Environmental Processes and Effects of New Pollutants in Waste Treatment Sites

Time:

 

Address:

 

In recent years, the world has produced at an alarming rate of waste. Although some waste can recover valuable materials after disposal, it also releases a large number of new pollutants into the environment and pose great risks to the ecological environment and human health. At present, the new pollutants of wide concern at home and abroad mainly include persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disruptors, antibiotics and microplastics that are regulated by international conventions. There are numerous types of pollutants, making risk management difficult. Therefore, clarifying the occurrence, transformation, trend and related effects of relevant new pollutants in the environment of the waste disposal site is an important prerequisite for pollution control and environmental risk assessment. It can also provide a scientific basis for the effective management and green development of the waste recycling industry.
