The report "POPs in Eggs from Two Sites in Kenya" investigates contamination near two medical waste incinerators in Kenya. Conducted by CEJAD, Arnika, and IPEN, the study examines the presence of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in eggs collected from these areas. POPs, including dioxins, PCBs, PFASs and brominated flame retardants, pose serious health risks due to their bioaccumulative and toxic nature. The findings highlight high levels of contamination, raising concerns about public health and environmental safety.
