PBT STRATEGY
EPA/742/D-98/001 Draft Multimedia Strategy for Priority Persistent,
Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) Pollutants .
(29 pp) ' ' 'November 1998
The goal of this strategy is to further reduce risks to human
health and the environment from existing and future-exposure to
priority persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT).pollutants.
The U. S.. Environmental Protection "Agency .(EPA) has developed
this draft strategy to- overcome the remaining challenges in
addressing priority PBT pollutants. The pollutants pose risks
because they are toxic, persist .in ecosystems, and accumulate in
fish and up the food chain. ;

research, and outreach to characterize and reduce risks .. ;
associated .with mercury.- It involves multimedia and cross-office
actions, quantitative challenge.goals, stakeholder engagement,
international coordination,; and long-term emphasis on pollution
prevention. In these ways, the Draft Mercury Action Plan is-"
