"alt": "A fact sheet titled “Ending Toxic Exemptions” presents IPEN’s views on proposed exemptions for UV-328 and Dechlorane Plus, two hazardous chemicals recommended for global elimination. The text outlines IPEN’s support for listing methoxychlor without exemptions, and strongly urges that no exemptions be granted for UV-328 and Dechlorane Plus due to available safer alternatives. On the right, there is a photo of a man in a workshop carefully polishing a car, symbolizing potential occupational exposure to toxic substances.",
