Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are organic chemical substances that persist in the environment, bioaccumulate .

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are organic chemical substances that persist in the environment, bioaccumulate through the food chain, and pose a risk of causing adverse effects to human health and the environment. POPs concentrate in living organisms through a process called bioaccumulation. The Stockholm Convention has a big impact on both chemical industry and other sectors which use certain hazardous substances (for example, flame retardants) in their articles and parts. Once a hazardous substance is added to Annex A, it will face a global ban. Companies must take measures to eliminate or substitute the hazardous substance in their products.

Persistent Organic Pollutants are transported across international boundaries far from their sources, even to regions where they have never been used or produced. The ecosystems and indigenous people of the Arctic are particularly at risk because of the long-range environmental transportation and bio-magnification of these substances. Consequently, persistent organic pollutants pose a threat to the environment and to human health all over the globe. International action on POPs

The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants was adopted by the Conference of Plenipotentiaries . As set out in Article 1, the objective of the Stockholm Convention is to protect human health and the environment from persistent organic pollutants.

The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants was adopted by the Conference of Plenipotentiaries on 22 May 2001 in Stockholm, Sweden. The Convention entered into force on 17 May 2004. Among others, the provisions of the Convention require each party to
