Jiang Guibin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and a fellow of The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), is an eminent expert in environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology. He currently serves as the Director of the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, CAS, and Dean of the College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). Concurrently, he holds the position of Director at the State Key Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology. He is a member of the National Environmental Advisory Council, Vice President of the Chinese Chemical Society, and is recognized as a strategic scientist in the field of environmental pollutant monitoring and risk control.

 

Academician Jiang Guibin has long been dedicated to research on emerging pollutant identification and control, toxicity mechanisms of hazardous waste, and environmental health risk assessment. His work provides core scientific support for hazardous waste disposal safety and chemical risk management in China’s "Zero-Waste City" initiatives:

 

He systematically revealed the environmental behavior and toxicological effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), microplastics, and other emerging contaminants.

 

He pioneered the development of high-sensitivity detection technologies and hazardous waste risk assessment systems.

 

He spearheaded the formulation of multiple national environmental standards (e.g., Technical Specifications for the Treatment and Disposal of Waste Chemical Reagents), driving advancements in hazardous waste classification management and innocuous treatment technologies.

 

He played a key role in national policy research for "Zero-waste City" pilot programs, proposing a solid waste governance pathway based on full life-cycle management of pollutants.

 

He has led over 50 major research projects, including the National Basic Research Program (973 Program) and NSFC Major Research Initiatives. His achievements have earned him more than 10 prestigious awards, notably the Second Prize of the National Natural Science Award (2010) for POPs detection technology and the CAS Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize. He authored the monograph Frontiers in Environmental Chemistry and other academic works. His research outcomes have been incorporated into revisions of the National Hazardous Waste Inventory and national pollution control standards.
