At 10 am on May 15, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will hold a regular press conference in April, chaired by Liu Youbin, spokesperson for the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Liu Bingjiang, Director of the Department of Environment Atmospheric of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the National Center for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution He Kebin, deputy director and academic of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, presented the progress of the battle for the defense of blue sky and jointly responded to journalists’ questions. In order to implement the relevant requirements for epidemic prevention and control, the press conference is still held via video connection.
Liu Youbin, spokesperson for the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, presented that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will carry out supervision and assistance for the prevention and control of ozone pollution in summer. Focus on other regions, to guide and help relevant governments and companies to implement the task of reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds, reducing the formation of important ozone precursors and reducing the impact of ozone pollution in summer.
Liu Youbin introduced the progress of protecting and restoring the Yangtze River. He introduced that in the first quarter of 2020, the proportion of sections with better water quality in the Yangtze River basin increased to 94.5%, an increase of 7.1 percentage points year-over-year; the proportion of sections with lower V water quality decreased to 0.4%, a decrease of 1.4 percentage points year-over-year. In recent years, the Ministry of the Environment has focused on 8 tasks including the remediation of lower state-controlled cross sections, the investigation and remediation of sewage discharges into the river, and the action of the “Green Shield “, and has continued to promote the protection and restoration of the Yangtze River. The film “reveals the problems and rectifies, guides and supports 11 provinces (cities) in the Yangtze River Economic Belt to initially delineate an ecological protection red line area of 542,400 square kilometers, and complete the preparation of” three lines and an order “.
Liu Youbin also introduced that since the launch of the national “waste-free city” pilot project in May 2019, the pilot city has organized a total of 764 tasks involving 429 engineering projects with an amount of 124.4 billion yuan and has achieved results preliminaries. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has established inter-ministerial coordination groups, expert consulting committees, technical assistance groups, and special research groups in conjunction with relevant departments to support and guide pilot cities and regions in their work. Over the past year, the pilot work has shown a good trend from the point of view: the governments of Zhejiang province and Jilin province have decided to carry out the construction of the “waste-free city” throughout the province.
Liu Bingjiang, Director of the Department of Atmospheric Environment of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, presented the main progress of the prevention of air pollution in 2019. He said that through three years of comprehensive autumn and winter management actions, the average concentration of PM2.5 in “2 + 26” cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and surrounding areas, the Yangtze River Delta region and the Fenwei Plain decreased by more than 10% year-over-year , and the number of days of intense contamination decreased by more than 30%, respectively. Ambient air quality in the fall and winter in all three regions was the best in the past three years.
Liu Bingjiang also presented the main progress of air pollution prevention in 2019. He said that in 2019, the average proportion of good days in 337 prefecture-level cities and above was 82.0%, and the proportion of heavily polluted days it was 1.7%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points year over year; the PM2.5 concentration was 36 micrograms / cubic meter, which was flat year after year. Overall, the country’s air quality will be stable and will improve in 2019, and will be characterized by a narrower decrease in PM2.5, a significant increase in O3 concentration, a continuous improvement in SO2 concentration, and a high incidence of intense contamination in autumn and winter.
Liu Bingjiang presented the work plan for the prevention and control of air pollution in 2020, saying that 2020 is the year to win the battle to defend the blue sky. The Ecology and Environment Ministry will classify and guide precise measures to strengthen the Northeast, Mengning and Shaanxi region based on three key areas. Focused on the areas bordering Jin, Jiangsu, Anhui, Lu and Yu, and other areas, taking autumn and winter as the key period of PM2.5 control and summer as the key period of ozone control, and enacting and implementing the “Summer 2020 Volatile Organic Compounds Control Plan”; actively promoting VOCs and NOxs work together to reduce emissions and strengthen prevention and control of pollution from mobile sources.
Currently, the blue sky defense battle has achieved positive results, but still faces challenges such as high PM2.5 concentration in some areas, major O3 contamination problems, and difficulties in structural adjustment. Liu Bingjiang said that all the blue sky defense measures were constantly moving forward and achieving positive results. By 2019, 126 cities with PM2.5 non-compliance standards will decrease by 23.1% compared to 2015, and the number of heavily polluted days in 337 cities across the country will decrease by 36.6%. It is an inevitable conclusion that the benchmark will complete the decline target one year in advance and the PM2.5 target by the end of the year. But still facing many challenges, mainly in some areas, the PM2.5 concentration is still relatively high, O3 contamination problems are prominent and structural adjustment is more difficult. He said that while there are many difficulties and challenges, the harder it is, the more confident you will be in completing all objectives and tasks comprehensively to ensure the successful completion of the blue sky defense battle.
In the first quarter of this year, 120 cities in the country met ambient air quality standards, an increase of 24 year on year. In this regard, Liu Bingjiang said that the improvement in air quality in the first quarter of this year is really very obvious: the national average concentration of PM2.5 decreased by 14.8% year-on-year, and the proportion of good days it increased by 6.6 percentage points year-on-year, especially the concentration of nitrogen dioxide reached the 1990s. Level. The main reasons are: first, since the implementation of the “Triennial Action Plan to Win the Blue Sky Defense War”, structural adjustment has achieved results and governance measures have begun to exert environmental benefits; second, affected by the epidemic, the level of socio-economic activities has been reduced and emissions of air pollutants have been a certain degree of decline.
What are the effects of causing heavy air pollution and addressing key issues in social and economic benefits? In this regard, He Kebin, deputy director of the National Center for Air Pollution Control and Cooperation and academic of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the key atmospheric project supports the improvement of regional air quality, and the analysis of The social and economic benefits are also implemented through the project. In terms of social benefits, quantitatively assess the impact of improved ambient air quality on people’s health benefits. Surveys and analyzes show that public satisfaction with improved air quality is gradually increasing. Through scientific outreach and publicity reporting, benign interaction has been achieved between scientists, the media, and the public. . In terms of economic benefits, it has promoted the formulation and implementation of optimization schemes for the comprehensive prevention and control of air pollution based on the cost-benefit assessment, promoted the transformation and improvement of the industry, and the development of high quality, and scientific research resources have been effectively integrated.
Furthermore, recent research institutes said that the new coronavirus may exist in particulates in outdoor air, and is easier to propagate under conditions of stable atmosphere and high particle concentration. Kebin believes that based on the results of published studies, the basic conclusion is that some positive and weak positive results of atmospheric particles or atmospheric aerosols have been detected in certain confined spaces. There is no evidence that there are large open spaces in the open air. Relevant results.
According to Liu Youbin, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector will continue to promote the second round of routine inspections in accordance with the arrangements of the Central Party Committee and the State Council in accordance with the implementation of standardized measures for the prevention and control of epidemics and the real situation of fully promoting the resumption of production and production. At the same time, special inspections will also be carried out from time to time in key areas of pollution prevention and control. Continue to make secret inspections of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River Economic Belt through secret inspections; promote rectification of inspections and continue to promote precision inspections, scientific inspections, and legal inspections.
Liu Bingjiang also introduced that in the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment carries out 9 binding indicators, 7 of which have been completed one year ahead of schedule, and 1 has reached the progress of the series temporary, although one of the “good days ratio” indicators has not been reached. The target for 2019 is required, but I am sure that all targets for the 13th Five-Year Plan will be completed by 2020. From July to September of the year In the past, many provinces in eastern China, northern China, and central China experienced extreme weather conditions that lasted three months of high-temperature heat waves, drought, and little rain, resulting in a sharp increase in the concentration of O3, which reduced the proportion of good days. He said 2020 is the decisive year to win the battle to defend the blue sky, and we are confident that the 9 binding indicators will be fully completed.
