Development and Promotion of non-POPs Alternatives to DDT

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), are working with India to develop and promote non-persistent organic pollutants (POPs) alternatives to DDT in the fight against malaria. These alternatives include long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), Bt-based products, and neem-based products.
In this context, supported by GEF and UNEP, Toxics Link developed guidance documents to support producers, registration holders, and users in fulfilling the legal requirements at the various stages of the lifecycle of these DDT alternatives. These guidance documents were developed in consultation with the vector control experts of the National Centre for Vector Borne Diseases Control (NCVBDC), officials of the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare, the Ministry of Ayush, industry representatives, and other vector control experts. These documents are expected to facilitate the use of DDT alternatives in the country and a smooth transition from DDT to environmentally friendly alternatives.
