Pollutants, some pollutants have been created by us that can't be broken down by our bodies.

Exacerbations An acute exacerbation (a sudden worsening of symptoms) is commonly triggered by infection or environmental pollutants, or sometimes by other factors such as improper use of medications.

Further work on the enhancement or strengthening, as appropriate, of the guidelines on best available techniques and provisional guidance on best environmental practices relevant to the provisions of Article 5 of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.

They will also help the establishment of national implementation plans and programmes to promote the introduction and diffusion of best available technologies best environmental practices and ESTs, such as non combustion technologies to eliminate POP wastes and POP contaminated equipment.

A similar initiative is now targeting persistent organic pollutants.

Review of the role and mandate of the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee.

There is growing awareness in the region of the impact of land based sources of marine pollution, which is estimated to be responsible for about 80 per cent of all pollution entering the oceans.

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

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).

Photolysis in the atmosphere Photolysis also occurs in the atmosphere as part of a series of reactions by which primary pollutants such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides react to form secondary pollutants such as peroxyacyl nitrates.

The financial mechanism for the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is a funding mechanism.

A Party's initial plan will reflect the initial obligations of the Convention and will address the twelve persistent organic pollutants listed in Annexes A, B and C of the Convention.

Operational Program on Persistent Organic Pollutants Draft (OP 14), GEF Council, U.N. Doc.

Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is an international environmental treaty, signed in 2001 and effective from May 2004, that aims to eliminate or restrict the production and use of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

The environment outlook reports, Atlantic and Indian Oceans Environment Outlook, Caribbean Environment Outlook and Pacific Environment Outlook, are available in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish as appropriate.
