Uzbekistan ratifies the Stockholm Convention

From today, September 26, provisions of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants have become mandatory for Uzbekistan. The document was adopted on May 22, 2001 in the Swedish capital - Stockholm.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to date, the number of countries that have acceded to the Convention has reached 183.
Main objective of the Convention is to ban the production and use (with the exception of some items) of twelve chemicals on the list of POPs, to limit the use of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) for malaria control, and to develop programs to curb the unintentional formation of dioxins and furans.
In accordance with the provisions of the document, participants undertake to monitor the production of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), their import and export, their disposal, as well as assist in the use of advanced methods and technologies to replace existing POPs.
Participation of Uzbekistan in the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants will improve the ecology and prevent possible harmful effects on the population, environment and wildlife.
