Toxics campaign background

Toxic contamination

Toxic contamination

The production of synthetic organic chemicals has exploded since the first world war. There are now an estimated 100,000 different synthetic chemicals in use. The health and environmental effects of many of these remain largely unknown and untested. Of these chemical compounds, Greenpeace has prioritised Persistent Organic Pollutants, or POPs.
