POPs and Pesticides
|
The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) has helped classify those chemicals which are especially toxic for the environment as well as human health. Their impact has been recognised as deadly, since they may be unsafe even at unbelievably low contaminations. Toxics Link has done a first-of-its-kind study on POPs in the South East Asian Region, and has released a report on it. It is now pushing the Indian government towards ratifying the Stockholm Convention. A POPs kit has also been made containing general information on POPs. Toxics Link is a participating member of the International POPS Elimination Network. Toxics Link is also networking with various national and international NGOs working on pesticides’ issues.
