Guangzhou launches air pollution prevention and control

Residents will be awake when they sleep

The inspection team visited Guangzhou Hengyun Enterprise Group, Vanke City Garden and other places. Vanke City Garden is located near the Guangzhou Petrochemical Plant. Ms. Gao complained that she had lived in the community for three or four years. She often smelled odors from nearby petrochemical companies at night or after heavy rain. “The taste is worse than rotten eggs. "Smell," "It's hard to smell, and sometimes I wake up and wake up, and I have to close the window at night."

Zhang Lianguang, director of the Urban People’s Congress Standing Committee of the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Congress, made a simple survey to several residents. The answer was exactly the same: “The residents all reflect that the smell is big at night and it is suspected that the company is stealing.”

“Our pollution emissions from companies are monitored in 24 hours,” said Yang Liu, director of the Guangzhou Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau.

“Environmental protection departments must strictly enforce the law, and nothing compares with the health of the people!” Zhang Guifang, the director of the Standing Committee of the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Congress, spoke on the spot, and he must pay attention to these people’s strong and repetitive calls for air pollution. Zhang Guifang said that the Municipal People’s Congress will give specific suggestions on the findings of the investigation.

The issue of low environmental protection costs is also receiving much attention. Last May, Guangzhou Petrochemical was fined 100,000 yuan for two fines for "unusual use of facilities." Yang Liu stated that the implementation of the environmental protection law next year will hopefully solve the problem of low illegal costs, because "there is no upper limit on punishment."

Third-party data "black box" against cheating

The inspection team then went to Guangzhou Xinzhan Automotive Integrated Performance Testing Co., Ltd., which is also located in Huangpu District. It is understood that this is an automobile inspection station subordinated to the Guangzhou Municipal Commission of Communications, which is specifically responsible for the detection of exhaust emissions from operating vehicles. Zhang Guifang paid special attention to how to strengthen supervision and prevent cheating in the process of tail gas testing. “There are some vehicles in the community that don’t emit enough exhaust gas, but if you spend a few dollars, you can find someone to get it. Will this happen to you here?” In response, the person in charge of the inspection station responded to the new inspection process. Cheating is difficult. They have real-time monitoring of the entire inspection process, and all the data detected will be uploaded to the environmental protection department in real time. In addition, there are third-party data “black box” monitoring data is accurate and true. Yang Liu, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, said that in recent years, there have been incidents in which individual workers have engaged in spoofing for personal gains at individual inspection stations. "We have investigated and dealt with one before, and we have just recently come to trial."

Before leaving, Zhang Guifang had to strengthen supervision at the inspection station and plug the management loopholes.

Large-scale sand yards and yards without coverage

The inspection team also conducted surprise inspections on some road sections and companies. In Nangang West Road in Huangpu District, coal storage yards, sand and stone storage yards, brick factories, and cement mixing plants can be seen along the road. In addition to a simple coal-covered yard, the rest are open-air and large trucks are available. Constantly. The heavy rains just stopped and there were potholes on the road. Many piles of cement or masonry could be seen along the road. It is understood that residents living in the vicinity complained about dust pollution.

The seascape battlefield on this section of the road just enters with a large sand loader and prepares for sand loading. The representative of the National People's Congress asked how long the person in charge of the battlefield has existed. Which department approved it? How is the usual windproof dustproof measure done? Faced with a series of questions, the responsible person could not answer.

It is understood that these yards involve the management areas of the urban management department and the handover commission department.

The inspection team found that there was a factory building on No. 166 Nangang West Road where the chimneys were emitting exhaust gas and the chimney was close to the power pole. There was no sign outside the door. The factory door was originally open, but within a few minutes it was quickly shut down. The inspection team, who was ready to get off to understand, ate the closed door.
