Experts have underscored the need for effective strategies to contain the long-lasting effects of persistent organic pollutants (POP).
They also called for an all-India mitigation project in this regard at a workshop on ‘Review and update of national strategies for persistent organic pollutants management’ held at the CSIR-National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST).
Sharad P. Kale, former scientist at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, highlighted the need to consider waste management as an “individual responsibility.”
