OPs regulatory testing
What are POPs
POPs is the abbreviation of English ( Persistent Organic Pollutants ), and its Chinese name is " persistent organic pollutants " . It is a class of long-term residual, bioaccumulative , semi-volatile and highly toxic substances that pass through various environmental media (air , water, organisms, etc.) can migrate long-distance natural or synthetic organic pollutants that are seriously harmful to human health and the environment .
Characteristics of POPs
Environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, long-range transport, potential toxicity.
Limitations on POPs
In view of the harm of POPs , under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP ), in order to promote the restriction and reduction of POPs and protect human health and the environment from the harm of POPs , the international community jointly concluded in the capital of Sweden on May 23 , 2001 The full name of the specialized environmental convention is the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. The successful signing of this POPs Convention is considered to be an extremely important step taken by the international community in the management and control of toxic chemicals after the Basel Convention and the Rotterdam Convention.
In 2004, the European Union promulgated the Persistent Organic Pollutants Regulation (POPs Regulation ) ( EC) No 850/2004, which proposed specific control measures for the use of POPs in the EU .
On June 25 , 2019, the European Union issued the new POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/2021 , which officially came into effect on July 15 , 2019. At the same time, the original Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 was abolished.
(EU) 2019/2021 has been revised many times since its release . The current list of banned substances controls a total of 28 hazardous substances, as follows:
