Country situation report on POPs in Cameroon.
The activity aimed to evaluate the Cameroonian situation in terms of POPs and to bring awareness-raising and decision elements to NGOs and actors involved in the Stockholm Convention implementation. The activity addressed POPs sources, legislation related to POPs, the current state of Convention implementation, and NGO involvement in the National Implementation Plan and Convention implementation. The study revealed obsolete pesticide stocks of dieldrin and heptachlor and waste dumps likely to contain PCBs and other toxic substances. CAPANET recommended an impact study of contaminated dump sites, better public awareness, and an open declaration by companies and the government of POPs stockpiles.
