Seán Kelly (PPE). – A Uachtaráin, today I was happy to support the directive regarding the limit values for lead in its inorganic compounds to secure rules protecting millions of workers across the EU. This is the fifth revision of the EU legislation on cancer-causing substances, bringing essential changes to the carcinogens, mutagens and reprotoxic substances directive and the Chemical Agents Directive. The directive aims to protect workers from health risks linked to exposure to dangerous chemicals.

The lead limit values are to be updated for the first time since 1982. Despite lead’s wide use, including batteries and cosmetics, it is hazardous to health. Ingested or inhaled, it can damage the central nervous system, and it can also affect the kidneys, the heart and blood, amongst other harmful effects, in particular for fertility.

Once introduced correctly, this directive will have positive impacts for many workers in Europe.
