Beijing introduced ten measures to control haze with an iron fist to promote water-only paint.

On the afternoon of January 7, Cai Qi, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee and acting mayor, met face-to-face with representatives of the media and citizens for the first time to discuss the current air pollution problem.
I came to work in Beijing and almost got into the habit of getting up every morning and the first thing I did was look at the air quality index for the day, " says Mr Cai. Now the community is very concerned about the haze weather, we are all working, studying, living in Beijing, there are such concerns and anxieties, even on the network there are some vomit slots, I express full understanding, feel the same!", "I continue to haze weather to the general public's life impact and inconvenience, the heart is deeply disturbed."
there are four major problems in beijing's
Cai Qitan chened Beijing's four major problems in the control of air pollution.
First of all, winter pollution control is very difficult,
Beijing's annual pollutant emissions are generally concentrated after October, especially in winter heating increased sewage, while the air quality is affected by meteorological conditions this season is also relatively large.
Second, Beijing's air heavy pollution forecast warning accuracy is not enough,
At present, we do not grasp the law, as well as technical conditions, such as the length of time of air pollution, the accuracy of space, especially short-term high pollution peak concentration, there are gaps in the forecast, which affect our accurate warning, effective response to pollution.
, the hard bones are not strong enough to attack hard enough
. For example, although heavy diesel vehicles only account for 5% of the city's motor vehicles, but the emissions of nitrogen oxides accounted for about 50% of the total motor vehicle emissions, should be vigorously controlled;
fourth, the implementation of the "last kilometre" needs to be further strengthened.
The open-air barbecue, open burning garbage, open burning straw and other "three burning", as well as construction dust, road dust and material site dust and other "three dust" problems, on the surface is that some construction units do not comply with laws and regulations, in fact, the supervision is not strict enough, not fully in place.
Cai Qi introduced, during the orange warning period, Beijing has a total of more than 4,100 construction sites shut down, more than 2,500 enterprises to stop production, production restrictions, more than 8000 slag vehicles suspended, nearly 400,000 vehicles nation-wide emission standards of the city-wide ban. Law enforcement departments strictly investigate and strictly control coal-fired boilers, industrial enterprises, construction sites, illegal sewage failure to implement emergency measures in accordance with the provisions can be severely punished and shocked.
meanwhile, in recent years, Beijing's total coal consumption has been reduced from 23 million tons to less than 10 million tons, and the core urban areas have basically achieved "coal-free". In recent years, Beijing has phased out 2.05 million old motor vehicles. In recent years, the general manufacturing and pollution enterprises quit 1,341, more than 1,300 large construction sites installed video surveillance systems, plain afforestation more than 1.1 million mu.
said that although the number of days of heavy pollution in Beijing decreased in 2016, the contribution to the annual PM2.5 concentration still reached 31.5 percent, and regional differences remained large. Some careful citizens have also noticed a phenomenon in which air quality is generally poor in the north and south, with the average concentration of PM2.5 in the north about 15 percent lower than in urban areas and about 15 percent higher in the south than in urban areas, Cai said.
Top 10 Measures for 2017
Cai Qi said, "The task we have accomplished is in contrast to everyone's feelings, mainly because of the difficulty of heating during the winter heating season" and "we want to keep our work fixed." No more difficult, but also firmly iron-fisted treatment of haze. Cai
said that this year is the year of the implementation of the national atmosphere ten, Beijing to take measures on a larger scale, will take the following ten key measures.
is the rural "coal to clean energy"
. Adopting a government-driven, enterprise-oriented approach to the transformation of 700 villages, to achieve Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai, Shijingshan and the southern plains of the basic "coal-free", the transformation of residents in addition to enjoying peak and valley electricity prices, but also to obtain two cents per degree of electricity price subsidies. After the transformation of heating costs and coal burning is basically equivalent, and some even cheaper.
is to minimize local emissions in the power
. After the end of the heating season, The coal-fired units of the Huaning Beijing thermal power plant were shut down and spare, so as to increase the intensity of external power transfer, and the local gas-fired power plants should reduce the amount of electricity generated by moderate pressure during the spring and autumn. Heating is set by heat during the heating season. This reduces the amount of electricity generated by at least 10% throughout the year.
third is to complete the clean energy transformation of the remaining 4,000 steam tons of industrial and heating coal-fired
. Basic elimination of remote suburbs, plain areas 10 steam tons and below coal-fired boilers, as well as Daxing, Fangshan Plains and Tongzhou basic realization of coal-free boilers.
the above three measures, the city's total coal consumption can also be reduced by 30% year-on-year, within 7 million tons.
fourth is the high-emission motor vehicle
. In order to fully supply the "Beijing Six" diesel fuel, from February 15 to implement the country one, two light gasoline vehicles within the five ring road restrictions, the year-round phase-out of 300,000 old motor vehicles, more than two years of taxis to complete the replacement of the catalytic converter.
fifth is to focus on the control of heavy diesel vehicles
. All new heavy diesel vehicles "wear masks" (install particle traps). Severe investigation and punishment in the use of heavy diesel vehicles over-standard emissions behavior, but also to crack down on fake three, four diesel vehicles, focus on the treatment of dirt vehicles, clear the regulatory responsibility of dirt vehicles. To ensure that the dirt truck is closed, to eliminate the legacy.
6th is a comprehensive push to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from gas
. The city completed 10,000 steam tons of gas boiler low nitrogen transformation, the implementation of universal public policies to encourage household heating hot water heating furnaces, priority replacement of energy-saving and emission-reduction products.
7th is to further increase the pace of adjustment and exit of industrial
. By the end of April, the Jinxuan Prospect Cement Plant will be discontinued. Highlight the rectification of the industrial compound of the Ministry of Urban and Rural Joints, and intensify efforts to dismantle illegal buildings. Comprehensive clean-up and rectification of 2560 scattered pollution enterprises, shut down and withdraw 500 general manufacturing and pollution enterprises.
8th is a key industry to promote the transformation and upgrading of emissions of volatile organic
. Yanhua implements low nitrogen transformation, volatile organic material leakage, detection, repair and other treatment projects. Beijing and Tianjin, Hebei jointly issued the implementation of construction-type
coatings
and adhesive volatile organic content limit standards, the comprehensive promotion of water-based paint instead of oily paint.
is to enforce the law with an iron fist and strengthen the accountability of inspectors.
The relevant law enforcement departments at the urban level maintain a high-pressure situation of immediate law enforcement and normal night inspection, crack down on all kinds of illegal acts, and comprehensively use on-line punishment, diary punishment, investigation and seizure, on-site law enforcement, transfer to justice and other measures, so as to expand the effectiveness of law enforcement."
ten is to deepen the regional air pollution cooperation mechanism.
the Ministry of Environmental Protection under the overall dispatch, strengthen coordination with the surrounding provinces and cities, do a good job in air pollution emergency work. To achieve unified meeting, unified early warning, unified emergency, joint law enforcement, and effectively play the role of "peak reduction".
