The First Inflection Point of China's Major Pollutant Emissions in 2007

The Ministry of Environmental Protection released the status of China's environment in 2007

Pollution prevention turned from passive response to active prevention and control

The responsible person of the Ministry of Environmental Protection informed the media today (4th) about the state of China's environment in 2007. He said that in 2007, under the unified arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, all localities and departments thoroughly implemented the scientific development concept, adopted comprehensive measures to promote pollution reduction, and achieved a double reduction in chemical oxygen demand and sulfur dioxide emissions. Passive response turned to active prevention and control, and the historic transformation of environmental protection took a solid step.

First, there is an “inflection point” for the first time for the discharge of major pollutants. Actively promote project emission reduction and structural emission reduction, and earnestly implement management and emission reduction measures. The proportion of coal-fired generators for equipment desulphurization facilities in the country to all thermal power units has increased from 12% in 2005 to 48%, and urban sewage treatment rate has increased from 52%. To 60% of the country's annual chemical oxygen demand emissions 13.833 million tons, a decrease of 3.14% compared to 2006; sulfur dioxide emissions of 26.481 million tons, a decrease of 4.66% over 2006, the main pollutant emissions achieved a double drop, for the first time "Inflection point."

The second is to let the overburdened rivers, lakes and seas recuperate. Formulate and organize the overall plan for water pollution prevention and control of the Huaihe River, Haihe River, Liaohe River, Songhua River, Three Gorges reservoir area and the upper reaches, Danjiangkou reservoir area and the upper reaches, Yellow River upper and middle reaches, Dianchi Lake, and Chaohu Lake basin, and put forward a comprehensive plan for the comprehensive management of the Taihu Lake basin water environment. Overburdened rivers, lakes and seas recuperate policies and measures to provide humanistic care for the water environment. Conducted a comprehensive survey of urban drinking water source protection areas, issued a technical specification for the division of drinking water source protection areas, and closed down the sewage outlets in the first-grade protected areas of drinking water sources, and severely cracked down on illegal discharge of pollutants in the secondary protection areas according to law. behavior. Closely prevent, control and properly handle water pollution incidents to ensure the safety of drinking water for the people.

The third is to formulate environmental economic policies from the whole process of reproduction, and comprehensively use fiscal, taxation, finance, credit, price, trade and other economic means to protect the environment. We have improved environmental access conditions for 13 high-energy-consuming and high-emission industries such as electricity, steel, and petrochemicals, actively promoted the elimination of backward production capacity, and rejected or suspended 377 projects with a total investment of nearly 1.5 trillion yuan. Approval decision. A special environmental clean-up inspection was carried out on more than 9,000 new projects across the country, and 1194 projects that did not meet the environmental impact assessment requirements were severely dealt with according to law. Strictly stringent environmental protection verifications of listed companies were conducted. Only last year, they rejected or suspended the listing financing applications of 10 companies for 8.4 billion yuan. The measures of “restricted regional approvals” and “restricted approval of river basins” were adopted, and the environmental assessment approvals for ten municipalities, two counties, five development zones, and four power groups were suspended.

Fourth, we have begun a new exploration on the road to a harmonious development of ecological civilization. The guidelines for ecological compensation pilots were issued, and trials for compensation for the construction of off-site development zones and compensation for drinking water source protection were launched. We vigorously promoted the construction of key ecological function areas, carried out the evaluation of the ecological environment quality, and issued the “Outline for the Planning of National Key Ecological Function Protection Areas”. Pilot projects for the establishment of eco-industrial parks were carried out to promote the ecological design or transformation of industrial parks and industrial concentrating areas, and efforts were made to reduce pollution emissions.

Fifth, the three major basic strategic environmental protection projects for the first national survey of pollution sources, macro-environmental strategy research, water pollution control, and major scientific and technological special projects were smoothly advanced. Organized a general survey of pollution sources, conducted on-site monitoring of nearly 30,000 key industrial pollution sources and centralized pollution control facilities throughout the country, and conducted a large-scale measurement of production and emission factors. The 29 major topics of China's environmental macroeconomic strategy study have been fully carried out, and some topics have achieved substantial progress.

Sixth, major breakthroughs have been made in international environmental cooperation. The China-U.S. Emissions Reduction Strategic Joint Economic Study was conducted to fully utilize the environmental protection cooperation platform under the regular meeting mechanism between the Chinese and Russian Prime Ministers to implement joint monitoring of the water environment, and to use the Sino-Japanese economic high-level dialogue mechanism to advance the implementation of the joint statement on environmental protection cooperation, and to expand and develop. Bilateral environmental cooperation and exchange between China and neighboring countries. Actively promote cooperation in international environmental compliance.

In 2007, the overall atmospheric environment of the country maintained a stable level

The person in charge said that in 2007, the country’s atmospheric environment, acoustic environment, radiation environment, etc. also remained stable overall:

Urban air quality has generally improved. Cities at or above the county level accounted for 2.4% of the national first class standards, 58.1% for the secondary standards, 36.1% for the tertiary standards, and 3.4% worse than the tertiary standards. 72.0% of the cities whose annual average concentration of particulate matter reached the secondary standard, and 2.2% of the standard that was inferior to the tertiary standard. Cities with annual average concentrations of sulfur dioxide reaching the secondary standard accounted for 79.1%, and 1.2% worse than the tertiary standard. Among the 113 key environmental protection cities, 44.2% accounted for secondary standards, 54.9% for tertiary, and 0.9% for worse than tertiary. Compared with the previous year, the proportion of cities inferior to Grade 3 decreased by 6.2%. Of the 500 monitored cities (counties), 281 were acid rains, accounting for 56.2%; 171 were acid rains with frequency of more than 25%, accounting for 34.2%; 65 were acid rains with frequency of more than 75%. 13.0%.

The acoustic environment is generally good. The sound environmental quality of 72% of the cities in the country is at a good or good level, and 75.2% of the sound environmental quality of key environmental cities is at a good or good level. 58.6% of the country’s urban road traffic acoustic environment quality is good, 92.9% of environmental protection key cities road traffic acoustic environment quality is at a good or better level. The standard compliance rate was 84.7% in urban functional areas and 64.1% at night.

The level of environmental electromagnetic radiation is generally good. Most nuclear facilities, uranium mining and metallurgy, nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities and nuclear fuel production and processing enterprises have not caused detectable pollution to the surrounding environment. Most electromagnetic radiation facilities around the electromagnetic radiation level to meet national standards. There is a hidden danger of local radiation environment pollution.

Solid waste emissions decreased slightly. The amount of industrial solid waste generated nationwide was 1,757.6 million tons, an increase of 16.0% over the previous year; the amount of emissions was 11.97 million tons, a decrease of 8.1% from the previous year; comprehensive utilization, storage, and disposal accounted for 62.8% and 13.7 of the production, respectively. %, 23.5%. The amount of hazardous waste generated was 10.79 million tons, and the comprehensive utilization, storage, and disposal were 6.5 million tons, 1.54 million tons, and 3.46 million tons, respectively.

The nature reserve has developed steadily. Newly built 19 national nature reserves throughout the country. At present, 2,531 nature reserves have been established nationwide with a total area of ​​151.88 million hectares. Among them, there are 303 state-level nature reserves with an area of ​​93.656 million hectares, which account for 12% and 61.7% of the total number and total area of ​​nature reserves in the country.

The person in charge said that in 2007, the overall environmental quality of the country showed a trend of improvement. However, the environmental protection situation is still grave and the performance is:

The water pollution situation remains grim. The total water quality of the seven major river systems, including the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Pearl River, Songhua River, Huaihe River, Haihe River, and Liaohe River, was equal to that of the previous year. Of the 407 sections of the 197 rivers, the proportions of the sections I-III, IV-V, and inferior-V were 49.9%, 26.5%, and 23.6%, respectively. The overall water quality of the Pearl River and the Yangtze River is good. The Songhua River is lightly polluted. The Yellow River and the Huai River are moderately polluted. The Liaohe River and the Haihe River are heavily polluted. The problem of eutrophication of lakes is outstanding. The proportion of the first and second types of seawater in the coastal waters of the country was 62.8%, a decrease of 4.9 percentage points from the previous year; those of the third category were 11.8%, an increase of 3.8 percentage points; and those of the fourth and inferior categories were 25.4%, an increase of 1.1 percentage points. Among the offshore areas in the four sea areas, the water quality of the offshore areas of the South China Sea and the Yellow Sea is good, the Bohai Sea is a light pollution, and the East China Sea is a heavy pollution.

The environmental protection situation in rural areas remains grim. The countryside faces the dual threat of environmental pollution and ecological destruction. Outstanding manifestations are an increase in domestic pollution, an increase in non-point source pollution, prominent industrial and mining pollution, and hidden safety problems in drinking water, and ecological degradation has not been effectively curbed.
