The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) The Stockholm Convention protects human health and the environment by restricting the production, use, and trade of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

These substances are consequently known as persistent organic pollutants or POPs.

In addition, some countries specify as air pollutants heavy metals (such as lead and mercury), volatile organic compounds (such as benzene and formaldehyde) and a broad array of other chemical compounds classified as air toxics.

In this Entity, there is no monitoring that would include the new parameters of air quality control, meaning the addition of nitrogen, oxygen, heavy metals (lead, cadmium), volatile organic substances (VOC), and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) There is no interpretation of air quality regarding its effects on human health, although an overview of the results may indicate that there were no critical changes of the measured parameters The registry of pollutants has not been set up.
