China energy conservation online on December 28 - the Ministry of Environmental Protection released an official microblog message. This morning, the Ministry of environmental protection held a regular press conference in December 2017. Liu Youbin, inspector of the publicity and Education Department of the Ministry of environmental protection, answered the reporter's questions.

Beijing News: my question is about the "ten atmospheric articles". This year is the final year of the "ten atmospheric articles". We are very concerned about the overall progress of the "ten atmospheric articles", whether there are any areas that have not been completed, what are the problems, and what are the plans and arrangements for the next step?

Liu Youbin: as you know, in 2013, the State Council issued the action plan for the prevention and control of air pollution, referred to as the "ten articles of the atmosphere", which is a milestone document in the historical process of air pollution prevention and control. It not only summarizes the progress and problems in the past air pollution prevention and control work, but also studies and proposes measures to solve the air pollution prevention and control work in the new period. In three days' time, the "ten points for atmosphere" will come to an end. Everyone is very concerned about whether we can hand in a satisfactory answer.

The air quality improvement objectives defined in the "ten articles on the atmosphere" mainly include the following: the concentration of inhalable particulate matter (PM10) in cities at the prefecture level and above in the country will be reduced by 10%, and the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta will be reduced by 25%, 20% and 15% respectively. There is also a figure that we are very concerned about: the PM2.5 concentration in Beijing has reached about 60 μ g / m3.

Since the release of the "ten atmospheric articles", under the strong leadership of the party and the State Council and the joint efforts of all social parties, the implementation of the "ten atmospheric articles" has achieved remarkable results. I have read several articles recently, which have left a very deep impression on me. Some of them were written by friends present. For example, one friend wrote that the Shawo radish in Tianjin this year is easy to sell because of less haze and sufficient sunshine; Some friends also wrote that this year the air purifiers could not be sold, and they were slow to sell; Another friend said that it is not news to bask in the blue sky in the circle of friends this year, because there are more and more blue skies.

Your observations are in good agreement with our monitoring data. We have just released the air quality in November. In 2016, the average concentration of inhalable particulate matter (PM10) in 338 cities at and above the prefecture level in China decreased by 15.5% compared with 2013. The average concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta all decreased by more than 30% in the blue sky defense war. From January to November 2017, the national PM10 decreased by 21.5% compared with the same period in 2013. The PM2.5 in Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta decreased by 38.2%, 31.7% and 25.6% respectively. Among them, the PM2.5 concentration in Beijing was close to 60 μ g / m3.

In three days' time, the "ten atmospheric rules" will come to an end. I am as full of expectations as everyone else. Experts analyzed and believed that the air quality improvement target proposed by the "ten atmospheric articles" can be achieved.

Of course, we will not be complacent because of this. We know that there is still a long way to go in the prevention and control of air pollution. There is still a gap between the achievements we have made and the expectations of the people. The situation of air pollution prevention and control is still grim, which is mainly manifested in three aspects: first, the problem of excessive ambient air quality in some areas and parts of the period is still prominent; Second, the regional progress is unbalanced, and the work of some provinces is relatively lagging behind; Third, the energy structure based on coal, the industrial structure based on heavy chemical industry and the transportation structure based on road goods have not been changed, and the pollutant discharge is large.

Looking forward to the future, we dare not relax a bit. In the next step, we will, in accordance with the deployment and requirements of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, never forget our original intention and keep our mission firmly in mind, continue to implement air pollution prevention and control actions, and resolutely win the blue sky defense war. First, we will continue to conscientiously implement the action plan for comprehensive treatment of air pollution in autumn and winter of 2017-2018 in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas, and strive to win the "blue sky defense war". Second, the Chinese Academy of engineering was entrusted to carry out the final evaluation of the implementation of the air pollution prevention and control action plan, summarize the experience, identify the shortcomings and put forward countermeasures. Third, we will carry out research on the next stage of guidance documents for air pollution prevention and control actions, and clarify the timetable and road map for winning the blue sky defense war. thank you.
