After the reform and opening up, Luozhuang first launched a large-scale ceramic tile industry. Around 2002, driven by the nationwide steel boom, Linyi introduced and launched numerous new steel projects. Subsequently, steel, coking, and floor tiles became the three major heavy-pollution industries in Luozhuang District, as well as in Linyi City. The strictest Environmental Protection Law in history, which came into effect on January 1 this year. At the beginning of the year, the East China Inspection Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection conducted an unannounced inspection in Linyi, Shandong, and found that many enterprises there were discharging pollutants illegally or in insufficient quantities. After the issue was exposed, the mayor of Linyi was also summoned by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. Half a month after the mayor was summoned for a discussion, Linyi city took immediate action to order 57 major polluters in the city that were responsible for air pollution to suspend operations for rectification; 412 enterprises in the city were required to carry out remedial actions within a set time frame, and progress in ecological restoration efforts as well as compliance with regulations regarding the prohibition of burning straw was monitored. Through a series of comprehensive improvement measures, a significant improvement in air quality has been achieved. From January to May this year, the concentration levels of the four pollutants—PM2.5, PM10, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide—decreased by 24.3%, 17.3%, 36.1%, and 14.8% respectively on a year-on-year basis. What are your thoughts on this kind of \"shock-based\" approach to combating air pollution?
@Huan Du Environmental Protection, Tingting – business is coming in! It’s really hard to explain this; I’m afraid of river crabs.
The mayor’s position is at risk; he definitely has to protect it
On the one hand, there is the economy; on the other hand, there is environmental protection – both are essential for the local area! Our country is still developing**!
Recently, the smartphone has pushed several in-depth reports on the power struggles in the political and economic spheres; the approach of taking action behind closed doors is a bit extreme
There can be many ways to solve this problem, or there will be many solutions in the future.
Environmental protection, as is clear to everyone, means increasing investment in mitigation efforts. The key issue is paying for water.
Build a harmonious society! Please use polite language! I won’t say more. .
Difficulties always exist, but there are still more solutions: L
It was published in the China Environment News last week, on July 8th. I didn’t quite understand it; it seems that the local economy hasn’t been affected much, which was a surprise to me.
This is what should be done; as pollution worsens, various types of diseases emerge, and all sectors of society find themselves in an unhealthy state. How can we live like this?
