The Toxicowatch foundation is an organization dedicated to creating a safer and healthier world by advancing the science of toxicology.
Working with communities, government and industry, Toxicowatch advances the critical knowledge base needed to provide robust industrial regulation, and improved outcomes for both industry and communities.
In this webinar, Toxicowatch research demonstrates that the POP emissions coming from waste incinerators in Europe, contaminates surrounding environments at levels of significant concern for human health and environmental protection.
Biomonitoring provides a robust method for measuring the impacts of waste incinerator pollution and supports the environmental justice and human rights of communities living in close proximity to waste incinerators, and the protection of biodiversity.
You can find Toxicowatch’s recent published paper on the importance of biomonitoring here – Introduction of Innovative Sampling Media for Biomonitoring of Environmental Loads of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).
