Accession:CHEBI:77853 term browser browse the term
Definition:Any environmental contaminant that is resistant to environmental degradation through photolytic, biological or chemical processes. Such substances can have significant impact on health and the environment, as they persist in the environment, bioaccumulate in animal tissue and so biomagnify in food chains.
Synonyms:related_synonym: POP;   POPs;   persistent organic pollutants
