PM2.5 "landing" next year

It is urgent and urgent that monitoring data is close to people’s intuitive feelings. Next year's PM2.5 monitoring data must be publicly released as soon as possible. It is neither secret nor public, making it an internal material; nor can it delay things, “daylily is cool”; not to deceive and fool the people.

"For a long time in 2016, we are just in a hurry." These words are directed at PM2.5. Not long ago, the revised version of the “Ambient Air Quality Standard” was publicly solicited for comments. PM2.5 was first included in the standard, and this new standard is expected to be fully implemented on January 1, 2016.

One side is the mood that the public eagerly aspires to. On the other, there are complicated procedures that need to be crossed. What we are seeing today is that “Monitoring PM2.5 before 2016” has seen a definite change as a big timetable: On the 21st, the 7th National Environmental Protection Working Conference uploaded news that next year, Beijing and Tianjin The Yunnan, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other key regions as well as municipalities and provincial capitals will carry out PM2.5 and ozone monitoring. For these cities, it is true that "it is always on the right day".

This year, Nanjing has a "blue sky plan is just completed." Hi there is a natural boost to PM2.5 monitoring next year.

The above-mentioned cities will be pioneers next year, which is an important part of the “four-step walk” given by Minister of Environmental Protection Zhou Shengxian. 2016 is the deadline for new standards to be implemented across the country. At that time, all regions across the country must monitor and evaluate the state of ambient air quality and issue monitoring results to the community. This kind of clear planning is more advanced than the statement made by the Ministry of Environmental Protection last month that “there is still a certain degree of difficulty in opening PM2.5 monitoring immediately across the country.”

These changes are quickly approaching public opinion. If it is not possible to do national monitoring right away, the ice-breaking in some cities is also worthy of recognition. It has prepared conditions for the advance monitoring and release of PM2.5 nationwide and conducted a preview, which is also a great comfort to the rush of people.

The first step of the "four steps" is crucial. The most pressing issue right now is naturally to urge the “Pioneer City” to take a good lead in the next year. Just as Zhu Jianping, the deputy director of the Environmental Monitoring Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, said during a conversation with reporters, “We are planning to introduce new pollution indicators (PM2.5). (Ozone) starts monitoring and forms regular monitoring capabilities. It will require all cities to publish real-time data for each point and hour and accept public supervision.”

Here, "posting" and "accepting supervision" become the key words, which are in harmony with public opinion. However, what is worth waiting for is how to accept public supervision. It is necessary to point out specific paths and need strong institutional support. It is worth proposing that when to “publish”, how to publish, and not to publish, it needs to be further clarified. .

The Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau stated that it has begun to carry out equipment procurement and personnel training. As early as 2009, the automatic monitoring station at the Nanjing Caochangmen had already carried out research on PM2.5, including the monitoring station now located at Gucheng Lake in Gaochun, and it has also been monitoring PM2.5 since last year. Such positive behavior will naturally quickly open up the situation for next year's PM2.5 monitoring. However, is it true that all cities can take this initiative?

In the blink of an eye next year, it is timely to start PM2.5 monitoring. If the movement is slow, where does the "just-in-time" release come from? The statement that “as soon as the new pollution indicators begin to monitor” and “formed conventional monitoring capabilities” is also somewhat vague as a feature of time, has certain flexibility, is easily used by localities, and the relevant departments should be more clear in terms of time requirements. And meticulous.

Needless to say, the introduction of PM2.5 monitoring will inevitably result in "fading" of data related to air quality, which is surely inconsistent with the local "face". In some places, the monitoring of PM2.5 had previously been meticulously and passively waited for, and the circumstances of environmental quality data falsification appearing in individual places disclosed by the Ministry of Environmental Protection have demonstrated these problems. The implementation of the “first step” has no publicly available resistance, but it needs to be vigilant about the “negative absenteeism”. PM2.5 monitoring is a popular project. It must be forced and pushed quickly. It must not be vague, and it must not be led by an individual.

It is very urgent and urgent for the monitoring data to be close to people’s intuitive feelings. Next year's PM2.5 monitoring data must be publicly released as soon as possible. It is neither secret nor public, making it an internal material; nor can it delay things, “daylily is cool”; not to deceive and fool the people. Only promptly and timely, openly, scientifically, and routinely releasing relevant data, will be able to obtain good results if there is a bad relationship.

The effect of the monitoring of PM2.5 in the relevant cities next year will test the possibility of achieving “synchronous walking” in advance in the country.

The person in charge of the Science and Technology Standards Division of the Ministry of Environmental Protection has already stated his position: Encourage local governments to encourage local governments to actively implement new standards in advance. It should be said that with the "first step" of next year's success, other cities have no reason to continue to act as spectators, and "encouragement" has reason to become "push" or even "responsibility."

In fact, the myth of PM2.5 monitoring “technically difficult to overcome difficulties” has been broken. Zhu Jianping, deputy director of the Department of Environmental Monitoring of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the reporter said in a dialogue that PM2.5 and ozone will be monitored in key regions such as Jing-Jin-Ji from next year. Technically speaking, there is no difficulty.

Now that the technology is "without difficulties," as long as it is struggling with strategic planning and cracking, the financial problems and equipment problems will not be a barrier.
