Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment is making significant progress in the assessment and management of environmental risks associated with new pollutants, focusing on the prevention and control of these substances through various regulatory measures and pilot projects [2][3][4]. Group 1: New Pollutant Management Progress - Since 2022, a total of 802 new chemical substances have been registered, with 1,365 environmental risk control measures proposed to prevent the generation of new pollutants [4][5]. - The Ministry has implemented prohibitions, restrictions, and limits on 14 categories of key controlled new pollutants, particularly targeting industries such as dyeing and coatings [4][5]. - Three batches of 27 pilot projects for new pollutant management have been initiated, focusing on high-risk substances like perfluorinated compounds and antibiotics [5][6]. Group 2: Collaborative Governance and Regulatory Framework - A joint inter-ministerial coordination group has been established, comprising 15 national departments, to enhance collaboration in new pollutant governance [3][4]. - Each province has developed its own new pollutant management work plan, creating a framework where the national government coordinates, provinces take overall responsibility, and local governments implement actions [3][4]. - The Ministry is working on establishing a national monitoring network for new pollutants and enhancing risk warning systems [6]. Group 3: Challenges and Future Directions - The Ministry acknowledges that the governance of new pollutants in China is still in its early stages, facing challenges such as weak foundational work, incomplete regulatory frameworks, and insufficient financial support [5][6]. - Future efforts will focus on accelerating the construction of a collaborative governance and environmental risk control system for new pollutants [5][6].
