9789241510417Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Chlordecone, also known as Kepone, is a pesticide that was used to control insects on crops like bananas and potatoes. It belongs to a group of chemicals called persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which means it doesn't break down easily in the environment and can build up in the bodies of animals and people over time. Because of these properties, chlordecone can travel long distances in air and water, and it poses risks to wildlife and human health. The Stockholm Convention on POPs, a global treaty, added chlordecone to its list of chemicals for elimination in 2009 (Annex A). This means countries that signed the treaty agree to stop producing and using it, with some exceptions for specific needs. The regulation aims to protect ecosystems and people from long-term exposure. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
