The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is an international environmental treaty that aims to eliminate or restrict the production and use of POPs. It was signed in 2001 and entered into force in May 2004.
Experts warn that POPs pose grave risks to the environment as well as the health of people, animals and all living things as they are resistant to environmental degradation through chemical, biological or photolytic processes.
