The agency says in a new report that better management of chemicals could save millions of lives and billions of dollars.
The Global Chemicals Outlook report will be discussed next week in Nairobi at the International Conference on Chemicals Management.
An estimated 143,000 chemicals are now produced. Yet the report says only a small number of these chemicals have been studied for their effects on human health and the environment. It says death and disability rates are high from the unsafe use of chemical products.
Sylvie Lemmet is director of the Division of Technology, Industry and Economics at the U.N. Environment Program. She says poor management of chemicals has a high economic cost. For example, she says the cost is higher than the amount of overseas development aid, or ODA, for health care in sub-Saharan Africa.联合国环境规划署不断号召采取紧急行动，以降低日益增长的来自化学制品的风险。该机构在一份新的报告中称，加强化学制品管理能够挽救数百万条生命，节省数十亿美元。
下周，《全球化学品展望》报告将会在内罗毕举行的国际化学品管理会议上被讨论。
据估计，目前生产的化学品有143000种。然而，报告说，其中只有少数化学品对人类健康和环境的影响被研究过。报告称，由于对化学制品的不安全使用造成的致死率和致残率很高。
塞尔维∙莱梅是联合国环境规划署技术、工业与经济司司长。她说，对化学品管理不善导致了高经费。例如，她说，在撒哈拉以南的非洲地区，管理不善引起的支出高于针对医疗保健的海外发展援助（ODA）总额。
