  1. Sustainable Development of Megacities: A Mega-Challenge for China and the World Tuesday, May 8, 2012 – ICM, International Congress Center, Munich, Room 4 中国城市污染土地的可持续利用:问题与对策 Sustainable use of urban contaminated land in China: Problems and Countermeasures Prof. Fasheng Li Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences

  2. Europe Russia Japan CHINA Land: important natural resource *Worldwide average forestry-cover rate reaches 31% Comparison with the adjacent countries like Russia, Japan, Korea and the worldwide level

  3. Since 1980, the annual average economic growth in China: >9% (GDP) In the meantime, waste generations and discharges have increased rapidly. Wastewater discharges Solid waste discharges Waste gases emission The serious situation that Chinese Government has to be faced with is: • Pressure of population • Lack of sufficient land resources • Further land deterioration and serious soil contamination

  4. 1984 2000 Rapid extension of cities -- Beijing

  5. Contaminated sites due to abandoned factories and relocation

  6. Landfill sites Non-sanitary landfills were very popular throughout the country before 1990s, which led to serious contamination of soil and goundwater by the leachates.

  7. Industrial residual sites

  8. UST ( Underground Storage Tank ) sites

  9. Emerging environmental problems Majority of world’s electronic wastes India

  10. Contaminated sites due to waste disposal Estimated share of contaminated sites in China (According to preliminary estimation ) Petroleum Petrochemicals Contaminated sites Manufacturing (factories) Chemicals spill others

  11. Up to now, no registers and inventories have been established in China Management of contaminated sites in Western Europe-Topic report, European Environment Agency ( 1999 ) • Number of potentially contaminated sites • Number of proven contaminated sites ? Germany:Contaminated sitesEstimated total-240,000Identified-202,880

  12. International experiences • Risk assessment and remediation of contaminated sites have become governments’ priority strategies in developed countries; • Superfund in United States • “Brownfield” Program in the United Kingdom • ……………..

  13. Soil contamination in urban area may lead to damage of human health through many pathways. Contaminant receptor Concept of Soil environmental risk Exposure pathway risk

  14. Cost-effective techiques is unavailable in China. • Commercialization and industrialization for remediation of contaminated sites is undeveloped in China.

  15. Challenges & Solutions

  16. Site survey and risk assessment of contaminated sites HCB β-HCH DDT

  17. Development of site remediation criteria using RBCA for Beijing, China (mg/kg) inorganics Pesticides & POPs VOCs SVOCs

  18. Practices in Remediation of contaminated sites in China Bioremediation of petrochemicals contaminated sites 1 2 3 4 5

  19. International workshops on risk assessment and remediation of urban contaminated sites in recent years in China

  20. Closing Remarks • Rapid economic growth has caused serious problem of urban contaminated sites in China. • It is sure that the increasing economic power will give excellent solutions to this problem. German Technical Cooperation,GTZ Training course on remediation and risk management of urban contaminated sites in China
