Heavy metal pollution prevention and control upgrade environmental monitoring instruments to welcome opportunities

[ Hot Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China has achieved positive results in the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution
.
At the same time, it should be noted that the problem of heavy metal pollution in some areas is still prominent, threatening the safety of the ecological environment and the health of the people, and the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution has a long way to go
.
According to the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Deepening the Battle of Pollution Prevention and Control", in order to further strengthen the control of heavy metal pollutant emissions and effectively prevent and control environmental risks related to heavy metals, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has formulated the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Prevention and Control of Heavy Metal Pollution" ( hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions")
.

 

The "Opinions" propose that by 2025, the discharge of key heavy metal pollutants in key industries across the country will be reduced by 5% compared with 2020, the green development level of key industries will be improved rapidly, the environmental management capacity of heavy metals will be further enhanced, and the treatment of a number of prominent heavy metal pollution left over from history will be promoted.
problem
.
By 2035, establish and improve the heavy metal pollution prevention and control system and long-term mechanism, comprehensively improve the ability of heavy metal pollution control, environmental risk prevention and control, and environmental supervision, and comprehensively and effectively control the environmental risks of heavy metals
.

 

At the same time, the "Opinions" specifically pointed out that it is necessary to improve the standards and strengthen the supervision and law enforcement of heavy metal pollution, which clearly proposed to improve the standard system of heavy metal pollutants
.
Including, studying and revising pollutant discharge standards for industries such as lead, zinc, and electroplating, and accelerating the formulation of technical specifications for the installation, operation, and acceptance of online monitoring systems for heavy metals in wastewater
.

 

With the advancement of urbanization in China, chemical pollution has become a major source of pollution
.
Benzene, phenol, phosphorus organic pollution and heavy metal pollution such as cadmium, arsenic, lead, chromium and mercury are serious, which not only pollute the air and water, but also become a long-term "cancer" in the soil
.
Industry insiders pointed out that whether heavy metals pollute the water body or the air, they will eventually return to the soil, causing soil pollution
.

 

Soil is an indispensable and important natural resource for human survival.
It is related to the rice bags, vegetable baskets and water tanks of every household, it is related to the national ecological security, and it is related to the construction of a beautiful China
.
However, compared with air pollution and water pollution, soil pollution has become the most difficult "invisible enemy" in the battle of pollution prevention and control due to its concealment, latent, long-term, non-uniformity and irreversibility
.

 

　　Therefore, once soil pollution occurs, it is difficult to recover, the treatment cost is high, and the treatment period is long
.
The fact that soil pollution prevention and control is in a state of "lack of awareness" is largely due to the lack of emphasis on soil environmental quality assessment in China, and the lack of timely investigation and assessment of the status quo of soil environmental quality
.

 

　　Therefore, the State Council recently issued the "Notice on Launching the Third National Soil Census", and decided to carry out the third four-year national soil census from 2022 to fully grasp the situation of China's soil resources
.
This is another major survey after nearly 40 years since the second national soil census was carried out in 1979-1985
.

 

　　Since the implementation of the "Ten Soil Regulations", the state has paid increasing attention to soil protection and soil restoration, and has set the grand goal of achieving a comprehensive improvement of the soil environment and a virtuous circle of ecosystems by 2050
.
As the basis for soil pollution prevention and quality assessment, soil monitoring will inevitably accelerate
.

 

　　It can be said that soil monitoring runs through the prevention and control of soil pollution
.
In the initial basic work, the investigation of soil pollution status and the distribution of polluted plots needs to be monitored first, so as to find out the "household"
.
Therefore, soil quality urgently needs a comprehensive "physical examination", and the opportunities brought by soil monitoring instruments
cannot be underestimated .

 

　　As one of the means of environmental pollution control, the construction of soil monitoring system provides strong data support for relevant departments to carry out control work through the collation and analysis of monitoring data
.
However, soil management by monitoring system alone is far from satisfying the current status of governance
.
In this context, the soil detection instrument industry has ushered in a huge opportunity for development.
Related instrument companies continue to innovate and research and develop, and have made breakthroughs in the research and development of soil detection technology and detection instruments
.

 

　　For example, an instrument company has launched a soil heavy metal rapid detector, a full-spectrum inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer, an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and other detection instruments with the help of existing technology accumulation and its own advantages, which can be applied to the rapid screening of soil samples, Accurate determination of trace elements
.

 

　　Based on comprehensive mass spectrometry, chromatography, spectroscopy and other core analysis and detection technologies, an instrument company provides a complete set of soil detection solutions equipped with soil monitoring equipment such as inorganic element detection, organic pollutant detection, pretreatment equipment, etc.
Laboratory to meet the needs of on-site rapid screening and detection of soil samples
.

 

　　However, soil pollution remediation is a long-term and difficult process.
There are still many deficiencies in the development of China's soil remediation market, and related technologies are still in the stage of research and development and industrialization
.
Domestic companies engaged in soil pollution remediation have problems such as being small but not strong, and too many but not refined, which restrict the development speed of soil pollution remediation in China
.

 

　　In the future, the prevention and control of soil pollution will also require the joint efforts of all parties in the whole society, continue to "strengthen", establish a sound soil monitoring system, and provide accurate data support for environmental governance.
It is believed that with the joint efforts of all parties, China's soil pollution control process will be It will continue to advance, and the soil pollution restoration work will achieve better results
