Oct 27, 2023
Currently the biggest challenge faced is that the fifth draft combines everything into one regulation which is quite complex, while at the same time, key part like GHS is missing except for a simple reference to UN GHS Rev.8. In addition, the complex configuration in administrative structure and the associated administrative fee obviously require improvement to facilitate practical implementation.

China’s New Pollutants Treatment: A Long Way to Go
New pollutants refer to toxic and hazardous substances that are discharged into the environment with characteristics of biological toxicity, environmental persistence and bioaccumulation, etc. They tend to possess significant risks to the ecological environment or human health, but are usually unregulated or the existing regulation measures are insufficient. As one of the largest chemical producers in the world, it is paramount for China to strengthen the regulation of new pollutants to mitigate potential risks to the environment and human health.
