WHAT IS THE POPs REGULATION 2019/1021?
POPs stands for persistent organic pollutants. In Europe, the global Stockholm Convention is implemented
through POPs legislation. POPs are organic substances that persist in the environment, accumulate in living
organisms and pose a risk to our health and the environment. They can be transported by air, water or migratory
species across international borders, reaching regions where they have never been produced or used.
International risk management is necessary as no region can manage the risks posed by these substances alone.
The European Parliament (and Council) issued regulation 2019/1021 on 20/JUN/2019, and further amended
(regulation 2020/784) on 8/APR/2020.
