China News Service, June 10, Zhao Yingmin, deputy minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said today that the second national pollution source census found out the basic situation of various types of pollution sources, the number, structure and distribution of various types of pollution sources. At the end of 2017, the number of various sources of pollution nationwide was 3.5832 million (excluding mobile sources). Among them, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Hebei accounted for 52.94% of the total number of pollution sources in the country.
On the morning of the 10th, the State Council Office held a press conference on the relevant situation of the Second National Pollution Source Census Bulletin. Talking about the results achieved by the second national pollution source census, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment Zhao Yingmin said that the results of the second national pollution source census are mainly reflected in five aspects.
First, we have figured out the basic situation of various sources of pollution across the country, and the number, structure, and distribution of various sources of pollution. At the end of 2017, the number of various sources of pollution nationwide was 3.5832 million (excluding mobile sources). Among them, there were 2.4774 million industrial sources, 639,500 living sources, 378,800 livestock farms, and 84,000 centralized pollution control facilities. Among them, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Hebei accounted for 52.94% of the total number of pollution sources in the country. The number of pollution sources in the country, especially the number of industrial pollution sources, basically showed a gradual decrease from east to west. In terms of industries, the five industries of metal products industry, non-metallic mineral products industry, general equipment manufacturing industry, rubber and plastic products industry, textile, garment and apparel industry account for 44.14% of the total number of industrial pollution sources in the country. In addition, as of the end of 2017, there were 267 million motor vehicles nationwide, 4.132 million construction machinery, agricultural machinery total diesel power of 762 million kilowatts, and 278,000 vessels operated. In 2017, the fuel consumption of national railway diesel locomotives was 2,461,800 tons, and the number of civil aviation takeoffs and landings was 1,248,900. This is the basic distribution of various pollution sources.
Secondly, we have mastered the discharge of various sources of pollution. From the perspective of water pollutant discharge nationwide, the chemical oxygen demand is 21.4398 million tons, the total nitrogen is 3.0414 million tons, and the ammonia nitrogen is 963,400 tons. In terms of emissions, the Yangtze River, Pearl River, and Huaihe River basins involve large provinces because of the large watershed area, and they emit large amounts of pollutants such as chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, and ammonia nitrogen. From the perspective of emission intensity, the pollutant emission intensity per unit of water resources in the Haihe, Liaohe and Huaihe river basins is large. The emissions of atmospheric pollutants nationwide are: 17.8522 million tons of nitrogen oxides, 16.8045 million tons of particulate matter, and 6.963 million tons of sulfur dioxide. This time, we also conducted a survey on the emissions of volatile organic compounds in some industries and some areas, with 10.1745 million tons nationwide. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Fenwei Plain are areas with high emission intensity per unit area of air pollution sources in my country. As you know, these three areas are also key areas for air pollution prevention and control determined by the state. The national solid waste situation is: in 2017, general industrial solid waste production was 3.868 billion tons, comprehensive utilization was 2.062 billion tons, disposal volume was 943 million tons, and storage capacity was 931 million tons that year. The national straw production volume is 805 million tons, and the utilization volume is 585 million tons. The production of general solid waste in the five provinces of Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shandong, and Liaoning accounted for 42.4% of the country, and the comprehensive utilization of general industrial solid waste in the five provinces of Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu accounted for about 40% of the country.
Third, the key pollution source files and pollution source information database have been improved. This census formed the second unified national pollution source census database, forming a total of more than 1,800 database tables, more than 15,000 data fields, and more than 150 million data records, forming the second national pollution source census "one map" . According to the requirements of the archives census management methods for pollution sources, all archives have been managed in an orderly manner and stored safely.
Fourth, train and train a group of business backbones with the spirit of environmental protection iron army. In the census work, census enumerators and census instructors at all levels carry forward the spirit of the environmental protection iron army, work hard, complain and work hard. Through systematic training and on-site investigations, they can understand the production process, pollution control technology and environmental protection facilities of key industry companies, and master Accounting methods for various types of pollutant emissions. In the process of summarizing the results of the census, through analysis and induction, we grasped the environmental policy and the current environmental situation, and obtained comprehensive learning and improvement. Through the census, a group of comprehensive talents with a high sense of responsibility and dedication, familiar with policies and proficient in business have been trained.
Fifth, the environmental awareness of the whole people has been further improved. The census took a long time and lasted three years. Throughout the census period, through multimedia and multi-media propaganda, the masses of friends in the press gave strong support, widely mobilized all sectors of the society, actively participated in the census, increased the environmental awareness of the whole society, and created a good census Atmosphere.
In response to questions about the current major environmental pollution problems in my country, Zhao Yingmin said that the census reflected several issues:
First, the emissions of the four pollutants, chemical oxygen demand, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, all exceeded 10 million tons, and the four pollutants are crucial to the improvement of the current environmental quality of the atmosphere and water. Important, this is the focus of the next step.
The second is that agricultural sources and living sources make a relatively large contribution to the discharge of water pollutants, motor vehicles make a large contribution to the emission of nitrogen oxides, and industry, life, and vehicles make a large contribution to volatile organic compounds. These pollution sources involve many main bodies, and In the past, traditional concentrated emissions were different. Many of these areas were unorganized emissions or non-point source emissions, so governance and supervision are more difficult.
Third, the environmental protection infrastructure in rural areas and western areas is still lagging behind that in the whole country or in the east, and further investment efforts are needed.
Fourth, the emission intensity of key river basins and key regions is large, and the task of adjusting the industrial structure and layout of these river basin regions is arduous.
Fifth, through the census, it reflects that my country's ecological environment governance system and governance capacity need to be further improved.
"Through the census, we feel that these problems have cleared the foundation for the next step to do a good job in environmental protection and improve the quality of the ecological environment, and pointed out the direction. We need to continue our efforts in the future work, overcome difficulties, and finally achieve the quality of the ecological environment. Improve." Zhao Yingmin said.
