The rapid development of economic is also accompanied by a rapid increase in chemical production and use.Chemicals have great commercial value,but at the same time the production and use of toxic and hazardous chemicals may have uncertain hazards to human health and ecological environment.Chemical pollution accidents will not only cause great personal and property losses,but also result in serious environmental risks,which directly affect the survival and development of mankind. Therefore,the environmental management of chemicals is of great significance.In the early 1980s the international community has began to pay attention to the environmentally sound management of chemicals,and signed a series of international agreements and conventions which aimed at strengthening chemical management cooperation and information exchange between countries,building a harmonious ecological environment for the international society.The main developed countries have also attached great importance to environmental management of chemicals.They have developed comprehensive legislation about environmental management of chemicals in the 1960s or 1970s,and have created a sound legal system for the management of chemicals.Environmental management of chemicals which based on the main line of product life cycle has the characteristics of risk prevention,and involves the occupational of safety and health management,public health management,and concerns a number of departments.Legislation of environmental management of chemicals is in favor of managing the production,import and export of chemicals in the overall perspective,particularly controlling the hazards of chemicals at the source.Through the study of the international law about environmental management of chemicals,as well as the legislation of environmental management of chemicals in developed countries such as European Union and the United States,we can find that they almost have a comprehensive legislation of environmental management of chemicals at the national level,and have established a series of advanced principles and systems.In contrast,China's current legislation of environmental management of chemicals is much worse:the idea being outdated, lack of comprehensive legislation,relevant legal systems being unsound.Therefore,whether it is to protect human health and environmental safety or to adapt to trends of international development,China needs to further improving the legislation of environmental management of chemicals.
