AB  - Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are chemicals with multipurpose applications. Their 
      global production has increased despite their adverse impacts on the environment 
      and human health. In 2017, short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) were listed 
      as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Stockholm Convention. Yet, 
      specific exemptions were granted for their applications despite the recycling 
      prohibition for products containing SCCPs. Therefore, we aimed to produce the 
      first Brazilian inventory of SCCPs following its respective guidance to evaluate 
      the applicability of the SCCP inventory guidance and to provide technical 
      insights regarding SCCPs in the update of the Brazilian National Implementation 
      Plan (NIP). Moreover, we performed a review of SCCP occurrence in Brazil to 
      fulfil data gaps in the inventory development. We identified and consulted 
      nationwide stakeholders and assessed foreign trade data of CPs and products that 
      might contain CPs in relevant amounts. The Brazilian production of CPs was 
      discontinued in 1994. However, CPs are still imported and used in the country. 
      CPs have been mostly applied as plasticizers, flame retardants and lubricants in 
      Brazil. The import of products containing CPs also pose a significant route of CP 
      entrance into Brazil. Thus, the current end-of-life management of CP-containing 
      products is a bottleneck towards the Convention implementation. The guidance 
      application was feasible and useful despite the low engagement of stakeholders. 
      To assess foreign trade of CPs and CP-containing products, we recommend the use 
      of more specific tracking codes. Besides, the review of SCCP occurrence is not a 
      demanded part for an inventory but was a useful complementation.
