This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the studies on persistent toxic substances (PTS) in the Philippines environment. Available information on PTS in the Philippines was compiled on the basis of investigations conducted within the framework of multilateral cooperative research between Japan and the Philippines through the Core University Program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and the Asia-Pacific Mussel Watch Program. Results from other laboratories were likewise included to derive greater insights into the...
