Global Environmental Monitoring As A Tool For Cooperation To Solve Regional Problems

Using the example of the Global Monitoring of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) network structure, we show directions for successful cooperation in various regions of the world to address the fundamental and applied scientific aspects of regional environmental problems, as well as the existing shortcomings and limitations in interaction between countries. It shows the participation of the Russian Federation in global environmental projects, the prospect of their development and the impact on the current state with the implementation of global monitoring in the country using the example of the special monitoring process for high-toxic organic pollutants (GMP). GMP database as a part of POP in breast milk in the Russian Federation was used, which was supplemented with data from scientific literature and own research. Russia's participation in international studies of POP in biological samples, including breast milk and/or blood, organization of national programs to study population exposure to POP, continued participation in World Health Organization (WHO) and others to mark the level of pollution and its trends for the Russian population are required in comparison with other regions of the world. Presentation of data on POP in human biological fluids into international databases and the organization of biosample storage banks will allow filling information gaps from Russia and assess the results of Stockholm Convention actions.
