On the way to international integration, Vietnam has ratified many international conventions in the field of environment including Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). POPs are persistent in the environment and have negative impacts on the environment and human health. POPs listed in the Stockholm Convention needs to be minimized, replaced or removed. This paper analyses the social cost and benefit of removing PBDE and PFOS, which are among the newly listed POPs since 2013. The health and economic benefit of PBDE and PFOS removal in Vietnam is estimated at USD 58 million per year, which is greater than the cost estimated at USD 4 million. Thus removing PBDE and PFOS is beneficial from the social perspective. | Economic analysis of removing PBDE and PFOS under Stockholm convention on persistent organic pollutants in Vietnam
