Grimalt Comunicación DDT Science and policy wetland preservation chemical compound governance international management bodies A key element in the improvement of human living conditions brought about by the Industrial Revolution was the synthesis of new chemical compounds, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). These innovations had positive effects on humans and, indirectly, on some ecosystems, such as wetlands. However, many of these compounds also had harmful effects on both humans and wildlife, which were only discovered decades after they were first used. Now, an international group of scientists has proposed the creation of a body similar to the International Panel on Climate Change to study the compounds being produced and to provide social and political managers with the information required to avoid these problems. The United Nations Environment Assembly has decided to create this body. 2025 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511782473007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782473007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782473007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782473007/511782473007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782473007/movil 10.7203/metode.15.27513 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.2 Vol.15 |
