The capital has so far invested more than 14.7 billion yuan in combating pollution.
An analysis of the sources of PM2.5 in Beijing shows industrial pollution accounts for 18.1% of the city's pollution. Beijing thus plans to carry out more than 100 environmental protection projects aimed at reducing air pollution.
Though Beijing has already achieved the target of pollution reduction of the five-year Plan for 2011-2015, the government still attaches great importance to the prevention and control of pollution. According to the 2014 emission reduction target, the major pollutants in Beijing will be reduced compared to levels in 2013 – sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide by 5%, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen by 2%.
