Awareness of the concept ❖ Strict environmental control： already but the origin of the environmental pollution has not yet been understood ❖ Green chemistry ： Scientific activities and educational activities have been carried out, however, vague( 含糊的 ) or blurred （ 模糊不清的 ） understanding or even misunderstandings still generally exist in both academia and industry as well as other area ❖ The media： misleading reports still exist and what is really needed does not appear ❖ Industry： Although some ideas are accepted, it is far from practice

Scientific and economic credibility ❖ The scientific credibility of the concept with respect to academia and the funding institutions must be established. ❖ The technical and economic feasibility from the standpoint of industry (even private industry) must be demonstrated by real examples

Focus on chemicals of concern ❖ There must be a sharper focus on, and the establishment of properties for, those chemicals and chemical classes of great concern to human and environment. ❖ Both industry and academia should focus their attention on those commercial chemicals and chemical classes that have the greatest potential for adverse effects. This involves not only an assessment of the toxicological properties per se（本身）, but also the extent of the potential exposure to human and th environment. ❖ Factors such as production volume, use and physicochemical properties
