3 Celebrating the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is a global treaty that aims at protecting human health and the environment from persistent organic pollutants. It was adopted at a Conference of Plenipotentiaries on May 00 in Stockholm, Sweden and entered into force on May 00. As of November 00, the Convention had Parties ( countries and the European Union). Persistent organic pollutants, also known as POPs, are particularly toxic chemicals that bioaccumulate, travel long distances and persist in the environment. POPs are currently covered by the Stockholm Convention. These chemicals are pesticides, industrial chemicals or unintentional byproducts of industrial and other processes. Some are largely used (for example in flame retardants, electronic equipment, electric transformers). POPs are everywhere: in our bodies, in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil we walk on and the food we eat. Let us start this New Year by being more aware of this hidden danger and by renewing our efforts to create a POPs-free future. Donald Cooper, Executive Secretary Secretariat of the Stockholm Convention Official UNOG Holidays Important Meetings
