The Basel Action Network is an organization focused on confronting trade in toxic wastes and preventing disproportionate dumping of toxic waste and pollution on the world's poorest residents.

The organization has lately focused extensively on electronic waste, and specifically around preventing the export of those wastes to developing countries, where they are often dismantled in highly toxic and hazardous ways.

BAN's library is a trove of downloadable letters, speeches, editorials, reports, legislation and legal filings on topics from chemical weapons to asbestos to e-waste disposal. A valuable resource for the researcher, student, writer or anyone wishing to learn more about issues in toxic waste regulations and disposal.
