prevention and control of air pollution in Hunan forbids paint production activities in residential areas

October 28, 2014

[China paint information] on October 27, Changsha was attacked again by haze. Since early morning, Changsha has been shrouded in a fog. Although the air quality is heavily polluted, it has not hindered the confidence and determination of the general public to strengthen the control of air pollution. In the early morning of the 27th, 23 hearing representatives, including government officials, university teachers, lawyers and ordinary citizens, came to the conference room of the provincial Environmental Protection Department early to participate in the hearing of the regulations on the prevention and control of air pollution in Hunan Province (Draft) (hereinafter referred to as the regulations). It is reported that the regulations prohibit breeding, slaughtering and kitchen waste disposal in densely populated areas; Establish and improve the linkage emergency response mechanism of the three cities in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan; It is clearly stipulated that unqualified vehicles shall not be issued with environmental protection inspection qualification signs and shall not be driven on the road

hearing site

"I can't stop breathing"

is there any assessment of atmospheric prevention and control? How to make information public? Is the range of fines too large? Is the law enforcement capacity of the environmental protection department sufficient At the venue on the 27th, such as flow marks and fusion lines, hearing representatives spoke enthusiastically, and opinions were put on the table. The voices of citizens were amplified and then recorded. In their own words, "I can't help but breathe. I'm speaking for my living environment."

atmospheric prevention and control is included in the assessment

after getting the microphone, Chen Zhe, who works in the government department, speaks frankly. He sees that the air quality will exceed the index of other types of plastic machine products every day. He has an air purifier at home and wears a mask when going out. He even "can smell today's quality index by opening the window". Chen Ying proposed that the completion of air pollution prevention and control should be included in the government assessment and an assessment system should be implemented. Only by bringing the prevention and control of air pollution into the annual assessment of the government can we really do a good job in the prevention and control work. The current objective assessment system of air pollution prevention and control needs to be more perfect and detailed. "We should establish an evaluation and reward and punishment system." Jiang Yuelong, executive president of Mulin management consulting studio, also held the same opinion

increase public participation and information disclosure

at the hearing, how to increase public participation was a problem mentioned by many hearing representatives. Chen Ying, Jiang Yuelong, and Liu Weiqiao, a senior environmental protection volunteer, all proposed that there was no specific channel for monitoring, reporting, and complaining about acts that pollute the atmospheric environment. At the same time, we should publish, stop and other channels, and establish an effective feedback mechanism and corresponding incentives

Liu Weiqiao proposed that there are few provisions on information disclosure in the regulations. For example, some data of key units of air pollution can be published, which is also conducive to social supervision

improve the "hardness" of the regulations and strengthen law enforcement

Professor Zhou Xunfang from Central South University of forestry and science and technology proposed that "hard" measures should be highlighted, both in the strictness of measures and in the expression of legal provisions. At the same time, environmental protection law enforcement should also be "hard" to avoid the diversification of law enforcement subjects. Liu Weiqiao also said that we should highlight the leadership of the government and be "hard" in order to do a good job in the prevention and control of air pollution. Yan Yunqiu, a professor at Central South University, also pointed out that too many management departments will lead to the phenomenon of wrangling during management. It is best to directly determine a department for management

the floating range of fines is too large, and it should be used for a specific purpose.

almost all the representatives at the hearing said that the floating range of fines is too large, and some provisions are not in line with the upper law, so it should be raised or lowered, and the consequences of floating too large will also bring operational space. Duxinyuan, a senior engineer of the former Changsha exploration machinery factory, proposed that the fine is not a simple range, but a clearly defined calculation table. How much pollution is caused, how much is fined, and make the calculation of the fine transparent. At the same time, fines and confiscations should also be earmarked for special purposes, which can be used to control air pollution or to transform urban public transport

hearing background

Changsha Zhuzhou Xiangtan is listed in the national key area of air pollution prevention and control

with the arrival of autumn and winter, the number of haze weather in Changsha is gradually increasing. On the 27th, Changsha's air index also lit a red light. Nine air quality monitoring points in the city were heavily polluted, with PM2.5 as the primary pollutant. This is also the normal atmospheric environment of haze weather in autumn and winter in Hunan since 2011

it is reported that in 2013, the number of days with excellent air quality accounted for 54.0% in Changsha, 59.0% in Zhuzhou, 53.4% in Xiangtan, and 55.5% in Zhuzhou Xiangtan, which is lower than the average compliance rate of 74 key cities in China. In 2013, the air quality of Changsha ranked 53 (from good to bad) among the 74 key cities in China. The characteristics of compound pollution show that the traditional soot pollution, automobile exhaust pollution and secondary pollution are superimposed. Changsha Zhuzhou Xiangtan area has been listed in the national "three areas and ten groups" key areas for air pollution prevention and control (including Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, central Liaoning, Shandong, Wuhan and its surrounding areas, Changsha Zhuzhou Xiangtan, Chengdu Chongqing, the West Bank of the Strait, North Central Shanxi, Guanzhong, Gansu Ningxia, Xinjiang Urumqi urban agglomeration)

interpretation of the regulations: a comprehensive ban on the burning of agricultural and forestry wastes such as straw in the open air

air pollution prevention and control is a systematic project. To solve the problem of air pollution, it is necessary to strictly control the emission of pollutants, change the development mode and lifestyle, and more importantly, improve the legal system, with strong laws as the guarantee. Therefore, Hunan has included the regulations in its legislative plan. The formation of the regulations is based on extensive consultation with relevant departments, relevant enterprises and local environmental protection departments, with a total of 102 articles

it is forbidden to engage in production activities such as paint and coating in residential areas

catering lampblack, coal-fired pollution... For the prevention and control of different pollution sources, the regulations emphasize that all departments should work together and clarify special treatment measures one by one

In residential buildings, commercial and residential complex buildings without supporting special flues, and commercial floors adjacent to residential floors in commercial and residential complex buildings, it is forbidden to build, rebuild, or expand catering services, clothing dry cleaning, motor vehicle maintenance and other projects that produce lampblack, peculiar smell, and exhaust gas. In densely populated areas such as government offices, schools, hospitals and residential areas, it is prohibited to engage in production activities that produce toxic, harmful or malodorous gases, such as smelting, petrochemical industry, paint and coating, plastic rubber, papermaking (printing), feed processing, breeding and slaughtering, and kitchen waste disposal

it is forbidden to mix concrete and mortar on site at the construction site

dust pollution is also an important part of air pollution. The regulations require that those engaged in housing construction, roads, municipal infrastructure, mineral resource development, river training, building demolition, material transportation and stacking, landscaping and other activities should comply with the relevant provisions of the state and the province and take measures to prevent dust pollution
