Introduction Over the past 13 years, government organizations in North America and internationally have developed strategies to eliminate and reduce the production, use, and release of persistent bioaccumulative toxic substances (PBTSs) in response to the mounting scientific evidence that toxic substances of this type pose greater risks to human health and the environment than do others.
3) The story is similar with other long-lived, dangerous chemicals, known collectively as Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxic substances (PBTs).
Such chemicals are known as bioaccumulative chemicals of concern (BCCs), or persistent bioaccumulative toxic (PBT) substances, which take long to decay and concentrate as they move through the food chain.
