Popis:	The global monitoring plan (GMP) established under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) had defined ambient air, human milk or blood, and water as core matrices to be analyzed and assessed for spatial and temporal distribution. Within projects coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), developing countries were offered to have other matrices analyzed for dioxin-like POPs (dl-POPs) in experienced laboratories. Subsequently, 185 samples from 27 countries located in Africa, Asia, and Latin America were collected during 2018-2019 and analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDD), dibenzofurans (PCDF), and biphenyls (PCB). Using the WHO2005 toxic equivalency approach (TEQ), the amounts of dl-POPs found were low ( The work presented in this paper was developed under agreement with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) with funds from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through four projects ‘(Continuing) support for the implementation of the global monitoring plan under the Stockholm Convention in the African/Asian/GRULAC/Pacific islands region’. We thank all partners in the project countries for providing the national samples.
