What are "new pollutants"?
What are "new pollutants"?Generally speaking, new pollutants are those chemicals that are not included in routine environmental monitoring, but present a risk of environmental pollution
.
.
There are five main types of known new pollutants
.
These include fluorinated and brominated POPs, environmental endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, microplastics and nanomaterials, and more
.
In the future, the types of new pollutants may continue to increase, and these currently known pollutants will gradually be included in routine environmental supervision
.
Among them, the existence of microplastic pollution in the environment is persistent, and the content of microplastics in the environment is increasing

.
.
Current research shows that microplastics can coexist with various natural resources such as the atmosphere, soil, ocean, and fresh water, and can enter cosmetics, food, and even the human body
.
On the whole, although microplastics are a new pollutant, it is more urgent to carry out pollution prevention and control work against microplastic pollution

Many companies in the soil remediation industry said that microplastic pollution is a difficult problem in soil remediation.
The diameter of the particles is less than 5mm, and many of them are not easy to distinguish, which leads to an unsatisfactory removal rate during work
.
In fact, not only the soil remediation industry has this problem, but also environmental protection fields such as water treatment and gas treatment are forced to absorb different degrees of microplastic pollution

According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the global production of primary plastics will reach 34 billion tons by 2050
.
The plastic crisis is spreading further, and the United Nations has recently signed a new resolution called "Ending Plastic Pollution", which will take legal effect in 2024, rejecting the coercion of plastic pollution and ending the problem of plastic pollution

China also clearly stated in the "14th Five-Year Plan for Plastic Pollution Control Action Plan" that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we must vigorously develop the recycled plastic industry, promote the standardized recycling and removal of plastic waste, and improve the harmless disposal of plastic waste.

etc.
.
It should be seen that the current level of plastic recycling in China is not high, and the recycling rate of waste plastics has not reached half
.
Based on this, how to further strengthen the control of plastic pollution?

Based on this, how to further strengthen the control of plastic pollution?
The previously released "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution" has made it clear:
1.
Prohibit or restrict the production, sale and use of some plastic products
.
Including ultra-thin plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.
025 mm, polyethylene agricultural mulch films with a thickness of less than 0.
01 mm,
etc.
By the end of 2022, the sale of daily chemical products containing plastic microbeads will be banned

.
There are also a number of NPC deputies to offer advice and suggestions for the prevention and control of plastic pollution
.
.
For example, it is necessary to do a good job in the top-level design of the development of biodegradable materials, further improve the technical level of biodegradable materials, and enhance the high-end industry of biodegradable materials;
For example, it is recommended to completely prohibit takeaway platforms from actively providing disposable plastic tableware, determine the reduction target of plastic tableware by 2030, and incorporate this regulation into local waste classification management regulations
.
.
With the aggravation of plastic pollution, plastic pollution, including microplastic pollution, will definitely be treated more deeply, and the treatment plan to deal with plastic pollution will be further clarified and refined
