Latest evaluation report: Air quality in domestic cities has not passed

Hu Yajun Core Tip: The country's 20 assessed cities scored very low, the "results" of the best Beijing has only 38 points, and the reference of the 8 international cities on the average points close to 80.　　January 19, the Chinese People's University Law school and the Public Environmental Research Center issued a 2010 annual 30 Chinese and foreign urban air quality Information Public evaluation report, 20 mainland cities without a pass, the highest score of Beijing only 38 points. "Although China's cities have launched a certain air quality information, but overall, the domestic urban air quality information is still at the primary level, compared with the cities in the developed regions, there is a significant gap."　　"Chinese and foreign urban air quality Information public evaluation Project leader, Renmin University of China Law School associate professor Chou said."　　The winner of the failure: Beijing 38 points Chou introduced, the subject group selected 11 categories of pollutants as evaluation indicators, from the system, timeliness, integrity and user-friendly four aspects of each type of indicators of the public to evaluate the full score of 100 points.　　In China, the group selected 20 cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Urumqi as the evaluation object, namely "Evaluation Group", and selected 8 developed cities such as New York, Hong Kong, two developing countries, Mexico City and New Delhi as the comparative reference city of evaluation research, namely "Reference group".　　The report shows that the country's 20 assessed cities scored without a pass, the "champion" Beijing has only 38 points, 8 developed cities on average nearly 80, while the domestic 20 cities on average only 22 points.　　Ma June, director of the Center for Public Environmental Research, pointed out that the biggest gap between the domestic city and the reference Group international cities lies in the fact that the monitoring and releasing index of the former is not comprehensive, among which the most prominent is the monitoring and releasing of fine particles (i.e. PM2.5). Since fine particulate matter is easy to penetrate into the respiratory tract and is harmful to human health, a certain degree of monitoring and distribution is generally achieved in all the international cities of the Assessment group except Hong Kong.　　As one of the most polluted areas in the world, no city in China officially publishes relevant data.　　Ma June pointed out that the reason for the low scores in the domestic cities is that the information was not released timely, the monitoring results of specific types of pollutants were not published, the air quality information of the specific monitoring points was not published, and the density of the monitoring points was low.　　It is suggested that the report of the early warning mechanism should be set up, China should launch the monitoring and releasing of fine particle index as soon as possible, announce the specific concentration value information of specific monitoring index, increase the monitoring point and pay attention to the scientific cloth point. Chou pointed out that to the serious public health impact of the air pollution situation to establish an early warning mechanism, "as the current meteorological disaster warning, the serious air pollution should also be warned."　　"The research team found that foreign air quality in the release, the importance of user friendliness, Chou for example, London for users to report different monitoring points of the air pollution Index opened Twitter and Facebook, but also developed the iphone application. The report pointed out that the "Twelve-Five" period of China's urban atmospheric Environmental Quality monitoring development trend is, according toPopulation aggregation distribution mesh point resolution density, the distribution of a reasonable backbone monitoring network, increase and optimize the urban monitoring site network layout.　　In addition, the monitoring scope focuses on SO2, NO2, PM10, monitoring and dissemination of ozone, carbon monoxide, VOCs, and the incorporation of pollutants such as mercury and lead heavy metals in the air into monitoring and preparation for the release of monitoring results. To this end, the reporter confirmed to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, he said that fine particulate matter as has been included in the WHO air quality guidelines in the "conventional" pollutant, China is very likely to "Twelve-Five" period to be included in the domestic quality standards.
