INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS:
Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP) The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP) was originally established in 1991 to advise the governments of the eight Arctic countries (Canada, Denmark/Greenland, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States) on matters relating to threats to the Arctic region from pollution and associated issues. The Global Monitoring Programme will provide comparable monitoring data on the presence of POPs as well as their regional and global environmental transport. Includes information on national, regional, and international monitoring programmes that are involved with chemical analyses of the twelve POPs subject to the Stockholm Convention. EMEP is a scientifically based and policy driven program under the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution for international co-operation to solve transboundary air pollution problems.
Meteorological Synthesizing Centre-East (MSC-E) Meteorological Synthesizing Centre-East (Moscow, Russia) was established in 1979 as an international centre of EMEP. Several international organizations and programs are carrying out a range of projects related to the long-range atmospheric transport of POPs and heavy metals.
Norwegian Institute for Air Research, NILU Norwegian Institute for Air Research, NILU, is an independent research institute founded in 1969. The institute conducts environmental research with emphasis on the sources of airborne pollution, atmospheric transport, transformation, and deposition and is also involved in the assessment of the effects of pollution on ecosystems, human health, and materials.
University of Lancaster Environmental Organic Chemistry and
Ecotoxicology Research Groups Contains information, publications and links focused on the sources, environmental cycling, fate and behavior of persistent organic pollutants. |
