accumulated in food products. However, public awareness is low regarding the chemicals use and safety and its impact on human health and the environment. Cambodia recognized that the governmental institutions were not gaining a deep understanding about chemicals perception and hazard on human health and the environment and were also not yet gaining fresh momentum to promote public awareness on chemicals safety. Up to date, there are very few published education materials to be disseminated to the public regarding the chemicals use and safety. The materials and information that have been published and disseminated in Cambodia regarding the chemical education programs comprise: 1. Environmental Concepts and Issues A Focus on Cambodia, published by Ministry of Environment 1999; sponsored by UNDP/ETAP 2. Drug Information Bulletin (Ministry of Health, 2001) 3. Arsenic Substance Concentrated in Well Water (Ministry of Rural Development cooperated with UNICEF, 2003) 4. Teacher Guide Manual for Primary School Teachers, (MoE, ETAP/UNDP, 1998) 5. Draft Teacher Guide Manual for Primary Monks Education, (MoE, ETAP/UNDP, 1998) 6. Precursors Chemicals Frequently Used in Illicit Drug Production, Published by Secretariat of the National Authority for Controlling Drug 7. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and International Community Concerns, Published by Enabling Activities for the development of a National Plan for Implementation of the Stockholm Convention, Ministry of Environment, May 2004 8. Pesticides for Crop Protection and Issues, Published by CEDAC 2003
10.4
FUTURE CHEMICAL EDUCATION ACTIVITIES
In order to respond to the reading requirements of Cambodian people and to increase understanding about the chemicals among farmers, workers, and public at large, the governmental institutions managing chemicals have proposed some critical projects to improve awareness on chemicals risk and the safe use and storage of chemicals. Table 10-1 summarizes chemicals education activities for farmers, workers, and the public at large. This table also includes both main targets and timeframes for preparation of such materials and conducting future education activities in Cambodia.

COMMENTS/ANALYSIS
Since 1980, chemicals use education has slowly begun permeating the formal education at the level of primary, secondary schools, high schools, and some universities. From 1993, public awareness on safety storage and the use of chemicals has become the critical subject in general environmental education in the informal education system. Chemicals education is also permeating the level of government officials and especially for the Ministry of Environment official staff. At present, Cambodia has developed individual ministerial education programs to enhance capacity of governmental institutions, farmers, workers, and society on chemicals safe use, storage, and disposal plus chemicals-related issues as illustrated in Table 10-1.
- 147 -
It is hoped that soon many trainers will have ability to train workers and farmers through informal education systems related to chemicals use, safe storage of chemicals plus health protection and environment security from the risk of chemicals.

11. CHAPTER 11 INTERNATIONAL LINKAGES

This chapter describes national participation and involvement in international organizations and agreements concerned with the management of chemicals and to identify problems and develop resolution measures related to chemicals through international and donor agencies programs and various project assistance.
11.1
COOPERATION AND INVOLVEMENT WITH INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, BODIES AND AGREEMENTS
Acceptance of chemicals risk and in contribution with the international community for public health and environmental quality protection, and to avoid dangerous effects of chemicals and persistent toxic chemicals, the Royal Government of Cambodia is working with the international community through the involvement and implementation of international activities and conventions for managing chemicals. The involvement of Cambodia in cooperation with the international community related to chemicals management has not been a comprehensive implementation of all aspects of those international bodies and agreements. Specifically, Cambodias activities to be undertaken for achieving the chemicals management objectives under obligations of the conventions or agreements have not been fully operational due a lack of human resources, inadequate experience, and insufficient implementation facilities. The governments activities in participation with international organizations programs or activities are summarized in Table 11-1; other Cambodian activities in ratifying the international conventions, protocols, and agreements related to managing chemicals are summarized in Table 11-2 below.

At the present, Cambodia has no specific policy to place conditions and define measures to put any pressure on donor-assisted projects related to chemicals management. The Royal Government of Cambodia has placed high priority on the facilitation and coordination with all grant projects. The Royal Government of Cambodia is monitoring the projects implementation findings and providing advice and recommendations for projects on how the objectives mentioned in agreement and/or memorandums of understanding can be achieved. The government has always trusted the donors to preform the audit for the grant projects. As mentioned in chapter 6, the government has not determined the procedure for facilitation of any grant project, but some coordination can be made through co-management functions, memorandums, agreements, partnerships, contracts, concessions, etc, to avoid overlapping activities. Specifically, the government has defined the procedure for strictly controlling action for the loan projects. The loan projects have to get approval from the national assembly. The financial audit and controlling of the project implementation is the duty of the Ministry of Economic and Finance of Cambodia. At the present Cambodia has no plan to borrow money from external fianacial sources for chemicals management actions.

COMMENTS/ANALYSIS
Current activities have not fully met all of the requirements of the international agreements. Many of the chemical concerns are the result of an inadequate chemicals management infrastructure and human resources capacity. Cambodia has recognized that current national capacity building for chemicals management at the state and public levels are an important solution for implementing the international agreements. Cambodia is well positioned and coordinated in terms of international activities and agreements in the area of chemicals management. The Royal Government of Cambodia strongly supports the integration of international agency programs into national programs to achieve sustainable development goals, poverty alleviation, as well as the improvement of peoples health and a safe environment. Most importantly, Cambodian institutions could work well with international organizations and the existing national coordination committees in identifying chemicals-related problems and in defining specific measures for capacity building among governmental institutions and stakeholders for chemicals management and successful project implementation under support from donor agencies. From these reasons, Cambodia has established inter-ministerial coordination commissions for the implementation of international projects. The execution of the roles and responsibilities of these commissions is fundamental for chemicals management for all parties concerned and within the legal framework to ensure the protection of health and a safe environment. In order to improve the effectiveness of international programs in Cambodia, the following recommendations should be made are: Promote a participatory planning process among international agencies programs especially with line ministries; Improve local capacity in participating in implementation of the plan; Pay more attention to participation among all the existing coordination mechanisms; Share information and experiences gained from programs that are currently being implementing or have already been implemented, International donors should provide assistance to the government regarding law enforcement and/or be involved in chemical impact assessment and governance activities; International donor assistance projects taking place in Cambodia should consider and accomodate Cambodia circumstance and local conditions; and Provide opportunities for governmental technical staff who work with relevant programs for: Better communication at the government level and between the government and the donor, Correct identification of priorities, Achievement of common goals regarding peoples health protection and a safe environment, and Building capacity of the local staff on how to work at the international level. The Royal Government of Cambodia expects that it will not have constraints with donor assistance programs or international agreements if the above recommendations can be resolved and implemented.

Issues involving Chemical Substances Cambodia

1. Assessment of Chemical Risks - It is relevant to systematic assessment mechanism in which Cambodia has built the skills on classification and labeling of chemicals and developed a spatial strategy plan such as Industry, Agriculture, Transportation and Consumer Products for implementing the GHS. It is intended to stimulate the effective implementation of GHS and Cambodia has prepared regulation (sub-decree) in which it is being screened and will be applied soon. - Risk assessment of hazardous chemical and risk management has been seriously controlled, especially some hazardous chemical substances include: Mercury and unintentional POPs, on top of that, Cambodia has also taken part in complying with the regional project involving this assessment. - Regarding the vulnerable assessment strategy and environmental monitoring through the toxicological and epidemiological data so as to assess the chemical impacts on human health and environment has not been prepared resulting from the limited both human resources and equipments. 2. Sound Management of Toxic chemicals: - with support from both technical and financial support from Swedish Government via KemI, we are strengthening the capacity of institutions concerning SAICM and preparing strategy plan to integrate the action plan on sound chemical management into national development plan. - With the aim at minimizing the chemical effects, some work plan is being setting up such as restricted and banned list of toxic and chemical, National Chemical Profile, National implementation plan for implementation of the Stockholm Convention, National strategy on GHS implementation, Regulation for GHS implementation, etc. - To prevent the human health and the environment from the impact of hazardous chemical substances, Cambodia has ratified some international conventions such as Vienna, Basel and Stockholm conventions and organizing the national plan for implementing these conventions including the reduction and elimination of the uses of hazardous chemical substances such as POPs, Ozone-depleting substances, aside from that there are still some other poisonous chemicals, especially pesticide and industrial chemicals is also prohibited. - There is only mercury, so far, being thoroughly managed for its hazardousness and being prepared national strategy plan on waste management and mercury proliferation in order to minimize the impacts of mercury and its waste. - Some activities have been undertaking to slow down the agricultural chemical use including IPM, awareness raising and education programme to farmers on the impacts of pesticide and advise them alternative products. Issues involving waste management
1. Prevention and minimization and environmentally sound management of hazardous wastes: - As far as the hazardous wastes are concerned, Cambodia has seriously participated in preventing the trans-boundary trade with seriously controlling and observing in compliance with Basel Convention on the importation of trans-boundary wastes for recycling and with the ban on the importation of some hazardous wastes such as pesticide wastes or waste containing with POPs. However, Cambodia has still not been taken action on the reduction of the hazardous domestic waste generation, meanwhile the domestically- generated hazardous waste data has not been published. - Concerning the technological transformation of the effectively hazardous waste management or the implementation of clean technology and the reduction of waste generation is undergoing but in a small scale; especially with the large-scale industries meanwhile the small and medium enterprises has not been carried out because of lacking of human resources. - Relevant to the legal action to manage the hazardous wastes is only stipulated in sub-decree (Governmental Regulation); it is required to inform or asked permission from the Ministry of Environment for the storage, cleanness, and disposal of hazardous wastes. Regarding the polluter-pay principle is not yet officially applied. - In order to minimization of the risks to social and environment, all the investment projects are required to conduct the environmental impact assessment. - In term of recovery, reuse and recycling of hazardous wastes or the transformation of these wastes into the un-poisonous wastes or environmentally friendly usable waste have not been implemented; in general, all the domestically-generated hazardous wastes together with household wastes have been disposed at landfill site or burned in high temperature kiln for the hospital wastes. So far, Cambodia would like to certify that it completely lacks of human resources, equipments, experiences and finance for managing the hazardous wastes such as the identification of environmentally sound management of the waste collection, storage, treatment, and disposal. Meanwhile, the goal set to eliminate the hazardous wastes like toxic, persistent and bio-accumulation has not been considered. - The inventory of hazardous wastes is only conducted on electronic, battery and mercury wastes in which it is undertaken under the project support. While, concerning the inventory of treatment or hazardous waste disposal and the areas affected by hazardous waste has not existed or carried out. - There is no equipment or treatment or disposal of hazardous wastes generated by small and medium enterprises. All the hazardous wastes generated in the area (small and medium enterprises) are disposed with household waste with treatment. - Concerning the illegal trans-boundary waste negotiation is strictly applied in border gates under inspection by the competitive customs. 2- Environmentally sound management of solid waste and sewage: Regarding the constantly increasing household waste generation is considered on preparing the national strategy plan to stimulate the implementation of 3Rs in order to reduce the solid waste generation, furthermore, the functional parts can be extracted for reuse that can contribute to minimize the environmental impact. As far as the environmentally sound waste disposal such as the use of sanitary landfill in which it is used to generate the methane gas for energy has not been considered. All wastes has been transported to Open burning dumping site, except some big cities used Controlled landfill with soil cover and no burning.
