Air quality tops tip-offs
Print Edition
China’s environmental watchdog said yesterday that air pollution ranked as the biggest source of complaints among the 149 tip-offs it dealt with in June.
Of processed tip-offs, 120 were about environmental illegalities, said the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
The environmental watchdog in north China’s Hebei Province received 29 such tip-offs — the highest number of complaints. It was followed by Shandong, Jiangsu and Henan, provinces, said the ministry.
Seventy-eight of the total 164 tip-offs on environmental pollution received by the ministry in June were about air pollution, 29 about water pollution, 23 about noise pollution, three about solid waste pollution and 31 were about projects not properly approved.
In 32 cases, businesses were suspended. In 27 other instances enterprises were fined, while in 21 cases, projects were canceled or businesses closed.
For example, in southwest China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a fertilizer production company was told to stop production until it built pollution control facilities.
