On September 22, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a regular press conference in September. Ministry of Ecology and Environment spokesman Pei Xiaofei explained that in the face of the serious situation of air pollution prevention and control this fall and winter, we should focus on the following three areas of work: First, update the plan and consolidate the foundation for reducing emissions. Implement phased and differentiated emission reduction measures in autumn and winter, focusing on key industry sectors with high emission reduction potential, low economic disturbance, and easy implementation, and precise zoning, classification, and hierarchical control. The second is to make good use of the mechanism and strengthen emission reduction guarantees. By predicting the pollution process in advance and issuing early warning information in a timely manner, “early investigation, early warning, and early action” is achieved. The third is to take good care of supervision and enforcement to ensure the effectiveness of reducing emissions. Keep an eye on key industries, industrial clusters, major emitters, and major vehicle users; make good use of technical methods such as online monitoring, satellite remote sensing, electricity monitoring, etc.; rely on big data screening to accurately discover problem clues; organize offline regions to step up atmospheric environmental enforcement efforts and severely crack down on environmental violations such as excessive pollution emissions and fraud.
