Monitoring Plan Two core matrices: Mothers’ milk collected in each country according to WHO protocol Ambient air with passive air samplers according to GMP protocol SAICM QSP projects are part of the regional UNEP-GEF GMP project in GRULAC and three regional GMP projects in Africa and the Pacific Air samplers to be shipped
