International Day Without Pesticides

International Day Without Pesticides is declared annually by the Pesticide International Network. On this day, we commemorate the accident that occurred on the night of December 3, 1984, at a pesticide factory in the Indian city of Bhopal. It has been celebrated since 1998, when the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Substances and Pesticides in International Trade was adopted in Rotterdam.
