    [ Policies and Regulations of Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] In order to implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, in accordance with the relevant “emphasis on new The Ministry of Ecology and Environment organized the preparation of the "Action Plan for the Treatment of New Pollutants (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)" for the work deployment of "pollutant control", which is now open for comments

    At present, positive progress has been made in the prevention and control of air, water, and soil pollution in China, and environmental quality has continued to improve, and "clear sky and clear water" is becoming a reality
    .
    But at the same time, the environmental and health risks caused by new pollutants are gradually receiving extensive attention from all walks of life
    .

     

    New pollutants are different from conventional pollutants.
    They refer to pollutants that have been recently discovered or have been of concern, have risks to the ecological environment or human health, have not been included in management, or existing management measures are insufficient to effectively prevent and control their risks
    .
    Most of the new pollutants have the characteristics of biological toxicity, environmental persistence, and bioaccumulation.
    Even if the concentration is low in the environment, they may also have significant environmental and health risks, and their hazards are potentially and concealed
    .
    The production and use of toxic and hazardous chemicals are the main sources of new pollutants
    .
    China is a big country in the production and use of chemicals, with a wide variety of new pollutants, widespread distribution and unclear numbers, and high environmental and health risks
    .
    Effectively preventing and controlling environmental and health risks of new pollutants is an important part of the construction of a beautiful and healthy China, and is related to the proliferation and sustainable development of the Chinese nation
    .
    In order to effectively strengthen the control of new pollutants, ensure the safety of the national ecological environment and the health of the people, this action plan is formulated
    .

     

    The action plan includes overall requirements, work objectives, action measures and the first batch of key control new pollutants list
    .

     

      The overall requirements part emphasizes the guiding ideology, working principles, work focus and significance of new pollutant treatment
    .
    In contrast to the “Outline”’s goals and requirements for building a beautiful China and ecological and environmental protection, the work objectives put forward specific targets for the treatment of new pollutants in 2025 and long-term goals for 2035
    .
    By 2025, the focus will be on laying foundations, building systems, and focusing on managing and controlling the environmental risks of a number of new pollutants that are of high concern at home and abroad
    .
    On the basis of the "14th Five-Year Plan", after another ten years of hard work, by 2035, a relatively complete new pollutant control system will be established, the ability to control environmental risks of new pollutants will be greatly improved, and the environmental risks of new pollutants will be basically controlled
    .

     

      There are six actions
    .
    The first action is to establish and improve the legal system for the environmental risk management of chemical substances, and improve the environmental risk assessment and management control system
    .
    The second action is to carry out environmental investigation and monitoring of new pollutants and environmental risk assessment, identify new pollutants under key control, and dynamically release a list of new pollutants under key control
    .
    Actions 3, 4, and 5 are environmental risk management and control of new pollutants throughout the life cycle, including strict control of the source of new pollutant products, strengthening control of production and use processes, and strengthening the coordinated management of new pollutants in multiple environmental media such as air, water, and soil.
    And other measures
    .
    The sixth action is to consolidate the foundation and guarantee for the treatment of new pollutants, clearly strengthen organization and leadership, strengthen supervision and law enforcement, broaden funding channels, increase scientific and technological support, strengthen basic capacity building, strengthen social co-governance, strengthen publicity and education, and strengthen international exchanges And cooperation and other specific requirements
    .
