Abstract

Accelerating the cultivation and development of new-quality productivity is a major task and requires systematic engineering, and the development of new-quality productivity is highly dependent on chemicals. New-quality productivity should be green productivity; therefore, it is necessary to pay close attention to emerging contaminants generated from the use of chemicals. Emerging contaminants have a wide range of sources and hidden environmental risks, posing a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct research on the current situation, challenges, and governance strategies of emerging industries involving emerging contaminants. This study reviews the current situation and challenges of emerging contaminant control in the context of new-quality productivity, proposes a framework for emerging contaminant control, and offers governance suggestions from two aspects: priority issues and supporting measures. The research results indicate that multiple challenges exist in the control of emerging contaminants, including high dependence on chemicals, new pollutions, prominent waste-disposal issues, international trade barriers, and difficulties in substitution of high-risk chemicals. The priority issues for emerging contaminant control include strengthening investigation and supervision, promoting risk assessment, achieving breakthroughs in alternative technologies, and improving end-of-pipe treatment. Meanwhile, supporting measures should be deployed in strengthening scientific and technological innovation, formulating normative guidelines, and increasing regulatory efforts.
