China's VOC Management and Impact on the Chemical Industry
Sep 09, 2019
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a low boiling point (below 250ºC) at atmospheric pressure. While most of them are not acutely toxic, they are known to have negative long-term effects on human health. According to a study published in 2017, in China the use of VOC-containing products is the main source of VOC emissions, contributing about 75% of total emissions. Other sources are the production of VOCs (10%), the use of VOCs as raw materials (9%) and storage/transportation of VOCs (5%).

China Scales Back Pollution Control Campaign to Offset Impact of US Tariffs
Oct 22, 2018
China’s chemical industry is the nation’s 3rd largest contributor to economic growth. Approximately 25% of the products/commodities subject to increased US tariffs are produced by China’s chemical industry. To offset the impact of US tariffs, MEE will throttle back on environmental protection goals and reduce requirements for PM2.5 concentration and the number of days of heavy pollution permitted. MEE will no longer demand an arbitrary and mandatory cut in production rates but will instead allow provincial/local governments to tailor an individualized scheme.

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.
