International HCH and Pesticides Association


The International HCH & Pesticides Association (IHPA) is an independent and non-political network of committed individuals that wants to draw international attention on the world-wide problems stemming from the production and use of HCH and other obsolete pesticides and its dangers for human health and the environment.

The IHPA has made its full commitment to use all its strength and know how to contribute actively to the solution of problems stemming from the production and use of HCH and other obsolete pesticides in Central European and EECCA (Eastern European, Caucasus and Central Asia) Countries .


Obsolete Pesticides: the side of the world we do not know about it

This video shows the real situation in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia, where poor people in the country side live on top or next to the most dangerous and forbidden pesticides.
Their food is infested by these pesticides and their children and cattle roam around at these places and play with their life.

The video appeals to viewers to take action now and help so that fast steps can be taken to eliminate these obsolete pesticides in order to free humans, animals the environment from these dangers

The IHPA is thus working towards a regional strategy, based on support of all international and national stakeholders, to solve this serious regional problem by means of the creation and stimulation of an active network. This so called "True Living Network" will create the bases for a joint and broadly supported international platform able to prepare specific action programs.

The IHPA relies on the help of its Ambassadors and Science centres.
