The Ministry of Environmental Protection will work harder on heavy metals New Deal this year

China Drying Network News reported that after the introduction of lead batteries to rectify the "storm" last year, and opened the curtain of rare earth environmental verification, the reporter was informed that once the production of pollutant discharge coefficient to find out the emission of heavy metal pollutants in industrial waste gas to fill in the blank, the Ministry of Environmental Protection This year's heavy metal new policies in areas such as regional approvals, total control, fiscal convergence, etc. will be better able to exert force.

The National Pollution Prevention and Control Work Conference held earlier this year disclosed that the Ministry of Environmental Protection's annual assessment of the implementation of the above-mentioned plans in 2011 showed that Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu, Gansu, Jiangxi and other provinces have achieved good results in 14 key provinces. Chongqing, Shanxi, Beijing, and other provinces and cities rank higher in non-key provinces.

Specifically, regarding pollutants, from the perspective of assessment, the national discharge of key heavy metal pollutants in wastewater in 2011 was basically the same as in 2007. Of the five major heavy metal pollutants, only lead emissions fell by 1.7%. Others The four kinds of heavy metals all have different degrees of increase, of which the largest increase in mercury emissions is an increase of 26.1%. The total prevention and control of heavy metal pollutant emissions in the 138 key regions has generally declined, but only one-fourth of the annual reduction targets have been achieved; heavy metal emissions have risen in non-key regions.

In addition to heavy metal pollutants in industrial wastewater, 10 million hectares of cultivated land have been damaged by industrial solid waste and municipal solid waste in China, and at least 20 million hectares of soil area has been contaminated by heavy metals. The annual loss of grain exceeds 120 million tons, and the direct economic losses exceed. 200 billion yuan.

According to Yang Xiaosong, head of the Environmental Engineering Research Institute of the Beijing Research Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, the total amount of exhaust emissions from the non-ferrous metals industry in China reached 1.92 trillion square meters, and 97% of the non-ferrous metal smelting industry. However, an environmental expert with years of experience in the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution has told reporters that this data is only the total amount of industrial emissions, and currently it has been able to measure the emission of traditional pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, but mercury, chromium, cadmium, There are still gaps in the discharge of heavy metal pollutants listed in the 12th Five-Year Plan for Integrated Prevention and Control of Heavy Metals Pollution, such as lead and metal-like arsenic.

Persons from the Ministry of Environmental Protection disclosed that from 2012 onwards, the results of the above-mentioned plans will be announced to the public. Areas with unqualified assessments and areas with outstanding problems will strictly implement the restricted areas for projects involving heavy loads. “The Ministry of Environmental Protection will issue plans for the implementation of assessment methods and related rules, and continue to carry out annual assessments of the implementation of the plan. In 2013 and 2016, they will also conduct mid-term evaluations and comprehensive assessments,” said the above sources.

The new series of heavy metal emission reduction will include the total amount of newly added heavy metal pollutants. That is, all new construction projects must have a clear source of heavy metal pollutant emissions. All localities shall make overall plans for all newly built weight-related projects in the region in accordance with the above-mentioned planning goals, and establish a total amount of accounts to ensure that the total amount of heavy metal emissions from new projects is clear and reliable. At the same time, provinces are encouraged to carry out replacement and pilot work of heavy metal emissions in their non-key areas. By optimizing their industrial layout, they will insist on “equal replacements” and “reductions in replacements” for new and eliminated production capacity, and implement “with large and small”. With the “new with the old”, the newly-added emissions of key heavy metal pollutants in non-key areas have achieved zero growth.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection also tries to link environmental and fiscal policies. The reporter was informed that the Ministry of Environmental Protection has communicated with the Ministry of Finance. From this year onwards, the central government's special fund for the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution will be based on the evaluation results of the planning and implementation. Priority will be given to supporting key areas with heavy reduction of heavy metal pollutants and giving priority to heavy metal pollution. The key demonstration areas with good basics for comprehensive rectification, high degree of local government's attention, strong rectification, expected environmental benefits, and high social attention will continue to provide key inputs through special funds during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, and they will be used for demonstration purposes. Driving adjacent areas to speed up the process of heavy metal pollution control, the formation of contiguous remediation effect. At the same time, in the future, the central government will not provide financial support for any areas where planning and implementation of assessments are not satisfactory, heavy metal pollution prevention and control work is not highly regarded, and the effect of renovation is not significant.
