Greenpeace Toxics Campaign
The Greenpeace Toxics Campaign focuses on an end to the manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous, synthetic substances - particularly persistent organic pollutants (POP’s) - on a global scale. Greenpeace also seeks an end to the migration of dirty technologies to regions of the world least equipped to deal with inevitable, industrial disasters. Their activists raise public awareness about the dangers of industrial pollution, and encourage governments and industries to convert to clean modes of production. Their website has excellent information on a number of issues related to toxics as a global threat to human health and the environment.
