TI  - Selecting chemical substances for the UN-ECE POP protocol.
PG  - 617-30
AB  - In 1998 the UN-ECE POP Protocol was signed. Sixteen substances are included in 
      the protocol. They can be characterised as persistent, bioaccumulating and toxic 
      organic substances prone to long-range atmospheric transport. The Dutch Ministry 
      of Housing, Physical Planning and the Environment started a project to select 
      possible candidates for the protocol. In the first phase of the project possible 
      candidates were selected using the so-called 'PTB-database' applying the criteria 
      from the protocol. From the 12 substances that met the criteria four substances 
      were selected for which preliminary risk profiles were drafted: polychlorinated 
      naphthalenes, dicofol, hexachlorobutadiene and pentachlorobenzene. These profiles 
      are presented. Revised profiles have to be prepared for the UN-ECE LRTAP Ad hoc 
      Expert Group on persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Ultimately, the process 
      should lead to a proposal to include additional POPs to the UN-ECE POP Protocol.
