Beijing alerted over winter air pollution
The Ministry of Environmental Protection has cautioned
Beijing and its surrounding regions on heavy air pollution as winter approaches
and people are more likely to fire up big-polluting coal-fired heaters. Meanwhile,
senior officials in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei will be held accountable if
heavy pollution continues for three consecutive days as a result of their weak
performances in countering the problem, the ministry told Xinhua on Thursday. Local
authorities have been ordered to take quick, effective precautionary measures
and make all-out efforts in the "tough battle" of air pollution
control through measures including production halts, production restrictions
and emissions reductions at some entities.
