*** BLOGPOST ***

On 21 October, the EDPS has hosted an #IPEN event on "Secure multi-party computation" where participants have discussed risks and benefits of the technology.

SMPC is based on a deceptively simple yet powerful idea: multiple parties can work together to compute a result from their private data without ever exposing that data to one another.

Imagine hospitals improving disease prediction models using patient data, without any hospital ever seeing another’s records. Or banks detecting cross-border fraud patterns, without compromising client confidentiality.

#IPEN event on “Secure Multi-Party Computation”

Today, EDPS organised an IPEN event hosted by Goethe University Frankfurt.

This edition's topic was "Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC)" was tackled by our panellists Ivan Damgård, Thomas Schneider, Riivo Talviste, Hossein Yalame, Thomas Loruenser, Idoia Gamiz Ugarte, Christian Rendel, Vincent Dunning, Liina Kamm, Giuseppe D’Acquisto.

Speakers have explored the intersection of legal, technical and ethical imperatives SMPC offers in a compelling framework for trust-by-design collaboration.

@Supervisor Wojciech Wiewiorowski closed the event reminding participants that the purpose of privacy-enhancing technologies goes beyond protecting data: it is about protecting people, enabling collaboration without coercion, innovation without exploitation and progress without surveillance.

A heartfelt thank you to our speakers, moderators, and to Goethe University Frankfurt for hosting this year's event.

※ 放牧的雞蛋中測出一些持久性有機污染物（POPs），濃度是歐盟針對戴奧辛和戴奧辛類多氯聯苯（dioxin-like PCBs）安全上限值的111倍。
※ 根據歐盟的標準，成年人一天最多能攝取這些化學物質的量有個安全上限，但吃一顆前述被污染的蛋等於一次吃了250天份量的毒性化學物質。
※ 另一項測試是由再生塑膠製程的產品，包括兒童玩具。18項產品中有14項測出溴化阻燃劑（BFR）

Highly Toxic Chemicals from Plastic Waste Contaminate Kenya’s Food Chain and Products | IPEN

Nairobi/Geneva – Ahead of tomorrow’s “PCB Fair” at the Basel, Rotterdam, and Stockholm Conventions (BRS COPs), a study today from the Kenyan public interest group Centre for Environment Justice and Development (CEJAD), IPEN, and Arnika shows that extremely high levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including dioxin-like PCBs, likely produced from burning and disposal

【微波爆米花測出PFAS，美國還在大量輸入印尼】

IPEN-Nexus3 剛出爐的測試報告：測試美國29項微波爆米花產品，全部測出含有PFAS
https://ipen.org/documents/toxic-hazards-microwave-popcorn

這29項微波爆米花由美國四家公司生產：Jolly Time、Ramsey Popcorn、Conagra、Preferred Popcorn，其中Jolly Time的微波爆米花在台灣便利商店也買得到。

IPEN 和 Toxic-Free Future 去信詢問這四間公司停用 PFAS 的意願，只有 Conagra 回應：「2023年3月之後我們的ACT II品牌的微波爆米花不會再含PFAS」

Nexus3印尼資深顧問Yuyun Ismawati說：「印尼不該是美國有毒產品的垃圾傾倒場」

PFAS代表一整群有害化學物質的家族，所有這些化學物質在其生產、運輸、使用、一直到廢棄的整個生命週期，已經污染了數百萬人的飲用水；污染了大量的土壤和環境資源；在許多國家引發了嚴重的健康衝擊；在往後數十年更有可能影響人口數的增減。雖然目前世界正努力管制、禁止、消除PFAS物質，但工業的干預、令人遺憾的那些替代品、再加上政府怠慢不作為，阻擾了禁限PFAS的腳步。Lee Bell 將會論述為何需要禁限「整個PFAS類別」的化學物質，以及其它侵害環境與人權的有害化學物質。

Do you need to understand more about #chemicals in #plastics? They are a central issue to be addressed in the #PlasticsTreaty and we can't achieve a circular economy without doing so! This report explains why!

#Plastics are a problem from start to end, causing harm to humans and the environment at all steps of their life cycle. And plastic chemicals (both additives and non-intentionally added ones) can be #toxic!
