China News Agency, Beijing, April 13 (Reporter Chen Hang) In the first quarter of this year, the average concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the air in Beijing was 36 micrograms per cubic meter, a year-on-year decrease of 40%.

  Data released by the Beijing Municipal Department of Ecology and Environment on the 13th showed that from January to March this year, Beijing's air quality continued to improve. The average concentration of PM2.5 was 36 micrograms per cubic meter, a year-on-year decrease of 40%, and the number of excellent days was 81 days. 90%.

  From being plagued by smog to frequent blue sky and white clouds, Beijing has fought a tough battle against pollution, promoted continuous improvement of air quality, and continuously enhanced people's sense of ecological environment gain.

  A series of figures can reveal the effectiveness of Beijing’s ecological environment governance: From January to February this year, there were no days of heavy air pollution in Beijing; in February, the average monthly PM2. The concentration is a new low; during the Beijing Winter Olympics, the average concentration of PM2.5 in Beijing was 23 micrograms per cubic meter, and the air quality has always maintained an excellent level...

The "Beijing 2022 Action Plan for Deeply Fighting Pollution Prevention and Control" released this year shows that Beijing will coordinate the control of PM2.5 and ozone, deepen the "one microgram" action for air pollution prevention and control, and do its best to consolidate the effectiveness of air quality improvement.

  The Beijing Municipal Department of Ecology and Environment stated that in the next step, Beijing will also refine the control of air pollution, accelerate the renovation of oil-fired boilers in the core area, determine the rural scattered coal clean energy transformation plan, keep an eye on seasonal pollution problems, and continue to improve the quality of the ecological environment. .
