global w430×h280 The "Environmental Monitoring and Analysis in the East Asian Region: Technology Transfer and Environmental Governance" project has been implemented by the United Nations University since 1996. This project involves the monitoring of chemical pollutants in the coastal environments of 10 Asian countries, for the purpose of creating a sustainable global environment. To date, investigative research focusing on volatile organic compounds (VOC), endocrine disrupting chemicals, and persistent organic pollutants (POP) has been implemented in five phases, with each phase consisting of three years.
