The countries of the world adopted the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants on 23 May 2001 in Stockholm. The Convention is aimed at reducing, and where appropriate preventing, the release of twelve persistent organic pollutants into the environment (aldrin, chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, eldrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, mirex and toxaphene, PCB, HCB, PCDD/PCDF). The Convention entered into force on 17 February 2004. It prescribes the requirements to be fulfilled by each party to the Convention in order to achieve elimination of production, use, import and export of persistent organic compounds at the global level. The above mentioned would lead to significant reduction or complete elimination of the release of the said compounds into the environment.
