Pop regulation

Protect the environment and human health from persistent organic pollutants: an overview of the regulation and complymarket solutions

Persistent organic pollutants (pop) are organic substances that persist in the environment, accumulate in living organisms and represent risks both for human health and for the environment. These substances can be transported through international borders through air, water or migratory species, reaching regions in which they may never have been produced or used. International effective risk management is necessary since no region alone can manage the risks placed by these substances.

There are four lists of substances regulated under pop:

• Annex I: Pop for which manufacture, mass on the market or use is prohibited.
• Annex II: Pop for which manufacture, mass on the market or use is severely restricted.
• Annex III: Pop that are presented as non -intentional by -product of industrial processes and are subject to measures to reduce the release.
• Annex IV: Pop which are subject to special waste management measures.
