Jiangsu Takes Strong Measures to Control Air Pollution, Volatile Organic Compounds Emissions in Key Industries to Be Reduced by Another 10% This Year

Since the State Council issued the "Air Pollution Control Plan" in 2013, Jiangsu Province has continuously strengthened its efforts in air pollution control. In 2016, the average concentration of PM2.5 in the province was 51 micrograms per cubic meter, a decrease of 30.1% compared to 2013; the proportion of days with good air quality in cities was 70.2%, an increase of 9.9 percentage points compared to 2013. Although the air quality in Jiangsu Province has continued to improve, the pressure of air pollution control has not decreased but has increased instead. In particular, the problem of ozone pollution has become increasingly prominent, and the proportion of days with ozone as the primary pollutant rose from 9.4% in 2013 to 36.3% in 2016.

A special bonus of 7.5 million yuan for comprehensive VOCs control in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, is planned to be allocated to 20 townships.

The official website of Zhongshan Environmental Protection Bureau recently announced the "VOCs (volatile organic compounds) Comprehensive Remediation Reward Project for Central Air Pollution Control Funds in 2016" of Zhongshan City. The information shows that a total of 7.5 million yuan of special funds have been allocated to 20 towns including Banfu, Dongfeng and Fusha, among which Nantou Town received the highest reward amount of 2.2748 million yuan.

VOCs control has become a key link in controlling air pollution, and the industry will usher in explosive growth

Recently, the severe ozone pollution problem in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has once again drawn attention to the issue of air pollution prevention and control. Both PM2.5 and ozone point to a common governance point - VOCs emissions.

VOCs pollution control in the petrochemical industry becomes a key focus. Five aspects of measures may help solve the problem.
