POPs Monitoring Network

The POPs Monitoring Network tracks persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are toxic chemicals that linger in the environment and can harm health. This network involves collecting air, water, soil, and biological samples from various locations worldwide to measure pollutant levels. Its goal is to understand how these substances spread, persist, and impact ecosystems and humans. By providing valuable data, the network informs policies to reduce exposure and protect environmental and public health. It plays a crucial role in global efforts to manage and mitigate the risks posed by persistent organic pollutants.
