The State Council recently The issued “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Ecological and Environmental Protection” proposes to consolidate the foundation for chemical risk prevention and control and strengthen the capacity building for environmental and health risk assessment of toxic and hazardous chemicals. Experts believe that it is urgent to effectively prevent environmental risks and actively promote my country’s chemical environmental legislation.
It is understood that our country is A major producer and consumer of chemicals. According to “ChinaAccording to statistics from the Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances (2013 Edition), the chemical substances produced and used in our country exceed 45,000 types, and nearly a hundred new chemical substances are registered every year. As the types of toxic and hazardous chemicals continue to increase, regional, structural, and layout-based environmental risks have become increasingly prominent.
Relying on the Ministry of Environmental Protection Solid Waste and Chemical ManagementTechnologyCenter, the Chemical Environmental Risk Prevention and Control Committee of the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences was recently established in Beijing . The reporter learned from the founding conference that the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) proposed that chemical exposure has become an important environmental risk. Chemicals have huge potential environmental and health risks and are gradually becoming an important area of environmental management for the international community and developed countries. Since the beginning of this year, the “Changzhou Foreign Languages School Pollution Incident” and “Toxic Runway” incidents have occurred continuously in our country, highlighting the importance of chemical environmental risk prevention and control in our country.

Experts attending the meeting believed that my country Chemical environmental management started late. Compared with traditional pollution prevention and control, there is a lack of legal system for chemical environmental management, and a coordinated control system for toxic and harmful substances in different environmental media has not yet been formed. my country’s current technical system and prevention and control methods for the identification, assessment and management of toxic and hazardous chemical substances are not yet complete. At the same time, developed countries have also brought huge challenges to my country’s import and export trade by strengthening the prevention and control of chemical environmental risks. Experts pointed out that during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, legislation on chemical environmental risk prevention and control should be promoted, talent training and related capacity building should be strengthened.
