Recently, the Ministry of Ecology Environment, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Health Health Commission jointly issued "priority control Chemicals List ( second batch ) ", a collection of 18 Zhong / class of chemicals.
The "List" contains: identified human carcinogens such as benzene and o-toluidine, persistent organic pollutants such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and dioxins , polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo [a] pyrene, thallium and thallium compounds, etc.
Heavy metal substances, etc.
, involving petrochemicals, plastics, rubber, pharmaceuticals, textiles, dyes, leather, electroplating, non-ferrous metal smelting, mining and other industries.

, involving petrochemicals, plastics, rubber, pharmaceuticals, textiles, dyes, leather, electroplating, non-ferrous metal smelting, mining and other industries.
These chemicals generally have two characteristics.
One is that they are mass-produced and used in my country or are widely detected in environmental media, and their potential environmental exposure is high.
Second, the inherent hazards are greater.

Second, the inherent hazards are greater.
The "List" focuses on screening chemicals that should be prioritized for environmental risk management in order to achieve two main purposes: one is to play the role of an "engine" to provide basic support for environmental risk management of toxic and hazardous pollutants in water, gas, and soil.
The second is to promote the public and related enterprises to fully understand the environmental and health hazards of chemicals produced and used, and to enhance the awareness and level of chemical environmental risk management.

The "List" proposes possible environmental risk management and control measures, including: including the list of toxic and hazardous air / water pollutants in accordance with the law , the list of key soil toxic and hazardous substances under control, etc.
, implementing environmental risk management; implementing clean production audits and information disclosure in accordance with the law; In accordance with the relevant national mandatory standards and the " List of Substitutes for Toxic and Hazardous Materials ( Products ) Encouraged by the State ", measures to restrict the use or encourage substitution of the corresponding chemicals are implemented.

It is reported that at the end of 2017 , the former Ministry of Environmental Protection and others issued the "List of Priority Controlled Chemicals ( First Batch ) ", including 22 chemical substances such as 1,3- butadiene, short-chain chlorinated paraffins, dichloromethane, and formaldehyde .
