dc.descriptionThis questionnaire outlines efforts to support the environmentally sound management of waste lead-acid batteries in response to a resolution adopted by the United Nations Environment Assembly in December 2017. It explains that lead exposure poses serious health and economic risks and that improper recycling contributes to significant environmental pollution. The document seeks to assess national conditions by gathering detailed information on manufacturing and recycling facilities, including formal and informal operations, as well as annual production and processing volumes. It also requests information on export and import controls, regulatory and policy measures, relevant health and environmental studies, awareness activities, incidents of mismanagement, and identified national needs such as technology, infrastructure, monitoring systems and capacity building.en
