International POPs Elimination Network

The International POPs Elimination Network (IPEN) is a global organization working to reduce and eliminate the use of persistent organic pollutants (POPs)—harmful chemicals found in pesticides, industrial processes, and consumer products—that persist in the environment, accumulate in living things, and pose health risks. IPEN collaborates with governments, communities, and scientists worldwide to promote safer alternatives, enforce regulations, and raise awareness about POPs’ dangers. Its goal is to protect human health and ecosystems from these dangerous chemicals by supporting policy change and community action globally.
