Beijing to ensure air quality
(chinanews.cn)
Updated: 2006-06-19 09:44 Beijing will work out a "scheme of ensuring air
quality during Olympics" to contain traffic volume, suspend construction and
join hands with surrounding regions to reduce pollutant emission during the
Beijing Olympics Games in 2008.
Some members of Beijing People's Congress, who are recently inspecting the
city's air pollution control and water pollution prevention and rectification
work, pointed out that the capital will follow the direction of the State
Environmental Protection Administration and cooperate with surrounding provinces
and cities to jointly study and formulate the "scheme of ensuring air quality
during the Olympics".
The above scheme will cover three parts, namely measures taken by Beijing and
surrounding regions as well as the air quality monitoring plan.
With regard to the problems of inhaleable particulate matters and ozone
pollution, during the Olympics Beijing will focus on controlling pollutant
emission by automobiles, coal burning, key enterprises, construction sites, gas
stations and the catering industry.
It will take measures to contain traffic volume, suspend construction and
spraying painting, fully clean or replace petrol fume cleansing settings, and
also reduce pollutant emission in surrounding regions.
