(May 8, 2009) Nine persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were listed under the Stockholm Convention. Over 160 Governments concluded a
conference with decisions to strengthen the global
effort to eradicate some of the most toxic chemicals known to humankind. The Conference of the Parties (COP) Convention was amended for the first time to include nine new chemicals still widely used today as pesticides, flame retardants and in a number of other commercial uses. The new toxic chemicals added expand the original ’’dirty dozen’’ covered by the 2004 Convention.
