analysis: The text primarily deals with environmental issues, such as the management of hazardous wastes, exchange of information on potentially harmful chemicals, and environmental impact assessment. These topics are related to the natural resources and environment, and also have implications for human health and international cooperation. The text does not appear to be focused on economic development, agriculture, forestry, or fishing, nor does it have a strong connection to industry, transport, communication, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture.
