Eurosetelit

YMPÄRISTÖ JA TERVEYS

Euroopan keskuspankki pyrkii kaikin tavoin säästämään luonnonvaroja, jotta ympäristö säilyisi puhtaana eikä eurosetelien valmistuksesta ja toimituksista aiheutuisi terveydellisiä haittoja.

Ympäristövaikutukset

EKP tutki eurosetelien ympäristövaikutuksia vuonna 2003. Tutkimusten perusteella todettiin, että eurosetelien ympäristövaikutus niiden koko elinkaaren aikana on verrattavissa siihen, että jokainen Euroopan unionin kansalainen ajaisi kilometrin autolla tai antaisi 60 watin hehkulampun palaa puoli päivää. Setelin elinkaari kattaa tuotannon, varastoinnin, liikkeessäoloajan sekä käytöstä poistamisen.

Eurojärjestelmässä on otettu käyttöön rahahuollon ympäristöjärjestelmä, jota on kehitetty yhteistyössä setelintuotanto-teollisuuden kanssa. Järjestelmän avulla ympäristöstä pyritään pitämään jatkossakin mahdollisimman hyvää huolta.
 

Terveysvaikutukset

Eurosetelit ovat turvallisia: riippumattomissa testeissä on todettu, että kaikkien kemiallisten aineiden pitoisuudet ovat huomattavasti alle EU:n asettamien raja-arvojen.

Eurosetelit testattiin ennen niiden käyttöönottoa eli tammikuuta 2002. Näin varmistettiin, etteivät eurosetelit aiheuta myrkytys- tai ärsytysriskejä joutuessaan suuhun tai kosketuksiin ihon kanssa ja etteivät ne ole genotoksisia.

Puhtaita seteleitä

Seteleistä on löydetty pieniä määriä yleisesti esiintyviä bekteereja, jotka ovat peräisin mm. elintarvikeliikkeistä. Bakteeripitoisuudet ovat niin pieniä, ettei niistä voi aiheutua edes lieviä terveyshaittoja. Luottokorteista on löydetty samankaltaisia bakteeripitoisuuksia.

Eurojärjestelmä saa ajoittain kyselyjä eri aineiden pitoisuuksista. Testeissä näitä aineita ei ole löytynyt lainkaan tai pitoisuudet ovat olleet niin pieniä, ettei niistä aiheudu terveysriskejä.
