Global day of action: together against pesticide damage.
A Global Day of Action, organized by the Société Marocaine de Toxicologie Clinique et Analytique, raised awareness about the danger of pesticides in Morocco and included a detailed discussion of the Stockholm Convention, what constitutes POPs substances and the epidemiology and health risks of POPs. The audience included members of the private sector; NGOs working in environment and development; representatives from the Ministries of Environment, Agriculture, Industry and Health; community health professionals; media; university students; and the general public.
