Some companies are still operating in the wind, and environmental pressure must be further transmitted

Among the enterprises in question, 724 of the pollution control facilities were not operating normally. For example, the inspection team found in Cheng'an County, Handan City, Hebei Province, that the desulfurization facilities of the county's Youyuan New Wall Materials Co., Ltd. were out of operation, and the flue gas produced by the enterprise was not treated by the desulfurization facilities, and all of it was discharged from the top of the kiln bypass.
In today's environmental protection high pressure and the central environmental protection supervision into the norm, why there are still enterprises in the wind?
Wang Canfa, a professor at China University of Political Science and Law, said that the cost of corporate environmental protection management is high, and some companies that are not aware of environmental protection will try to find ways to reduce costs. Therefore, the enterprise pollution control facilities do not operate normally, do not rule out the reasons for the equipment, but more human factors.
Grass-roots cadres said, in the central and around the environmental protection inspections gradually become the norm in the background, the government and enterprises have the pressure and crisis, in the concept of environmental protection has been a drastic change, but indeed there are still some enterprises against the wind of illegal sewage discharge, violent resistance to the law.

The environmental law enforcement officials said they hoped that through the inspections, as soon as possible to fully implement the responsibilities of the local government and various departments, the formation of the whole society concerned about environmental protection atmosphere, so that the illegal discharge of no place to hide.
