浸大化学系蔡宗苇教授凭一项名为《典型持久性有毒污染物的分析方法与生成转化机制研究》的协作研究项目，获2011年度国家自然科学奖二等奖殊荣，协作人包括中国科学院生态环境研究中心的江桂斌院士、郑明辉教授、刘景富教授和蔡亚歧教授。
持久性有毒化学污染物（PTS）是一种毒性强并对环境有长期影响的污染物，获奖的项目主要就PTS的分析方法、形成与转化和毒性效应等方面进行研究，重点包括应用新材料和新原理发展PTS分析样品前处理技术和快速分析方法，并拓展了纳米材料在环境分析中的应用，为日后研究奠定了重要基础。
此外，研究项目揭示了土壤中的二恶英来源和特征，研究新持久性有机污染物的环境行为与毒性效应。蔡宗苇教授说：“我们的研究队伍凭着多年在二恶英污染方面的研究成果，承担了环保部的《中国二恶英清单调查》项目，提出了中国二恶英排放清单，得到国家十三个相关部委的认可并由中国政府正式提交给联合国，成为各国实施二恶英污染控制行动的依据。”
Professor Zongwei Cai wins Second Class State Natural Science Award
Professor Zongwei Cai of the Department of Chemistry of HKBU won the 2011 State Natural Science Award Second Class for a collaborative research project entitled “Analytical Methodology, Formation and Transformation Mechanism on Persistent Toxic Substances”. The collaborators of the project are Prof. Guibin Jiang, Prof. Minghui Zheng, Prof, Jingfu Liu and Prof. Yaqi Cai from the Research Center of Eco-Environmental Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Persistent toxic substances (PTS) are highly toxic pollutants that have long-term impact on the environment. The award winning project investigates analysis methodology, formation and transportation, as well as toxic effects of PTS. It focuses on the application of new materials and principles in developing technologies for pre-handling samples and coming up with fast solutions for analysis. The research has also laid a remarkable foundation for future studies by exploring the role of nano-materials in environmental analysis.
In addition, the research also examines the sources and characteristics of dioxide in soil pollution and studies the environmental behaviors and toxic effects caused by new persistent organic pollutants. Professor Zongwei Cai said: “Based on the strong experience of our research team, we were appointed by the Ministry of Environmental Protection to conduct a special project entitled “Inventory on Dioxins Emission in China” in order to compile a list of dioxide emission sources. The list has been approved by 13 relevant ministries and submitted to the United Nation as an international guideline for implementing relevant practice in controlling dioxide pollution.
