Hello Connections 😀 Want to know more about the Stockholm Convention.. The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is an international treaty aimed at protecting human health and the environment from chemicals that persist in the environment, bioaccumulate through the food chain, and pose a risk of causing adverse effects to human health and the environment. The convention was adopted in 2001 and entered into force in 2004. POPs are chemicals that resist degradation, accumulate in the fatty tissues of living organisms, and can travel long distances through air and water currents. They include substances like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, and certain pesticides like DDT. The Stockholm Convention aims to eliminate or restrict the production, use, and release of POPs through a variety of measures, including: 👉 Listing chemicals: The convention identifies specific chemicals as POPs and establishes criteria for identifying new chemicals to be added to the list. 👉 Control measures: Parties to the convention are required to take measures to eliminate or reduce the production, use, and release of POPs, including developing action plans and implementing best practices. 👉 Alternatives: Encouraging the development and use of safer alternatives to POPs in industrial processes and products. 👉 Monitoring and reporting: Parties are required to monitor and report on the production, use, and release of POPs in their territories, as well as measures taken to implement the convention. 👉 Assistance and cooperation: Providing support to developing countries in implementing the convention through technical assistance, capacity building, and financial support. Impact on automobile industry:- 👉 Restrictions on POPs in materials 👉 Phase-out of hazardous substances 👉 Focus on environmentally friendly technologies 👉 Compliance and sustainability Contact for FREE consultation on: https://lnkd.in/gf6Bznsh or . . . . .
