A sound pollution: 100,000 yuan fine you "shut up"
Almost every citizen has such an experience: just sat in the classroom, the nearby land a piling machine roar unexpectedly, so that people do not win the annoyance; Sunday bar want to take a nap but did not expect the upstairs decoration of the sound of the electric drill to break the silence forcing people to have to Get up early ...... Noise pollution has become one of the most uncivilized "evils" in the modern city. In order to control it, the government, down to the people, all racked their brains, but often little effect.
Some people blame it on the fact that the crux of the problem is that there is no way to rely on it. But this status quo is about to be changed.
Jiangsu Province, drafted by the Environmental Protection Department and submitted to the provincial government, "Jiangsu Province, the prevention and control of environmental noise pollution in cities and towns regulations (draft for review)" began yesterday, this is the first time in Jiangsu for the prevention and control of urban environmental noise pollution legislation, the previous city of Jiangsu to develop their own noise prevention and control provisions will have a "commander-in-chief". Noise pollution in the past, "small penalty" --- up to only 30,000, difficult to play a deterrent effect of the situation, will be greatly improved. Because noise pollution in the future may be fined up to 100,000 yuan.
Experiencing noise, which department should be complained to have clear rules
Noise is harmful to human health, is a cause of modern diseases. It is indeed not alarmist to say that noise is a killer of human health and urban civilization.
"The people encountered noise, they hit the '12369' environmental protection complaint phone, but a lot of noise in fact we do not have the authority to manage." Nanjing environmental monitoring detachment of the relevant staff to the reporter complained.

Fines of up to 100,000, more than three times stronger
"Nanjing Environmental Monitoring Detachment of the relevant staff told reporters that Nanjing noise pollution fines of up to only 30,000, due to the low amount of fines, it is difficult to play a deterrent role, but also some of the large-scale construction companies on this "small penalty penalty! "Not at all" cold "- in order to catch up with the schedule, continue to night construction nuisance. It is reported that the province's other provincial municipalities on the noise of the fine, some are even lower.

B Light pollution: like checking the "Sudan Red" like checking it
"In the future in Nanjing City, growing up in elementary school students, may not be able to imagine that the sky originally has so many stars." The newspaper in October last year about the Nanjing Purple Mountain Observatory due to light pollution, and part of the facilities will be relocated to the report has caused many readers **** Ming. Now, the Purple Mountain Observatory by light pollution "attack", the observatory's night observation has been almost completely deserted. In fact, not only is the astronomical observatory due to the Nanjing City night glare, and suffered from "cataracts", light pollution has been pervasive invasion of the people's lives. Investigation shows that many buildings in Jiangsu, there are excessive light, not energy saving, light pollution exceeds the standard, some buildings compete with each other brightness, energy consumption is huge, last year's summer high temperature season, Nanjing and other places landscape lights have been forced to close. How to prevent excessive lighting in the city brought about by "light pollution"?
Recently, in Jiangsu Province Hospital held a "city lighting and light pollution" symposium, Jiangsu Province, a number of well-known optoelectronics, ophthalmology, urban environmental protection, and other multi-party experts for the first time gathered on the "light pollution" problem, put forward their views. Some experts pointed out that light pollution is not like water, air, food pollution as a real threat to the human body, but the potential harm should not be underestimated. To check the "Sudan Red" as "light pollution".
The whole city is not as bright as a few "light"
"The Eiffel Tower in Paris at night is radiant, and not far from it, the Seine River is dark." In this symposium, Jiangsu Province, deputy director of the Optoelectronics Professional Committee, Southeast University in Nanjing, professor of optoelectronics Hu Zhengrong said that many foreign cities have long been not engaged in the "lighting project", they only have a number of night lighting, but there is a choice.
Professor Hu said that even in famous nightlife cities such as Las Vegas, the U.S. gambling capital, night lighting is being gradually controlled because the harm of light pollution is obvious. Therefore, he suggested that a city full light is not as good as a few points of light, but "light", but also to light with a basis for the suitability of human habitation and with the city's culture as a prerequisite. Such as the Italians on the night of Rome "dark" explanation is: "this city has a glorious history, do not need to use artificial to increase the light." Japan's Ginza is a world-famous commercial street, but it is not colorful and glittering, but more dim, which they intend to eliminate a kind of flashy and irritating lights and greenery, to give shoppers a kind of simple and unadorned "home" feeling. Therefore, some of our city's busy commercial streets do not have to become a "tunnel of light", which will make shoppers have a kind of uncomfortable standing on the stage. Commercial street lighting at night must not be too exaggerated, to be moderate and harmonious.
The improper "lighting project" say "no"
Jiangsu Photon Biomedical and Engineering Society deputy director of the provincial hospital ophthalmology professor Wang Yuliang said, light pollution on the human body and the environment is not easy to be noticed in the short term, but the long-term hidden harm is great. Long-term hidden harm is great. Internationally, light pollution is generally divided into three categories, namely, white light pollution, artificial daylight and colored light pollution. Colored light pollution refers to the light pollution caused by black lights, rotating lights, fluorescent lights and flashing colored light sources installed in dance halls and other places. Colored light sources dazzle people, not only for the eyes, but also interfere with the central nervous system of the brain, making people feel dizzy, nausea, vomiting and insomnia and other symptoms.
The reporter learned yesterday that the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Construction in order to plan the city's modest lighting project construction, effective management of light pollution in the city, has taken the lead in the country to start the city lighting construction planning. The planning of urban lighting, such as residential district highlights is how much, how to light up tourist attractions, urban commercial centers and how it should be lit, etc., have developed a clear statement. Excessive use of colorful flashing lights, too many overly indiscriminate setting of light box advertising practices, etc., it is resolutely say "no". Jiangsu Provincial Construction Department, for example, if there is a more serious theme of the attractions, in the implementation of the "lighting project", the use of lights are colorful, but not in line with the attractions of the "identity". In addition, now the city light box ads appear a too much, too indiscriminate, poor taste phenomenon, some institutions, universities and colleges have become a dense light box ads "disaster areas", seriously affecting the image of the city, will produce serious visual pollution.
The reporter learned that the provincial Environmental Protection Office of the development of the "Jiangsu Province, environmental management of the service industry," in the provincial government is currently being finalized, will soon be issued and implemented. The "approach", the commercial and public **** places such as light pollution will be bound to regulate. Previously, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Construction issued and has implemented the "Jiangsu Province, urban appearance standards", the city's commercial establishments have been operating activities to control light pollution put forward certain recommended nature of the requirements. The Office is developing a "green building" in the relevant energy-saving requirements, it is also possible that the construction of glass curtain walls and other sources of light pollution to put forward certain requirements.
C Water pollution: if you "detoxification" first to you "weaning"
85-year-old academician Shi Ya Feng of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that: "If the people in the Taihu Lake basin can really drink clean water in 10 years, it is a great thing. , it would be an amazing event." Because of serious water pollution, living in Hongze Lake boat fishermen in Sihong County, Jiangsu Province, Yan Fengxia family always buy mineral water to drink, "guarding the Huaihe River to buy water to drink" along the Huaihe River has been commonplace.
Yesterday, the Environmental Protection Department of Jiangsu Province held a press conference on the prevention and control of water pollution in the province's key river basins, informed the Jiangsu Province, Taihu Lake, the Huaihe River Basin, "Tenth Five-Year" period of the prevention and control of water pollution in and out of the Taihu Lake, the 20 control cross sections of the water quality compliance rate of only 55%, and as the South-to-North Water Diversion of the Huaihe River Basin, the source of the Eastern Route of the South China Water Transfer Although better, but there are still 31% of the 45 river sections of the water quality has not yet reached the national assessment requirements. The meeting revealed that the next step in water treatment to take a strong medicine.
Half of the water quality of rivers entering and leaving Taihu Lake does not meet the standard
March 19 at noon, on the eve of World Water Day, a reporter of this newspaper had followed the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing Institute of Geography and Lake Research Associate Researcher Hu Yaohui came to the Taihu Lake Meiliang Lake Xiaowanli by boat. This is one of Wuxi's two main drinking water sources, from which half of the city's drinking water is currently disembarked.
"Class V water." Reporter on the water quality of the small bay before the words fall, Hu Yaohui answered without thinking, in accordance with national standards, drinking water sources at least to achieve Ⅲ water is barely qualified, Ⅳ, Ⅴ are unqualified drinking water sources, poor Ⅴ is the same as wastewater.
The people of Wuxi, who used to eat the lake, are known as the "Pearl" of Taihu Lake, which is now somewhat alarming. Yesterday, the provincial environmental protection department briefing pointed out that in 2004, the national assessment of Jiangsu Province, Taihu Lake Basin water quality section, the main access to the lake river 20 control section of the water quality compliance rate of only 55%, mainly by the impact of ammonia nitrogen pollutants. In the 45 administrative boundary sections of the main junction rivers, 28 sections did not meet the standard, mainly because of the total phosphorus and ammonia nitrogen indicators exceeded the standard. The four cities in the Taihu Lake Basin to assess the water quality of the section to meet the standard in descending order: Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou.
Provincial Environmental Protection Department told reporters yesterday, Lake Tai governance project "road long", the immediate need to start construction of 7 urban sewage treatment plants, respectively, Wuxi 4, Changzhou 3, there is another 1 is Suzhou toxic and hazardous waste disposal center. Then rely on these projects will be able to make the "Taihu Lake beauty" again sing? Provincial Environmental Protection Office of the relevant person to the reporter to calculate an account: as part of the completed sewage treatment plant network supporting rate is low, the Huaihe River Basin urban sewage collection rate of less than 40%, less than 50% of the Taihu Lake Basin. Built sewage treatment plants can not give full play to the environmental benefits of the facilities, there is slow progress of ecological projects, there are two ecological projects have not started, Xiaoxi port, straight lake port, Wuxi port, Wujin port and other major lake rivers into the lake mouth wetland construction is not yet a program, Meiliang Lake desilting is only carried out in the 1 square kilometer range, the amount of desilting away from the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" requirements gap is very large. The gap between the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" requirements is very large. It should be noted that the province's sewage treatment fee policy has not been fully implemented, most of the county-level cities have not been adjusted to 1.10 yuan / ton to 1.15 yuan / ton standard.
Experts from the provincial environmental protection department said the Huaihe River and Taihu Lake have very similar "conditions".
Local pollution control is not active, the provincial support funds are suspended
Yesterday's press conference, the reporter also heard such an exciting news: the end of this year, Jiangsu, those small-scale, polluting "drug factory" are called off. In the future, those who continue to violate the "detoxification" of the region will implement a number of "sanctions", including the adoption of a moratorium on the approval of water pollutants to increase the discharge of the project, the suspension of help to arrange for national support projects, the suspension of the arrangement of the province's relevant support for the funding of measures.
This year is the completion of the national key river basin water pollution prevention and control "Tenth Five-Year" plan for the last year, but also to achieve the next stage of the Taihu Lake, the Huaihe River Basin water pollution prevention and control objectives of the start of the year. To this end, the Jiangsu Provincial Environmental Protection Department experts also proposed, before the end of 2005, the closure of the lime method of pulping production lines, annual pulping capacity of 34,000 tons of chemical pulping production lines, the annual production capacity of 20,000 tons of yellow paper enterprises, the annual production capacity of 10,000 tons of waste paper enterprises, the annual production capacity of 10,000 tons of alcohol and starch production lines; to strengthen the management of surface pollution in rural areas in the drinking water sources of the protected areas and serious water pollution areas, prohibit the construction of large-scale livestock and poultry farms. Secondly, it is necessary to further establish and improve the mechanism of regional pollution prevention and control in regional watersheds. Seriously implement the sewage treatment fee policy, while strengthening the collection of sewage treatment fees for users of self-supplied water sources; study and formulate the management of garbage charges, and by the end of this year, cities and counties that have not yet levied urban garbage disposal fees should do so as soon as possible; actively promote the marketization of sewage and garbage disposal facility construction and operation, and effectively strengthen the management of sewage and garbage disposal fees collection and use to ensure that the full amount of the fees is collected, Dedicated; the implementation of total emission control and sewage licensing system, strict control of the total amount of sewage discharged, and strive to the end of this year to hand over a satisfactory Taihu Lake, Huaihe River Basin pollution control "answer sheet.
