Protect Human Health & the Environment from Unintentional Releases of Persistent Organic Pollutants
The project’s main objective is to protect humans’ health and the environment by reducing POPs and other hazardous releases (e.g. mercury, lead, etc.) resulting from the unsound management of healthcare and electronic wastes by demonstrating and promoting Best Available Techniques (BAT) and Best Environmental Practices (BEP) to soundly manage and dispose wastes through improving the regulatory system, enhancing its enforcement, raising awareness on these pollutants, and establishing the capacity for safe handling, transport and improved disposal of the pollutants containing waste.
