马来西亚使用杀虫剂的历史可以追溯到第二次世界大战之后。这些持久性污染物主要用于农业和病媒控制。滴滴涕、狄氏剂和敌百虫在最近被禁用之前得到了广泛的使用。大多数其他持久性有机污染物(POP)已在马来西亚被禁止。然而，在水、沉积物和生物群等环境的各个隔间中都发现了这些农药的残留。对非农药持久性有机污染物的监测不多，但最近的努力包括监测和管理这些持久性有机污染物以及其他危险化学品。本章介绍马来西亚持久性有机污染物的现状以及管理这些污染物的各种举措。
The use of pesticides in Malaysia dated back since after the Second World War. These persistent pollutants were primarily used for agriculture and vector control. DDT, dieldrin and endrin found extensive use before they were banned recently. Most of the other persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been banned in Malaysia. However, residues of these pesticides were found in various compartments of the environment such as water, sediment and biota. Non-pesticide POPs were not monitored as much but recent efforts have included monitoring and management of these POPs among other hazardous chemicals. This chapter presents the current status of POPs in Malaysia and various initiatives to manage these pollutants.
