The Intersection Of Law, Health, & The Environment: Vito Buonsante On Building A Toxin-Free Future


How does the environment impact human health and rights? What role do waste and chemical issues play in the sustainable welfare of society? Vito Buonsante, an EU and International law specialist, joins the podcast to explain…

Vito is an environmental lawyer and Technical and Policy Advisor for IPEN. Here, he works on a wide range of issues related to chemical safety, including SAICM and its emerging policy issues and issues of concern, the Stockholm, Basel, and Rotterdam Convention. 

With over 15 years of experience in drafting, analyzing, and implementing environmental legislation, Vito leverages his expertise in chemicals, nanomaterials, and pesticides to promote a healthier world – one where both people and the environment are free from the harmful effects of toxic chemicals.

In this discussion, we cover:

  • How pollutants impact marginalized populations. 
  • The ways that the environment and law intersect, and how policies are used to preserve the future.  
  • Why environmental law is quite weak in many countries. 
  • The benefits of making the names and quantities of chemicals on the market available to the public.
