Banned pollutants are substances that are prohibited from being produced, used, or released into the environment due to their harmful effects on human health and ecosystems. Examples include certain heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) like DDT, and specific industrial chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Regulatory frameworks, such as the Stockholm Convention, aim to eliminate or restrict these pollutants to protect public health and the environment. The ban often stems from scientific evidence linking these substances to serious health risks and ecological damage.

Examples include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), certain heavy metals, and pesticides like DDT. Despite being banned or restricted, these pollutants can accumulate in ecosystems and pose risks to human health and wildlife over long periods. Their lingering presence often complicates environmental remediation efforts.
