Guangming Net News (Reporter Zhang Jiaxing) "Basic research is the source of the entire scientific and technological innovation system and the 'master switch' for all technical issues." On August 23, Zou Shoumin, Director of the Department of Science and Technology and Finance of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, introduced ecological and environmental protection When laying out the frontiers of science and technology, it was stated that strengthening basic applied research on the ecological environment will help deepen the understanding of the causes and evolution patterns of pollution, and can promote the scientificity and accuracy of pollution prevention and control.
Zou Shoumin, Director of the Department of Science, Technology and Finance of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment
Zou Shoumin said that with the deepening of the battle against pollution, some new problems have gradually emerged, and there is an urgent need to carry out a batch of forward-looking layouts in basic applied research.
First, it focuses on building a livable earth environment, exploring the scientific theories of the lithosphere, biosphere , and atmosphere earth environment systems under the disturbance of climate change and human activities, and revealing the energy flow and element cycle process of the formation, migration, and transformation of pollutants. Provide basic theory for the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
The second is to focus on improving the quality of the ecological environment and carry out research on the chemistry and transmission mechanism of fine particulate matter and ozone composite pollution under the new situation, the causes and repair mechanisms of water environment and water ecological degradation in river basins under complex conditions, and the causes and pollution of soil and groundwater pollution. Analysis of the dyeing process, distribution and diffusion, microstructure regulation mechanism and recycling mechanism in the metabolic conversion process of hazardous waste, research on the fate change mechanism of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in coastal waters from estuaries to offshore waters and key biological processes, etc., in order to effectively improve Provide a scientific basis for the accuracy and effectiveness of environmental governance.
The third is to focus on ecological protection and restoration, and study the formation and evolution mechanisms of regional ecological security patterns; the response and adaptation mechanisms of key ecosystems and rare and endangered species to regional environmental changes; biodiversity distribution patterns and maintenance evolution mechanisms, typical The invasion mechanism of alien species, etc., predict the future development trend of regional ecological security pattern, and propose technical approaches and regulatory mechanisms for regional ecological industry layout, ecological security pattern design.
The fourth is to focus on environmental health risk prevention, carry out research on the toxicity testing of new pollutants, hazard mechanisms, computational toxicology, exposure prediction, environmental fate, tracking and traceability, monitoring and testing, and health effects; carry out computational toxicology as the basis Research on the principles of basic high-throughput virtual screening technology and in vitro high-throughput and high-content targeted testing methods to support the scientific formulation of environmental benchmarks.
