This section of the POPs web pages aims at facilitating information exchange, on both POPs themselves as well as on alternatives, techniques and approaches for replacing or reducing/eliminating releases of POPs.

It should be noted that not only chemical substitutes are covered but also biological, environmental and other alternative approaches, as well as experiences in using these. A number of these information products are developed in collaboration with other organizations with specialization in certain fields, like WHO and FAO, or based on their work.
