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 China's environmental management of industrial chemicals. The related challenges and research needs of the country are also discussed. The Chinese government promulgated regulations for the import and export of toxic chemicals in 1994. Regulations for new chemical substances came into force in 2003, and were revised in 2010 based on the concept of risk management. In order to support the implementation of new regulations, Guidance for Risk Assessment of Chemicals is under development in an attempt to provide the concepts and techniques of risk assessment. With increasing concern and financial support from Chinese government, China is embarking on the fast track of research and development in environmental management of industrial chemicals.
随着中国经济的快速增长，与化学有关的环境问题日益突出，化学品的环境管理受到政府的日益关注。本综述重点关注中国工业化学品环境管理中风险评估的现状和应用。还讨论了国家相关的挑战和研究需求。中国政府于 1994 年颁布了有毒化学品进出口法规。新化学物质法规于 2003 年生效，并于 2010 年根据风险管理理念进行了修订。为了支持新法规的实施，正在制定化学品风险评估指南，试图提供风险评估的概念和技术。随着中国政府日益关注和提供财政支持，中国正在快速研究和开发工业化学品的环境管理。
