Reducing emissions of persistent organic pollutants
Description:
Measures to anticipate, prevent and minimize emissions of persistent organic pollutants contribute to the protection of the environment and human health. Context:
The predominant sources of air pollution contributing to the accumulation of persistent organic pollutants are the use of certain pesticides, the manufacture and use of certain chemicals, and the unintentional formation of certain substances in waste incineration, combustion, metal production and mobile sources. Techniques and management practices are available to reduce emissions of persistent organic pollutants into the air. Narrower:
Controlling transboundary emissions of persistent organic pollutantsControlling emissions of persistent organic pollutants from mobile sourcesControlling emissions of persistent organic pollutants from stationary sourcesUsing management programmes to reduce emissions of persistent organic pollutantsUsing economic instruments to reduce emissions from persistent organic pollutants Subjects:
