Persistent Organic pollutants (POPs)

  • Inorganic chemical compound (Natural or anthropogenic)
  • Toxic and persistent
  • Low vapor pressure
  • Low water solubility
  • Ability to travel long distance through air and water
  • Bio accumulation/ Bio magnification in food chain
  • Acute and chronic effect on human and wildlife

 

The twelve POPs

  • BHC
  • Aldrin
  • Dieldrin
  • Endrin
  • Heptachlor
  • Mirex
  • Toxaphone
