Air pollution
Print Edition
The government of Zhejiang Province has decided to tackle its air pollution by connecting it to job promotions for officials.
In line with a newly published guideline on air pollution, officials of all prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang will have to attain good scores in two separate systems that evaluate local air quality to secure promotions.
According to the document, one system will be based on the average annual PM2.5 readings in these cities, and the other will take into consideration energy consumption, control of car emissions and industrial restructuring.
PM2.5 particles are less than 2.5 micrograms in diameter and caused smog that is harmful to human health.
Both systems are marked out of 100. There will be four marking levels: excellent, good, borderline and fail.
The Zhejiang government said the evaluation will be an important criteria and will be open to public supervision. The provincial authorities will allocate environmental funds to cities that do well and mete out penalties to those that perform poorly.
In recent years, heavy smog has caused growing health concerns. China has taken a variety of measures to contain air pollution, including restrictions on industrial production and vehicle use.
