Pop
* Many POPs are endocrine disruptors and several pesticides are both endocrine disruptors and POPs.
* Most POPs are either pesticides or byproducts of industrial processes.
* accumulate in body fat and are passed from mother to fetus in the womb
  - fat and their concentration increases at each step of the food chain
* affect reproductive systems.
* are chemicals or by-products that resist degradation in the environment
  - effective in preventing pregnancy when taken consistently and daily, at the same time
* are highly stable chemical compounds that can last for years or decades before breaking down
  - organic compounds used as pesticides or in industry
  - toxic and very resistant to natural breakdown in the environment
  - long-lived chemicals that build up in the food chain and slowly poison animals and humans
  - mainly pesticides, industrial chemicals or by-products of industrial processes
  - mostly pesticides like DDT, later shown to have dangerous side-effects on birds and humans
  - persistent organic pollutants
  - primarily products and by-products of human industry that are of relatively recent origin
  - semi-volatile chemicals
  - stick tights with no meat inside
* bioaccumulate in living organisms, persist in the environment and have long-term toxic effects.
* build up in the fat of game animals such as polar bear.
* can accumulate in fatty tissues in animals and humans
  - kill, cause birth defects or generate diseases such as cancer
* can travel great distances around the globe through the atmosphere
  - through the air and water thousands of miles from their source
* commonly used way to retrieve email from a mail server machine.
* comprise a large number of chemicals that have a wide range of uses.
* cornucopia and a continuum.
* defines how unfiled e-mail is downloaded from a mail server to a client mail program.
* derive from sources like pesticides, dioxins and industrial chemicals.
* differ from other pollutants because they are extremely difficult to break down.
* have a number of noncontraceptive benefits
  - the potential to injure humans and wildlife even at low concentrations
* is about entertainment, and politics is about debate
  - accepted as an art form
  - also a method for retrieving e-mail from a mail server
* is an acronym for P ost O ffice P rotocol
  - old fashion word for pawn

  - popular music
* is the grandfather figure that many people can relate to and appreciate
  - hot new acronym for Persistent Organic Pollutants
  - oldest and best known message protocol
  - used to receive and read e-mail from a web page
* mechanism for allowing people to download mail from the server to which it is delivered.
* migrate by air and fall onto into the water in the colder regions.
* permeate through the membrane and are absorbed by and therefore concentrate in the lipid.
* protocol for retrieving email
  - that mail programs use to download mail from a POP mail server
* rather simple protocol that retrieves messages from an user's inbox.
* refers to the way that e-mail software like POPmail gets mail from a mail server.
* represent a very small percentage of organic compounds.
* service provider's location for connecting to users.
* spread easily through air and water and are found virtually everywhere.
* stems from mushroom caps
  - out of large mushrooms
* tend to accumulate in the fatty tissues of fish, seals, polar bears, and humans
  - concentrate in colder climates such as Canada's north
  - migrate towards colder regions of the north
