For chemicals listed in the List The department will take risk control measures for major aspects of its environmental and health risks to minimize the significant impact on human health and the environment caused by the production and use of chemicals.
First, the chemical substances listed in the "List" should be included in the management of the pollutant discharge permit system. According to the relevant laws and regulations, the environmental protection and sanitation departments under the State Council should make public the list of toxic and harmful air and water pollutants, the toxic and harmful atmosphere Enterprises and public institutions that discharge pollutants shall obtain a permit for discharge of pollutants. Enterprises and public institutions listed in the "List" that contain toxic and hazardous water pollutants shall monitor the discharge outlets and the surrounding environment, disclose information on toxic and hazardous water pollutants and take effective measures to prevent them Environmental risks: Enterprises and public institutions discharging industrial wastewater and sewage directly or indirectly to water bodies should obtain a sewage disposal permit.
The second is to impose restrictions on the chemicals listed in the "List", limiting the use of certain products, while encouraging alternative chemicals to be included in the "nationally encouraged alternatives to toxic and hazardous materials (products) table of Contents".
Third, the implementation of cleaner production audits and information disclosure system requires the use of toxic and hazardous materials for the production or discharge of toxic and hazardous substances in the production of enterprises, the implementation of compulsory clean production audits, and to make it easy for the public to inform the business-related information, including the use of The name, quantity, use of poisonous and harmful raw materials, the name, concentration and quantity of toxic and harmful substances discharged.
