PM2.5 monitoring invests 2 billion yuan in the early stage to purchase instruments from the United States

Expert point of view The Guangdong Province Environmental Protection Agency formulated and implemented the “10 Practical Things for the People's Livelihood in the Year” for the first time this year. Among them, 17 conditional urban air auto-monitoring stations in the Pearl River Delta will formally announce the monitoring results according to the new standards on March 8. The remaining sites are striving to publish their data on the “6th and 5th” World Environment Day.

The report summary should promote energy conservation, emission reduction and ecological environmental protection. Optimize the energy structure, promote the clean and efficient use of traditional energy sources, develop nuclear power safely and efficiently, actively develop hydropower, accelerate shale gas exploration and development, and increase the proportion of new energy and renewable energy. Strengthen the energy channel construction. To carry out energy conservation certification and energy efficiency label supervision and inspection, encourage energy saving, water saving, land saving, material saving and comprehensive utilization of resources, and vigorously develop circular economy. Strengthen environmental protection, and strive to solve the prominent environmental issues related to people's livelihood such as heavy metals, drinking water sources, atmosphere, soil and marine pollution. Efforts to reduce agricultural non-point source pollution. Strictly regulate dangerous chemicals.

This year, fine-grained materials (PM2.5) and other projects will be monitored in key regions such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta, as well as municipalities and provincial capitals. In 2015, all cities above prefecture level will be covered. Promote ecological construction, promote ecological protection and restoration, consolidate the protection of natural forests, return cropland to forests and grasslands, return grazing land to grassland, strengthen grassland ecological construction, vigorously carry out afforestation, promote desertification, rocky desertification, sloping cultivated land treatment, and strictly protect Rivers, wetlands, lakes and other important ecological function areas.

Ma Jun, director of the Beijing Public and Environmental Research Center, said in an interview with reporters that the introduction of PM2.5 into environmental monitoring is very important. The air pollution problem in China’s cities is rather serious. The public needs to understand the relevant information before they can take some measures to effectively avoid Serious damage.

He explained that firstly, PM2.5 monitoring met the public's right to know the environment, and after monitoring, everyone could have a clear and accurate understanding of air quality. As the standard of PM2.5 is relatively strict, the public can have a more accurate understanding of air quality and take some measures themselves, such as avoiding violent activities outdoors.

At the same time, he emphasized that the government’s measures for PM2.5 are also indispensable, and relevant departments should issue some warnings to the public through the Internet, mobile phones and other means of communication, and they cannot be published every 24 hours, but “should be The number of PM2.5 monitored was announced several times in one day to remind the public to take timely measures."

In addition, the reporter learned from the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau meeting held yesterday that the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau has for the first time formulated and implemented “10 Practical Things for the People's Livelihood in the Year”. This requires that 17 cities with mature conditions in the Pearl River Delta will have automatic monitoring stations in March. On the 8th, the monitoring results were formally announced in accordance with the new standards, and the remaining sites in the PRD strive to achieve the public release of data on the “6th and 5th” World Environment Day.

It is reported that in order to implement the environmental protection conference last year, Wang Yang, secretary of the provincial environmental protection conference on environmental protection requirements, the provincial Environmental Protection Office issued the first implementation of the "2012 ten practical environmental protection of the people's livelihood", in which, the release of air quality information as one of the important facts .

The country recently issued a new "Ambient Air Quality Standard" that requires the monitoring of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone, and carbon monoxide, and requested the Pearl River Delta to conduct monitoring this year. To this end, Li Qing, Director of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department, urged the province to accelerate the construction of the PM2.5 monitoring network. On March 8, the air monitoring data of the first batch of 17 stations in the Pearl River Delta was released to the public in accordance with the new national air quality standards. The air monitoring stations in the remaining cities of the triangle will release monitoring data in the “6th and 5th” world environment. Other cities should also step up preparations for the implementation of new standards for equipment, technical support, personnel training, and strive to implement new standards in advance.

The reporter then learned that these 17 monitoring sites are located in the cities of the PRD, including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, and Zhaoqing, etc. The main body is the 12 stations in the Pearl River Delta of the 16 stations of the Guangdong-Hong Kong PRD regional air quality monitoring network. The monitoring stations, including the substations in Guangzhou, include Wanqingsha, Conghua Tianhu and Wuhu in the urban area.

Apart from the Guangdong-Hong Kong Pearl River Delta regional air quality monitoring network, the province has 97 national air quality monitoring sites. All national monitoring sites in Guangzhou and Shenzhen have all six major air pollutant monitoring capabilities; Dongguan and Foshan have five and eight national monitoring sites; Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing, Huizhou, Zhongshan and other cities. Each of the 1-2 national monitoring sites basically has the monitoring capabilities required by the “new standards”; other cities outside the PRD do not currently have the monitoring capabilities required by the “new standards”. To make Guangdong 97 national control points have the ability to monitor PM2.5, each station needs to invest 1 million yuan to purchase equipment, the province's financial needs to invest 100 million yuan to purchase equipment, not including personnel training and equipment.

Li Qing also said that the current atmospheric pollution in the Pearl River Delta, especially ozone, fine particulates and other pollution is more prominent, according to estimates, the implementation of the national new air quality standards, the Guangdong city air quality compliance rate will drop 10% to 30%.

After the implementation of the new standard on behalf of the voice, the compliance rate will drop by 10% to 30%.

Chen Min, deputy director of the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Environmental Protection, said in response to a reporter’s question that Guangdong had initially planned to take three steps in accordance with the national deployment and the actual situation in the province. The first step was to publish data from 17 sites in the Pearl River Delta. The rest of the area is ready to be released in the first half of this year. The second step is to add three cities, namely key environmental protection cities and model cities, namely Shaoguan, Zhanjiang and Shantou, which will be monitored and released in 2013. The third step is to comprehensively monitor and publish the remaining 21 sites in 2014, one year ahead of the time proposed by the country.

Chen Min said that after the “Pearl River Delta Clean Air Action Plan” is promulgated and implemented, there will be relatively great pressure on the PRD. “This year we conducted a research monitoring of PM2.5 and ozone in the Pearl River Delta region. We found that if we follow this new standard in the Pearl River Delta region, our compliance rate will be reduced by 10% compared with the current rate. ~ 30% more.” She said that the next task is to face the arduous task of prevention and control of atmospheric pollution, so we must continue to increase the pace of implementation of the PRD Clean Air Action Plan, pay more attention to regional joint defense and joint governance and air pollutants in the coordinated control.

Yesterday, Zhong Nanshan, deputy to the National People's Congress and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, stated: "The monitoring point should be fully launched this year, instead of waiting until 2015." He said that prevention and control can be carried out in key areas first, and monitoring in the country can only be done in some cases. The timely detection of problems in developed regions to solve problems in a timely manner and solve atmospheric problems are issues that the country and the world must solve, not a problem that a local region has to solve. He suggested that Guangdong establish a monitoring network this year in the province rather than just the Pearl River Delta region, including Shantou, Zhanjiang, and Shaoguan, and that Guangdong should optimize industrial structure, energy structure, industrial pollution control, and automobiles. Exhaust gas and other aspects introduced some specific and mandatory measures.

Netizens and Representatives Asked about "Details" of PM2.5 -

Can a 2 billion yuan list be exchanged for freshness?

"PM2.5 has been written into the "Ambient Air Quality Standards" and the country will carry out monitoring of fine particulate matter." It is like a needle of network freshener injected into major forums. While the masses of netizens are clamoring for success, it seems that the details about it have only just begun: Who will enjoy the huge “market cake” for purchasing PM2.5 monitoring equipment? Is the monitoring equipment imported or domestic?

Huge procurement monitoring equipment:

Domestic or imported?

Vice Minister Wu Xiaoqing of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said on the 2nd that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, nearly 1,500 PM2.5 monitoring sites will be built in China and the initial investment will exceed RMB 2 billion.

Internet users such as “Futou Tongue” asked: “Who will buy the 2 billion yuan market order?” “Does the quality of PM2.5 monitoring equipment of domestic manufacturers?” “Is it imported or domestic?”

“Foreign moons are not necessarily better than Chinese circles, and some foreign instruments are not good enough.” Wang Yuesi, a researcher at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: “The foreign monitoring instruments have their own flaws, and the method evaluation also takes time, and it is difficult to reach a consensus in the short term. As of now, there is no single instrument that can accurately determine the concentration of PM2.5."

A related person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau told the reporter that at present, the country has not issued monitoring equipment procurement standards. "Beijing intends to purchase related instruments from the United States with an initial budget of about 40 million yuan."

PM2.5 new national standard:

How difficult is it to connect with the world?

Wu Xiaoqing stated on the 2nd that the pollutant control project in the new "Ambient Air Quality Standard" has achieved international standards, but it is only connected with the "low rail" of the world. After the implementation of the new national standard, two-thirds of cities in China will not meet the air quality requirements.

Internet users, such as “Qingshan is still there,” said: “Is there any element in China's PM2.5?” “How high is the harm to the human body?” “How difficult is it to connect with the world's 'high track'?”

“These issues are still to be determined. Only by analyzing the specific pollution components, distributions, etc., monitoring and governance will be more effective.” Chen Wanzhi, deputy to the National People's Congress and former director of Chongqing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, said that the situation of PM2.5 between China and the United States is not Similarly, the US formulated its PM2.5 standard for 10 years, while China's standards follow the broadest values ​​of the World Health Organization. "Whether or not it is scientific or scientific, third parties other than the academies, universities, and other environmental protection systems should continue to observe, analyze and study, and determine a reasonable reference value from the perspective of human health."

10 national control points data network can check the report (Reporter Du Juan correspondent Sui Huanxuan) Following the announcement of the provincial Environmental Protection Office that the PM2.5 monitoring result was officially announced on March 8th, the Guangzhou Environmental Protection Bureau also yesterday. In the afternoon, it is announced that the PM2.5 monitoring results of all 10 national control points in the city will be formally announced from March 8 onwards. Citizens can then inquire through the Guangzhou Environmental Protection Network and the Guangzhou City Environmental Monitoring Center website.

Yang Liu, deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau and spokesman for the press, stated that after years of efforts, Guangzhou City has fully possessed the capability of routine monitoring of fine particles (PM2.5) and released the environment including monitoring results including PM2.5 to the public. The status of air quality will also focus on adopting seven measures to further improve the air quality in Guangzhou and benefit the general public.

It is reported that the ten national control points in Guangzhou are: Guangya Middle School, Wuzhong City, City Monitoring Station (Jixiang Road), Tianhe Vocational School, Wuhu, Guangdong Business School, City 86, Panyu Middle School, Huadu Normal School, Luogang Kowloon. The current API index is based on the monitoring results of these ten sites.

Guangzhou will use what way to publish PM2.5? Yang Liu stated that Guangzhou has an existing API evaluation system (air pollution index), that is, daily air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and inhalable particulates, and air pollution index (API) at 10 national control points are released. On the basis of quality information, additional monitoring results such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were released. These data can be found on the Internet.

To control PM2.5 pollution at the end of the year to implement the national IV standard for diesel vehicles, Yang Liu, deputy director of Guangzhou Environmental Protection Bureau and spokesman for the press, stated that in order to adopt more comprehensive, systematic, and strict measures to control PM2.5, the next step, the Guangzhou municipal government will Prior to this, we have taken relevant measures and achieved practical results. We will continue to do the following seven tasks: First, we will raise the threshold for environmental protection. The second is to strengthen the control of motor vehicle exhaust pollution. The main goal is to further strictly control the sources of motor vehicle pollution. In the first half of 2012, the company fully promoted the use of Guangdong IV standard vehicle diesel and strived to implement the national IV standard for diesel vehicles by the end of 2012. The third is to strengthen industrial pollution control. Mainly to strengthen the thermal power plant desulfurization, denitrification, dust removal facilities upgrading and operation management, and strictly control the fuel quality. The fourth is to strengthen the control of dust pollution. The fifth is to strengthen the control of volatile organic emissions. Sixth, it promotes regional joint prevention and control. As a regional problem, PM2.5 considers prevention and control work among urban agglomerations in a coordinated manner, and it is possible to achieve the best governance results by simultaneously coordinating governance. Seventh, organize scientific research. On the basis of swiftly carrying out the work of preparing for information release, we will organize the force to carry out scientific research related to emission reduction and emission reduction as soon as possible, and formulate a meeting plan.
