The Stockholm Convention is an international agreement that mandates the participating countries to actively reduce, and ideally eliminate the release of the treaty-designated POPs into the environment, and therefore prevent their spread around the world. [1]
The Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants was adopted May 2001.
