But with other POPs the transition to safer alternatives will require more effort. Alternatives may be more expensive and their manufacture and use more complicated. That could put developing countries in an awkward spot – struggling from day to day, the world's poor tend to use what they can afford and what is available. So it is not enough for the Convention simply to say No to its target list of POPs: It must also help governments find a way to say Yes to replacement solutions. Take the case of DDT. This pesticide harms health and the environment, but it is very good at killing and repelling. | Environment Agency Pollution Prevention and Control PPC Sector Permitting Plan - Chemicals 1. Objectives1 This Sector Permitting Plan SPP is one of a series that identifies key sectoral environmental issues. It aims to give operators in the Chemicals sector a steer on the priority that we give to the various aspects of Pollution Prevention and Control PPC and so will be of value in the preparation of PPC applications. SPPs will be used by our permitting teams to focus industry efforts towards producing environmental improvements and preventing harm to human health through the PPC permits. They will also inform the drafting of our PPC guidance notes and will in turn advise staff of the issues they must address with particular care during application determination and compliance assessment. Through our Chemical Strategy we are giving increasing consideration to priority substances that may have adverse environmental impact. Since PPC is an important vehicle for collecting information and effecting improvements the SPP also identifies these priority substances. The SPP is aimed at the practicalities of PPC and is distinct from our Chemicals Sector Plan which will provide medium-term strategic coverage of a broader range of environmental issues. Reissue2 of the SPP is timed to coincide with the 2005 application window but the SPP is written generically and will be useful in the preparation of any Chapter 4 PPC application. 2. Introduction Chemicals is one of the largest sectors covered by the Pollution Prevention and Control PPC Regulations 2000 SI 2000 1973 and will be regulated predominantly by the Environment Agency.
