POPS

Global monitoring plan also regularly produces regional reports that summarize changes in POPs concentrations over time and its outputs and visualizations generated by the GMP DWH. Structure of the reports showing comparable, harmonized and reliable information on POPs levels in core environmental matrices (air, human tissues (breast milk/blood), and water) is defined by a technical document, Guidance on the global monitoring plan for persistent organic pollutants which was adopted in 2007 and since then it has been continuously updated. The documents specify which POPs, including their congeners, isomers, precursors, transformation and degradation products, should be monitored to receive the most comprehensive information. This information is then mirrored in the structure and scope of the GMP DWH... The designations employed and the presentations shown in this portal are possible options, based on expert judgment, for the purpose of providing comparable POPs monitoring data for the..
