The Ministry of Environmental Protection is listed to supervise Langfang’s atmospheric environment problems.
On the evening of the 10th, the official WeChat public number of the Ministry of Environmental Protection announced that in order to urge Langfang City to further implement the responsibility of environmental protection and continue to do a good job in the prevention and control of air pollution, the Ministry of Environmental Protection decided to supervise Langfang city’s atmospheric environment.
The reporter from zhongxin.com noticed that the Ministry of Environmental Protection had issued the Notice on listing supervision of atmospheric environment problems in Langfang city, Hebei province a few days ago, and attached the basic situation and supervision requirements of atmospheric environment problems in Langfang City.
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Environmental Protection that this is the first time that the Ministry of Environmental Protection has been listed to supervise the atmospheric environment in a certain place since the beginning of April 7.
The above notice requires Langfang Municipal People’s Government and relevant departments to strictly implement the the law about prevention and treatment of air pollution of the People’s Republic of China, the action plan for air pollution prevention and control, and the strengthening measures for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Air Pollution Prevention and Control (2016-2017) the work plan of air pollution prevention and control in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas in 2017 carries out comprehensive environmental improvement on plywood enterprise clusters in Wen’an County and non-ferrous metal processing and thermal insulation material enterprise clusters in Dacheng county, and plus-sized control efforts, strengthen law enforcement supervision, investigate and deal with existing problems in place, rectify them in place, open them in place, and accept social supervision.

Why did you use Langfang to operate “?
— Some grass-roots governments are not in place to perform their duties, and the problem of “scattered pollution” is prominent.
So, what are the atmospheric environmental problems in Langfang that were finally “named” by the Ministry of Environmental Protection?
According to the latest report of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the recent supervision of the Ministry of Environmental Protection found that although Langfang City has made plus-sized efforts, paid close attention to pollution control and made positive progress in air pollution prevention and control, some grass-roots party committees and governments did not recognize it properly, the problem of inadequate performance still exists. The implementation of “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei air pollution prevention and control strengthening measures (2016-2017)” is slow, especially the problem of illegal pollution discharge in some “scattered pollution” enterprise clusters is prominent.
Among them, the environmental pollution of the plywood enterprise cluster in Wen’an County is very prominent-272 the villages and towns on both sides of the corridor and the Bo line of Provincial Highway gathered about 2,000 plywood enterprises and plastic processing enterprises, most of which had messy factory environment, unorganized emissions are serious, and basically no control measures have been taken for the emission of VOCs. Small coal-fired boilers are generally equipped with simple supporting environmental protection facilities, and sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are basically in a straight-row state; Open-air peeling plants, powder Factory and saw factory have not taken any environmental protection measures. The garbage on both sides of the road is everywhere, and the old furniture and its disassembled objects are air storage at will.
In addition, the Ministry of Environmental Protection also reported that there are many non-ferrous metal processing and thermal insulation materials enterprises in Dacheng county, and several domestic advanced enterprises coexist with a large number of enterprises that should be eliminated.
The specific performance is: a large number of dismantling and sorting, recycled metal casting, finished product re-casting, extrusion, hard-drawn wire and other enterprises have not adopted closed facilities, the factory area is messy, and the problem of unorganized discharge is prominent; the industrial policy clearly requires the elimination of a large number of processes and equipment, poor environmental protection facilities, and serious problem of direct discharge of pollutants. Glass wool, rock wool, aluminum silicate cotton, silicate, polyurethane, phenolic insulation board, extruded board and other enterprises have simple air pollutant emission control facilities for kilns, which generally exceed the standard; The unorganized emission problem in the factory is serious, no closing measures have been taken for the material pile of the stock yard, and no effective control measures have been taken for the emission of VOCs.

How to rectify Langfang?
-Relevant supervision matters must be completed before the end of October this year
The reporter noticed that in this listing supervision, the Ministry of Environmental Protection scheduled the supervision time limit before the end of October this year, and pointed out that “the relevant supervision matters must be completed before the end of October this year”.
In addition, according to the above-mentioned “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei air pollution prevention and control measures (2016-2017)” overall target requirements, by 2017, the average annual concentration of PM2.5 in Hebei province will reach about 67 micrograms/cubic meter, among which Baoding, langfang City reached 77 and 65 micrograms/cubic meter respectively.
The strengthening measures also list the rectification schedules of various regions, and many of them are related to Langfang.
For example, strengthening measures require that before the end of October, 2017, all coal-fired boilers of 10 steam tons and below within the administrative area of Langfang City should be “cleared”.
Another example is the completion of the shutdown and elimination task within the time limit. Langfang city has completed the coal-fired boilers and kilns of Wen’an plywood enterprise group, all kinds of building materials kilns and metal smelting kilns in Sanhe and Bazhou City, the task of cleaning and rectifying kilns of thermal insulation building materials and aluminum products enterprises in Dacheng county; Plus-sized the comprehensive management of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Langfang City completed the management task of VOCs of furniture enterprises in Xianghe county.
