Description:
In most African developing countries, people live in hard socioeconomical conditions which don’t give them any choice or decisionmaking power when it comes to protecting their environment.

Some of these chemicals are Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), which are regulated by the Stockholm Convention.
