To prevent and control air pollution, it is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive prevention and control of air pollution such as coal burning, industry, motor vehicles and ships, dust and agriculture, carry out joint prevention and control of regional air pollution, and implement coordinated control of atmospheric pollutants such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and ammonia and greenhouse gases.
Article 3 The people's governments at or above the county level shall incorporate the prevention and control of air pollution into the national economic and social development plan and increase financial investment in the prevention and control of air pollution.
Local people's governments at various levels shall be responsible for the atmospheric environmental quality in their respective administrative areas, formulate plans and take measures to control or gradually reduce the emission of atmospheric pollutants, so that the atmospheric environmental quality can meet the prescribed standards and gradually improve.
Article 4 The competent department of ecological environment of the State Council, together with the relevant departments of the State Council, shall, in accordance with the provisions of the State Council, assess the completion of the objectives of improving atmospheric environmental quality and the key tasks of air pollution prevention and control in provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall formulate assessment methods to assess the completion of local atmospheric environmental quality improvement targets and key tasks of air pollution prevention and control within their respective administrative areas. The evaluation results should be made public.
Article 5 The competent department of ecological environment of the people's government at or above the county level shall exercise unified supervision and management over the prevention and control of air pollution.
Other relevant departments of the people's governments at or above the county level shall supervise and manage the prevention and control of air pollution within their respective functions and duties.
Article 6 The State encourages and supports scientific and technological research on the prevention and control of air pollution, analyzes the sources and changing trends of air pollution, popularizes advanced and applicable technologies and equipment for the prevention and control of air pollution, promotes the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and gives full play to the supporting role of science and technology in the prevention and control of air pollution.
Article 7 Enterprises, institutions and other producers and operators shall take effective measures to prevent and reduce air pollution, and shall be liable for the damage caused according to law.
Citizens should enhance their awareness of atmospheric environmental protection, adopt a low-carbon and frugal lifestyle, and consciously fulfill their obligations of atmospheric environmental protection.
Chapter II Standards for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution and Planning for Achieving the Standards within a Time Limit Article 8 The competent department of ecological environment of the State Council or the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall, with the aim of safeguarding public health and protecting the ecological environment, formulate scientific and reasonable standards for the quality of atmospheric environment that are suitable for economic and social development.
Article 9 The competent department of ecological environment in the State Council or the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall formulate standards for the discharge of atmospheric pollutants according to the quality standards of atmospheric environment and the economic and technological conditions of the country.
Article 10 When formulating atmospheric environmental quality standards and air pollutant discharge standards, experts shall be organized to demonstrate and listen to the opinions of relevant departments, trade associations, enterprises and institutions and the public.
Article 11 The competent department of ecological environment of the people's government at or above the provincial level shall publish the atmospheric environmental quality standards and atmospheric pollutant discharge standards on its website for the public to consult and download for free.
Twelfth regularly evaluate the implementation of atmospheric environmental quality standards and air pollutant emission standards, and timely revise the standards according to the evaluation results.
Thirteenth formulate the quality standards of products containing volatile organic compounds such as coal, petroleum coke, biomass fuel, coatings, fireworks and boilers. , should be clear about the requirements of atmospheric environmental protection.
The formulation of fuel quality standards shall conform to the requirements of national air pollutant control, and be linked with the national air pollutant emission standards for motor vehicles, ships and non-road mobile machinery, and implemented simultaneously.
The non-road mobile machinery mentioned in the preceding paragraph refers to mobile machinery equipped with engines and transportable industrial equipment.
Article 14 The people's governments of cities that fail to meet the national standards for atmospheric environmental quality shall make timely plans to meet the standards within a time limit, and take measures to meet the standards within the time limit stipulated by the State Council or the provincial people's governments.
The opinions of relevant trade associations, enterprises, institutions, experts and the public shall be sought in the preparation of the plan for meeting the standards of urban atmospheric environmental quality within a time limit.
Fifteenth urban atmospheric environmental quality standard planning should be made public. Plans for reaching the standard of atmospheric environmental quality within a time limit in municipalities directly under the Central Government and cities divided into districts shall be reported to the competent department of ecological environment of the State Council for the record.
Article 16 When the people's government of a city reports to the people's congress at the corresponding level or its standing committee on the environmental conditions and the completion of environmental protection targets every year, it shall report on the implementation of the plan for reaching the standard of atmospheric environmental quality within a time limit and make it public.
Seventeenth urban atmospheric environmental quality standards within a time limit planning should be based on the requirements of air pollution prevention and control and economic and technical conditions for timely assessment and revision.
