ABOUT 15,000 enterprises were punished for pollution last year and nearly 100 people deemed responsible were disciplined, China's environmental regulator told a national environmental protection meeting in Beijing on Tuesday.
Environmental Protection Minister Zhou Shengxian told the meeting that "China made great progress last year in pollution abatement."
Zhou said 156 projects totaling 473.7 billion yuan (US$69 billion) were rejected last year because they were deemed to be energy-intensive or highly polluting.
Approved projects, numbering 579, will prevent the emission of 468,600 tons of sulfur dioxide and 38,400 tons of chemical oxygen, he said.
China increased urban sewage treatment capacity by 12.8 million tons daily and installed desulfurized coal-fired generating units with a total capacity of 86 million kilowatts.
As of September, more than 51 billion yuan had been invested in 881 projects to control pollution on eight major rivers, including the Huaihe, Haihe and Songhuajiang rivers.
