In this section, we present European maps of critical loads and their exceedances. These values have been used for multi-pollutant, multi-effect Protocol of UNECE Long-Range Trans-boundary Air Pollution Convention signed in Gothenburg in December 1999. 

In May 2001 in Stockholm, ninety-one countries signed the United Nations Persistent Organic Pollutants Convention to ban twelve organic chemicals over the next decade.

Historically, several international instruments, including the Stockholm Persistent Organic Pollutants Convention (POPs) [32], the Rotterdam Primary Informed Consent Convention [33] and the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes [34], OSPARCOM [35], HELCOM [36] and their disposal address specific chemical issues. 

Three classes of pollutants (conventional, nonconventional and toxic) were established by the Clean Water Act of 1977 and are listed in Table I.

The toxic pollutants are those identified in the 1976 Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC) Consent Decree. Pollutants not otherwise designated are classified as nonconventional (9) All three types have been detected in both ground and surface waters.

Already there are certain restrictions for certain non-biodegradable plastic packaging materials (the US Plastics Pollution Research and Control Act of 1987, Public Law 100-220 and the Annex of the MARPOL (marine pollution) Convention - the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships which prohibit the disposal of plastics at sea, which allowed the US Navy promote the development of aquatic biodegradable plastics at sea. 

In Europe, a reference list has been developed by water pollution directives and by the impact of international pollution conventions. A detailed description of this development is given in reference [2].
