Since early 1980s, chemical pollution has become a serious environmental problem in rapidly developing China. This study reviewed the policy and legal framework for monitoring and management of chemical pollutants in China, with reference to the relevant experience in other jurisdictions. Although...

Electric vehicles (EVs) play a crucial role in addressing climate change and urban air quality concerns. China has emerged as the global largest EV market with 1.2 million EVs sold in 2018. This study established a novel life cycle energy use and emission inventory collecting up-to-date data...

One of the effective ways to prevent environmental pollutants from entering the human body and causing cancer is to detect them efficiently and sensitively in the external environment, even trace detection. Herein, we developed a rare Eu(II)-MOF (Eu(II)-Phen) as near infrared (NIR) probe to...

The emission permit system is an important measure for the reform of the environmental management system of fixed pollution sources in China. It is an administrative system with legal significance based on control of the total amount of pollutant and aimed at improving the quality of the...

With China's rapid economic growth, chemical-related environmental issues have become increasingly prominent, and the environmental management of chemicals has garnered increased attention from the government. This review focuses on the current situation and the application of risk assessment in...

With about 100 t/y of the production volume, perfluorootane sulfonates (PFOS) are mainly used for metal plating, aqueous fire-fighting foams (AFFFs) and sulfluramidin China, and the use amount is about 30-40 t/y, 25-35 t/y and 4-8 t/y respectively. Based on the inventory of PFOS production and uses ...

Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), an emerging pollutant, is associated with disruption of placental functions and adverse birth outcomes. However, the precise mechanism of this disruption remains unclear. Extravillous trophoblasts make up the majority of cells in the placenta, and have invasive...

Reclaimed water is widely concerned as an effective recharge of groundwater and surface water, but trace organic pollutants produced by traditional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) would cause environmental pollution (water and soil) during infiltration. Therefore, the effects of reclaimed...

Source identification is fundamental for managing sudden river water pollution; however, it is a challenging task. Although numerous studies have investigated this issue, most involve optimization or statistical models for instantaneous pollution and do not consider the reverse propagation and...

Pollution risk from the discharge of industrial waste or accidental spills during transportation poses a considerable threat to the security of rivers. The ability to quickly identify the pollution source is extremely important to enable emergency disposal of pollutants. This study proposes a new...
