China News Service, June 2nd, according to the official Weibo news of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Bai Qiuyong, director of the Environmental Monitoring Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, introduced on the 2nd that the report showed that in 2019, the ambient air PM2 of 337 prefecture-level and above cities across the country. The concentration of 5 was 36 micrograms/cubic meter, which was the same as the same period last year. Among them, the average annual concentration of PM2.5 in non-compliant cities was 40 micrograms/cubic meter, a decrease of 2.4% year-on-year.

On June 2, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a regular press conference in May to introduce the state of environmental quality and environmental monitoring in 2019. At the meeting, Bai Qiuyong informed the recent progress of ecological environment monitoring.
Bai Qiuyong introduced that 2019 is the first complete year after the establishment of the new Eco-Environmental Monitoring Department. The Ministry of Eco-Environment actively promotes various tasks of eco-environmental monitoring, which provides a good battle for pollution prevention and continuous improvement of environmental quality. The strong support played a key role.
One is to grasp the overall situation and seek long-term, systematic planning of the construction of ecological environment monitoring system. We deeply implement the spirit of the party and state institutional reforms, in accordance with the requirements of the "five connections" and "unified ecological environment monitoring and evaluation", in line with the "big monitoring, big ecology" concept, the sea, groundwater, sewage outlets, water function zones, Elements such as agricultural non-point sources, greenhouse gases, etc. were integrated into the national ecological environment monitoring system, and the "Ecological Environment Monitoring Planning Outline (2020-2035)" was issued, which proposed an ecological environment monitoring development roadmap for the strategic goal of beautiful China in 2035. The timetable and mission statement, as a programmatic document that guides the development of the ecological environment monitoring cause in the next period, will provide a full range of monitoring support for the systematic management of the "landscape, forest, lake, grass, and grass" system.
The second is to strengthen the rule of law and build norms, and vigorously promote the construction of monitoring laws and regulations. In order to strengthen the legal protection of the ecological environment monitoring work, we actively promote the monitoring legislation, prepare and complete the "Eco-Environmental Monitoring Regulations (Draft)", the role of the ecological environment monitoring status, as well as the various main body responsibilities, powers, obligations to make a systematic system Design, the draft bill has completed the internal legislative procedures, and formally submitted to the State Council. At the same time, the construction of monitoring standards and norms has been continuously strengthened, and more than 1,200 monitoring standards covering major areas such as surface water, ambient air, and pollution sources have been formed, providing a powerful guarantee for the monitoring work to be carried out in accordance with regulations.
The third is to reintegrate and expand the number, and optimize and adjust the national environmental quality monitoring network. Completed the optimization and adjustment of national environmental air, surface water, and marine environment monitoring networks during the “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan” period. The number of national air stations for national examinations increased from 1,436 to 1,734, and the number of surface water monitoring sections increased from 1940 to 3,646. The integration of marine monitoring points To 1359. The adjusted monitoring network has wider coverage and stronger representation, can more comprehensively and objectively evaluate the environmental quality status, and more accurately support ecological environment management, laying a solid foundation for scientifically determining the "14th Five-Year" ecological environmental protection goals and tasks.
The fourth is strict supervision and severe punishment, and firmly adhere to the lifeline of data quality. We stepped up supervision and inspection, comprehensively used "double random" inspections, flight inspections and other means to carry out supervision and inspections of ecological environment monitoring agencies, sewage units, operation and maintenance units, etc., and adhered to "zero tolerance" for various types of monitoring data fraud "I found one, investigated and dealt with, reported together, and never condoned. In addition to giving administrative punishment in accordance with the law, if it constitutes a crime, it is resolutely transferred to the judicial organ to pursue criminal responsibility, strengthen the warning deterrent effect, create an environment and atmosphere that cannot be fake, dare not fake, or do not want to fake, and strictly observe the "lifeline" of monitoring data quality.
Fifth, contest and show style, and strive to build an iron army vanguard of ecological and environmental protection. Six ministries, including the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Federation of Trade Unions, the National Women’s Federation, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and the General Administration of Market Supervision, held a “competitive” activity of national eco-environment monitoring technicians after a lapse of nine years. There were 1,390 eco-environment monitoring nationwide (Testing) 6,198 technical personnel of the organization participated in the provincial competition, and a total of 293 players from 33 teams participated in the national finals. The large-scale martial arts activity has created a good atmosphere of solid theoretical learning and researching operation technology in the whole system, concentrated display of the technical level and spiritual style of the monitoring team, established a good image of the iron army vanguard, and greatly mobilized and inspired professional monitoring technicians Enthusiasm.
Bai Qiuyong also mentioned that in accordance with the provisions of the Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Marine Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Ministry of Eco-Environment, together with 11 departments including the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Natural Resources, jointly prepared The "2019 China Eco-Environmental Status Communique" and "2019 China Marine Eco-environmental Status Communique" were officially released to the public today.
The report shows that in 2019, the ambient air PM2.5 concentration in 337 prefecture-level cities and above was 36 μg/m3, which was the same as the same period last year. Among them, the average annual PM2.5 concentration in cities that failed to meet the standard was 40 μg/m3, a year-on-year decrease. 2.4%. In the surface water sections of 1940 national examinations in the country, the proportion of categories I to III was 74.9%, an increase of 3.9 percentage points year-on-year; the proportion of inferior category V was 3.4%, a decrease of 3.3 percentage points year-on-year. The marine eco-environment is generally stable and improving. The proportion of the area under the jurisdiction of my country’s sea areas has slightly increased year-on-year, while the area of the inferior areas has decreased slightly year-on-year. The water quality in the coastal areas has been generally stable and improving. The county area with excellent ecological and environmental quality nationwide accounted for 44.7% of the country’s land area, which was the same as the same period last year; the soil environmental condition of agricultural land nationwide is generally stable; and the national environmental ionization radiation level is within the background fluctuation range. After preliminary calculations, CO2 emissions per unit of GDP in 2019 decreased by 4.1% year-on-year, fulfilling the annual target.
