Islamabad : The climate change ministry would pace up its efforts in collaboration with UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to check free-wheeling use of mercury in different economic and health sectors.
According to the details, the skin-whitening creams identified as containing potentially dangerous levels of mercury continue to be sold in the markets despite concerns being raised by the health experts.
The ministry announced in October last year that it had a proper plan for abandoning the sub-standard whitening creams without causing any kind of losses to the cosmetic industry in the country.
