We welcome you at the site dedicated to the solution of the problem of
persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Belarus.
The principle objective of the site is to provide the organizations and people interested in solving the problem of POPs with the information on POPs, their impact on people’s health and environment, current situation with POPs in Belarus, environmentally sound management and handling of POPs, modern technologies of POPs destruction and measures taken in Belarus to reduce and prevent the POPs impact.
