Uncovering Antarctica’s Secret Chemical Voyagers for Expedited Regulation

这个项目旨在通过迅速查明具有环境持久性和流动性的化学品（管制行动的两个必要风险标准）来加强全球化学品政策。它将采用一种新颖的方法，对南极环境媒体应用强大的非目标化学筛选方法，利用南极洲的偏远程度，得出反对关键风险标准的明确证据。研究将发现一份经证实的持久性和流动性化学品的新目录，并进一步评估它们在南极系统中的普遍性和生物放大潜力。项目调查结果将直接分发给决策者，促进加快监管决策，以改善“地球健康”成果。

This project aims to strengthen global chemical policy by rapidly identifying chemicals that demonstrate environmental persistence and mobility, two requisite risk criteria for regulatory action. It will take the novel approach of applying powerful non-target chemical screening approaches to Antarctic environmental media, leveraging the remoteness of Antarctica to derive unambiguous evidence against the key risk criteria. Research will uncover a new catalogue of proven persistent and mobile chemicals, and further assess their ubiquity and biomagnification potential in the Antarctic system. Project findings will be directly disseminated to policymakers, facilitating expedited regulatory decision-making for improved Planetary Health outcomes.
