Air Quality Monitoring System

• The air quality automatic monitoring system was
  built in 1985, now it consists of 20 monitoring
  stations.
• The monitoring parameters include PM10, PM2.5,
  SO2, NO2, NO,CO, O3, VOC, meteorological
  parameters, etc.

Action Plan for Better Air Quality
------Objectives

• SO2? NO2? PM10 annual mean concentration of every
  monitoring stations reaches National Air Quality
  Standard for Grade II
• SO2, NO2, PM10 annual mean value of total urban
  area should be less than 0.056, 0.028, 0.098mg/m3
  respectively.
• Total days in excellent and good classgt 330

Pollution Control

• Industrial SO2, Soot, Dust should be within
  emission standard
• The total emission of SO2 should be within 114.5
  thousand tons, with the decreasing rate 26.3 of
  2005.
• 95 of vehicles in urban area reach emission
  standard of vehicle exhaust gas
