Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)

This procedure outlines the European Union's strategic approach to the international treaty on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). It focuses on eliminating or restricting the production and use of hazardous chemicals that remain in the environment for long periods and accumulate in the food chain.

This affects chemical manufacturers, waste management sectors, and environmental regulators. It aims to reduce toxic pollution in the air and water to protect human health and biodiversity.
