At its sixth meeting, in Geneva, Switzerland, 28 April-10 May 2013, the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) requested the BRS Secretariat to prepare a report on progress toward the elimination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) on the basis of the third national reports submitted by Parties pursuant to Article 15 of the Stockholm Convention.
The objective of this consolidated assessment is to summarize available information on the amounts of PCB produced, the amounts that have been eliminated to date, and the amounts that still need to be eliminated in order to determine how much progress has been made towards the elimination of PCB.
