Zhou Shengxian, Minister of the Ministry of environmental protection, said in a video conference on the total pollutant emission reduction and verification of major pollutants in 11th Five-Year and 21, that during the "12th Five-Year" period, the pressure on resources and environment in China is still very large, and the new emissions of major pollutants will continue to increase. The task of reducing emissions is still arduous.

"During the" 12th Five-Year "period, China's total economic output will continue to increase rapidly, the proportion of heavy chemical industry will be large and the growth rate will be fast. Structural pollution will still be very prominent, which will bring great challenges to China's resources and environment, and the task of digesting and increasing pollution emissions is quite arduous. Zhou Shengxian said.

He said that the total amount of pollutants discharged in China is still high and the environmental situation is still grim. At present, the emission of sulfur dioxide, COD and ammonia nitrogen is still very heavy, and nitrogen oxides emissions continue to grow rapidly, and the pollution of motor vehicles and agricultural sources is increasingly prominent. The concentration of sulfur dioxide is still at a high level, and the industrial intensive area between Beijing and Shanghai has become one of the most serious areas of the global tropospheric nitrogen dioxide pollution. Haze and photochemical smog pollution are increasing. During the "12th Five-Year" period, with the continuous accumulation of pollution, China's environmental problems will become more complex. Pollutant media will continue to change from the atmosphere and water to the three polluting media, such as air, water and soil. The source of pollutants will continue to transform from industrial and domestic pollution to industrial and rural, life and non-point source pollution. Pollutants will continue to shift from conventional pollutants to conventional pollutants and new pollutants.

According to Xinhua, Zhou Shengxian said that during the "12th Five-Year" period, China will continue to push forward chemical oxygen demand and sulfur dioxide emission reduction. At the same time, ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen oxides should be taken as new binding targets. We should adhere to the comprehensive prevention and promotion of the whole process, strengthen the structural emission reduction, refine the engineering arrangement, strengthen the supervision and reduction of emissions, vigorously promote cleaner production, lower the intensity of pollution emission and promote the transformation of the mode of economic development.

According to the introduction, the "total pollutant emission reduction targets for 12th Five-Year" will comprehensively consider the environmental quality status, the progress of emission reduction in 11th Five-Year, the level of economic development and the reduction potential.
