Ireland's Third National Implementation Plan for Persistent Organic Pollutants
Year: 2026
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are a group of hazardous chemicals that persist in the environment, can bioaccumulate in the food chain, and can be toxic to human health and the environment. Examples of POPs include some older pesticides such as DDT, flame retardants found in older furniture, specific types of industrial chemicals, some of which were used in firefighting foam, and pollutants released from illegal burning of waste. The UN Stockholm Convention on POPs is a global treaty which aims to protect human health and the environment from POPs. Ireland became a Party to this Convention in 2010 and is required to develop a National Implementation Plan (NIP) on POPs and update it as necessary. New POPs have been identified globally in the past few years. In 2026 the EPA updated Ireland’s National Implementation Plan for Persistent Organic Pollutants to include these new chemicals.
