Abstract

With constrained resources and many issues at hand, various prioritization mechanisms will be needed to determine issues to be addressed for the upcoming Science Policy Panel (SPP) for chemicals, waste and pollution, currently mandated for development by the UN Environment Assembly. This proposed rapid review sets out one way to assist in prioritization. A screening of the current or expected impact - the actual harm caused to human health, biodiversity, food and water supply systems or economic cost - of the chemical or pollution issue can be made with a literature search and inputs from knowledgeable groups and experts. Issues reaching thresholds that indicate high impact can be recommended for assessment by the Panel. This approach is useful to highlight issues that may especially be of concern in low and middle-income countries, and is complementary to risk management methodologies of regulatory agencies in high-income countries.

建立化学品、废物和污染的优先筛选框架

由于资源有限，手头有许多问题，需要各种优先排序机制来确定即将成立的化学品、废物和污染科学政策小组（SPP）要解决的问题，该小组目前由联合国环境大会授权发展。这项拟议的快速审查提出了一种协助确定优先次序的方法。通过文献检索和知识渊博的团体和专家的投入，可以筛选化学或污染问题目前或预期的影响——对人类健康、生物多样性、粮食和供水系统或经济成本造成的实际危害。达到表明影响大的阈值的问题可建议由小组进行评估。这种方法有助于突出低收入和中等收入国家可能特别关注的问题，并且是对高收入国家监管机构风险管理方法的补充。

期刊介绍： Environmental Science & Policy promotes communication among government, business and industry, academia, and non-governmental organisations who are instrumental in the solution of environmental problems. It also seeks to advance interdisciplinary research of policy relevance on environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity, environmental pollution and wastes, renewable and non-renewable natural resources, sustainability, and the interactions among these issues. The journal emphasises the linkages between these environmental issues and social and economic issues such as production, transport, consumption, growth, demographic changes, well-being, and health. However, the subject coverage will not be restricted to these issues and the introduction of new dimensions will be encouraged.
