Prevention and control of health risks of emerging contaminants and influencing mechanism

Time:

 

Address:

 

The emerging pollutants exhibit characteristics of biotoxicity, environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, etc. Their sources are widespread, their impact severe, their environmental risk, and their remediation challenging. At present, the focus both domestically and internationally mainly lies on persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disruptors, antibiotics, and similar substances regulated by international conventions international conventions. China's efforts in controlling these pollutants had a late start, with a fragile foundation. The upcoming sub-forum on the Prevention, Controlling and Impact Mechanism of Health Risks of Emerging Pollutants aims to convene experts in the field for collaborative discussions, fostering scientific research cooperation and exchanges, promoting the assessment and prevention of environmental and health risks of emerging pollutants, to promote the development of standardized environmental risk management policies for toxic and harmful chemical substances.
