Heavy pollution weather is coming again in autumn and winter, and more emergency measures are launched.

Severe air pollution in autumn and winter is easy to occur. Recently, many provinces have launched comprehensive air pollution control in autumn and winter. On the 26th, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a mobilization meeting to tackle major air pollution problems in the autumn and winter of 2018-2019 in key areas. Relevant leaders of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment stressed that Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas, the Yangtze River Delta and the Fenwei Plain are key areas for air pollution prevention and control, as well as the main battlefield for key operations.

It is worth mentioning that since October 20th, there has been a pollution process in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas. In response to this heavy pollution weather process, all localities actively respond ahead of schedule. Hebei, Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, Langfang and other 8 cities issued an orange warning for heavy pollution weather. Henan has launched the emergency control and verification work of heavy pollution weather. Class III emergency response measures for heavy polluted weather in various cities include stop production of industrial enterprises, restriction of different types of motor vehicles, stopping earthwork and strengthening road cleaning, etc.

Not only that, the reporter learned from the Ministry of Ecological Environment, Shanxi Province recently launched a comprehensive control of air pollution in autumn and winter, the province's 11 municipalities are required to fully achieve the goal of improving air quality in 2018 (with emphasis on PM2.5). Earlier, the Hebei Provincial Environmental Emergency and Heavy Pollution Weather Warning Center said that the energy structure, industrial structure, transport structure and other unreasonable at this stage in Hebei Province, in autumn and winter to completely eliminate heavy pollution weather also need to take both root and root, in-depth promotion of comprehensive control of air pollution in autumn and winter.

In addition to the above provinces, Henan, Jiangsu and other places have launched a comprehensive plan of action for air pollution control in autumn and winter of 2018-2019. Among them, Jiangsu Province requires that key industries such as steel, building materials and coking be staggered from November 2018 to February 2019. Nine contaminated weather emergency control and verification teams have been set up in Henan Province to check and supervise the emergency management and control in key areas such as Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and Pingdingshan since October 21.

Relevant experts from the National Air Pollution Prevention and Control Joint Center believe that heavy pollution weather is prone to occur in autumn and winter, on the one hand, because of the increase in pollutant emissions, on the other hand, because of the conversion of meteorological conditions. Especially after entering the heating season, the amount of pollutants is increased, and it is easy to produce heavy pollution weather.

The expert pointed out that in view of the prevention and control of heavy pollution weather in autumn and winter, we should further optimize the industrial structure and centralize the treatment of "scattered pollution" enterprises; in addition, optimize the energy structure, promote the elimination and transformation of small coal-fired boilers, and focus on the development of clean energy; at the same time, optimize the transport structure and carry out diesel trucks over-standard emissions. Regulation and so on. (source: economic reference daily)
