  Reporter Wu Pengquan

  Right now is the critical period for the prevention and control of air pollution in Jiangxi Province. As an eco-environmental law enforcement worker, Liu Yang has been very busy during this time, not only participating in inspections, but also organizing materials for inspections.

  Since December, large areas of polluted weather have occurred in the northern region one after another. Pollutants have been affected by the cold air southward to affect Jiangxi. In addition, the atmospheric boundary layer has declined in winter, the environmental capacity has become smaller, and quiet and stable weather has occurred frequently, resulting in the deterioration of air quality in the province.

  According to data disclosed by the Jiangxi Ecological Environment Department, as of now, there have been three more serious pollution transmission processes in December than in previous years.

  Liu Yang is the Director of the Office of the Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Division of Ecological Environment Protection of the Yingtan Ecological Environment Bureau.

According to him, “Yingtan City Ecology and Environment Bureau organized a special law enforcement action for key gas-related supervised enterprises.
