CBCGDF Contributes to China's Strides Towards Comprehensive Pollution Control Measures | Policy Advisory on New Pollutants Standardisation & Regulation


Recently, the Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment is currently soliciting extensive feedback on the "Draft of the New Pollutant Ecological Environment Monitoring Standards System." This initiative aims to establish new monitoring standards specifically tailored to address emerging pollutants, thereby enhancing monitoring and management of these substances. 


On March 25, 2024, the Chemicals Working Group of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) convened a symposium to delve into this issue and propose recommendations for the relevant standards.


The draft proposal encompasses a wide array of novel pollutants, including microplastics, antibiotics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, and other substances spanning various domains. Originating from diverse sources such as industrial production, agricultural activities, and daily emissions, these pollutants pose potential threats to the ecological environment. Hence, the formulation of new monitoring standards is deemed imperative to safeguard environmental quality and public health.


These new standards not only address key emerging pollutants outlined in the "Key Control List of New Pollutants (2023 Edition)," the obligations under the Basel, Rotterdam, and Stockholm Conventions, and the "Priority Control List of Chemicals" (both first and second batches), but also signify a crucial step in response to the current environmental pollution scenario and advancements in scientific research.


By instituting these new monitoring standards, China seeks to comprehensively and meticulously assess the distribution, sources, and potential impacts of emerging pollutants on the environment and human health. This endeavor aims to furnish scientific grounds for formulating corresponding prevention and control measures, thereby propelling the ongoing efforts in ecological environmental protection.


As a national first-level association in China and an observer of the international chemical conventions (namely the Stockholm Convention, the Basel Convention, and the Rotterdam Convention), the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation will actively provide insights and recommendations in this endeavor.
