<span dir="">Their industrial production, use and harmful effects in the case of these chemicals can be very far apart, both in time and space, so their limited use and the avoidance of harm are only feasible and purposeful through international cooperation and agreements.</span>
<span dir="">In addition to POPs produced synthetically for commercial purposes, various POPs formed unintentionally during manufacturing or combustion processes ('unintentionally produced POPs', uPOP) are also included.

<span dir="">In the following chapter as the use of plant protection products containing hexachlorobenzene as an impurity in agriculture is examined in more detail and the results show that HCB emissions in the course of time only occur in minor quantities as emissions in Germany. With the coming years, when the bans become effective, HCB emissions in this sector will no longer be reported. Their occurrence will then only be detectable as secundary emissions from residues (such as contaminated soils).</span>
<span dir="">The methodology and results for HCB emissions is described in the German informative inventory report. For the latest version see here:</span>
