One of the many specific measures and policies China has implemented to solve the problem of air pollution is to implement the Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution.
The working principle of this action plan is to promote the reduction of air pollutant emissions by setting emission limits and strengthening the environmental management requirements of enterprises and institutions. Specific measures include:
1. Strengthen the emission management of industrial enterprises: strengthen the supervision of high-energy and high-emission industries such as coal-fired power plants, steel and cement, and formulate strict emission standards and technical requirements to promote clean production and energy conservation and emission reduction in these industries.
2. Promote the development of clean energy: reduce dependence on traditional energy by encouraging and supporting the development and utilisation of renewable energy, such as wind power, solar and hydropower. This will help reduce energy consumption and coal-fired fuel emissions and improve air quality.
3. Promote vehicle exhaust emission control: improve vehicle exhaust emission standards, encourage the use of clean energy vehicles, and build and improve public transportation systems.
Reduce the negative impact of exhaust emissions on air quality by restricting the use of highly polluting vehicles and providing convenient public transportation options.
4. Strengthen the transformation of clean heating in rural areas: promote rural residents to use clean energy for heating, gradually phase out and transform traditional coal-fired boilers and scattered straw, and reduce the emission of particulate matter and harmful gases.
The implementation of these measures has had a positive impact on air pollution. First of all, they reduce the emission of air pollutants, improve air quality, and reduce the harm of air pollution to people's health. Secondly, promoting the development and use of clean energy has reduced the demand for fossil fuels, reduced carbon emissions, and also played a positive role in dealing with climate change. In addition, strengthening the renovation of clean and heating in rural areas has also improved the problem of coal-fired pollution in rural areas and improved the quality of living environment.
In a word, the air pollution prevention and control action plan is one of China's specific measures to solve the problem of air pollution. It improves air quality, reduces the emission of air pollutants, and protects the health of the environment by setting emission limits, strengthening emission supervision, and promoting the development of clean energy.
