Organic pollutants are persistent organic pollutants(POPs). Examples are DDT and lindane, industrial chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and substances such as dioxins, all of which accumulate and are slow to degrade, and may have adverse impacts on human health and the environment.
