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.
