Releases from contaminated sites
In accordance with Article 6 of the Stockholm Convention, Parties are required to endeavor to develop appropriate strategies for identifying sites contaminated by chemicals listed in Annex A, B or C and, if remediation of those sites is undertaken, it shall be performed in an environmentally sound manner.
