Logan and Albert Conservation Association

The International POPs Elimination Network (IPEN) is a global network of more than 600 public interest non-governmental organizations working together for the elimination of persistent organic pollutants, on an expedited yet socially equitable basis. This mission includes achieving a world in which all chemicals are produced and used in ways that eliminate significant adverse effects on human health and the environment, and where persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and chemicals of equivalent concern no longer pollute our local and global environments, and no longer contaminate our communities, our food, our bodies, or the bodies of our children and future generations.

The participating organisations of IPEN are those NGOs who have endorsed the IPEN Stockholm Declaration and the IPEN Dubai Declaration for a Toxic Free Future. They call upon all government and stakeholders to work together to reform chemicals assessment and management, laws, policies and practices to achieve a Toxics-Free Future by 2020 in all countries. 

In addition to the organizations names and country of origin, further contact information may be available from the IPEN Secretariat from an email to  ipen[at]ipen.org.

The National Toxics Network (NTN) is a community based network working for pollution reduction, protection of environmental health and environmental justice for all.
NTN was first formed in 1993 and since then has grown as a national network to support community and environmental organisations across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

NTN provides non-government organisations (NGOs) with a national and international voice on chemical and toxics issues. As the Australian focal point for the International POPs Elimination Network (IPEN), NTN hosts the international IPEN working group on community monitoring and body burden and works towards the full implementation of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) 2001 and other global chemical conventions.

Internationally, NTN has represented Australian and global NGOs at the OECD Chemical Joint Meetings and is actively involved in the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety (IFCS) providing an Australian focal point for their INFOCAP information and capacity building program.

An egroup has been set up by the National Toxics Network (NTN) to enable useful discussion of the toxics-reduction policies and alternatives to toxics (eg perfume-free public spaces, organic farming) the effects of toxics and regulatory and other controls of toxics in order to prevent or manage exposure to organisms and contamination of environmental media (air, water, soil, dust, sediments, wastes, etc).

There are many links from the home page relating to environmental health impacts of fluoride in water and also as a food additive. Of note are the comments by  Professor Trevor A Sheldon [tas5(at)york.ac.uk] that statements that mislead the public about a water fluoridation study review have appeared in the media. He comments "The review did not show water fluoridation to be safe. ... The report recommended that more research was needed."
