(19) Since public awareness of the hazards that POPs pose to the health of present and future generations as well as to the environment, particularly in developing countries, is often lacking, wide-scale information is needed to increase the level of caution and public understanding of the rationalegain support for restrictions and bans. In accordance with the Convention, public awareness programmes on those substances, on their health and environmental effects and on their alternatives, especially for the most vulnerable groups, as well as training of workers, scientists, educators, technical and managerial personnel should be promoted and facilitated, as appropriate. The Union should ensure access to information and public participation, implementing the UN/ECE Convention on access to information, public participation in decision making and access to justice in environmental matters (Aarhus Convention),which was approved by the Union on 17 February20051a. _________________ 1a OJ L 124, 17.5.2005, p. 1.
