近日，国家药监局在其网站发布《国家药监局综合司关于履行有关事项的通知》。通知指出，自2026年起，我国将全面禁止生产含汞体温计和含汞血压计产品。2013年10月，国际社会就具有全球法律约束力的《关于汞的水俣公约》达成一致，中国成为首批签约国。公约得名于日本城市水俣，上千当地居民曾受到被汞污染的工业废水的毒害。

China will ban the production of mercury thermometers and sphygmomanometers nationwide starting in 2026, according to a recent statement issued by National Medical Products Administration. China was among the first to sign the Minamata Convention on Mercury — a global treaty adopted in 2013 to protect the environment from the adverse effect of mercury, named after Minamata, Japan, where the release of mercury into industrial wastewater poisoned thousands of people.
