Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are synthetic chemical substances that have toxic properties to humans and animals, are bio-accumulative in organisms through the food chains, and get transported over long-range distances from the points of their release through various environmental media such as air, water and migratory species. Their occurrence in the environment lasts for a considerable length of time. They last because they resist photolytic, chemical and biological degradation. POPs are highly toxic as they cause an array of adverse health effects, notably death, birth defects among
