How should the protection distance for the atmospheric environment in a factory area be determined?

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment recently approved the environmental impact assessment report for the Shenhua Baotou coal-to-olefins upgrading demonstration project; according to this report, a 1,200-meter atmospheric protection zone should be established around the factory, while a 250-meter atmospheric protection zone should be set up around the slag storage area.
It’s the green buffer zone; residents are not allowed in this area, nor is livestock farming or grazing permitted.
Previously, there was a 3-kilometer buffer zone around the factory; later, villagers began to build houses and settle in that area. Eventually, some villagers blocked the company’s entrance, claiming that the factory’s emissions caused pollution (noise and light pollution), which prevented cows from producing milk and chickens from laying eggs.
If it’s all within the same campus, does every unit need to do this? It’s still the overall requirements outside the park
This is more of an issue for older enterprises; with current urban development and the construction of residential areas, chemical plants have been surrounded, forcing them to relocate.
It should be a requirement from outside the park; the various units within the park only need to meet the regulatory requirements regarding fire safety distances.
This requires long-term planning for the park
Now, there are relatively few voices calling for expert opinions on **designing the park area**.
It’s fine as long as it complies with current laws and regulations
