Import and export affect international trade. Safety accidents occur frequently during the resumption of work and production, and the novel coronavirus takes various forms. Many old friends shouted: The house leaks only when it rains all night.
As of last Friday, the resumption rate of China’s large and medium-sized enterprises reached 78.9%, and the resumption rate of large and medium-sized manufacturing industries reached 85.6% %. Many companies were busy trying to resume work and production, and finally managed to collect epidemic prevention supplies and obtain the qualifications to resume work. In addition to paying attention to epidemic prevention safety and production fire safety when resuming work and production, we must also pay attention to environmental protection! There is no pause button for environmental protection. Don’t go back to before liberation just because you ignore environmental protection.

On February 28, In response to the rectification of the first round of inspection transfer issues, 20 provinces including Hebei have disclosed the “Looking Back” rectification plan for the central environmental protection inspection. Jiangsu, Ningxia, Hebei, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan and other provinces (regions) have made public their accountability situations.
Hebei took the lead in setting off an environmental protection storm!
Due to the shutdown due to the epidemic, domestic air quality has improved. As of February 25, nitrogen dioxide levels across the country were basically excellent, and only 4 stations across the country were moderately polluted. The reduction in air pollution initially started near Wuhan and spread across the country. Now, air pollution control operations in many provinces have begun! Among them, Hebei will carry out air pollution control operations from February to March to ensure the improvement of air quality and resolutely win the battle against epidemic prevention and control and the battle to protect blue skies. In recent years, China’s rapid and substantial improvement in the environment has been accompanied by economic shocks. For example, in 2017, Beijing reached the five-year target of keeping PM2.5 below 60 on average annually. To this end, Hebei shut down 69,000 factories in 10 months.
*Nitrogen dioxide refers to a brown-red toxic gas at high temperatures. Man-made nitrogen dioxide mainly comes from motor vehicle exhaust , waste gas emitted from industrial facilities, etc.
In addition, the Ecological Environment Bureau of Xingtai City, Hebei Province intensified environmental law enforcement from the evening of February 28th to 29th, focusing on industrial enterprises around the urban area, and found 18 problems. Immediate changes were made to 11 cases, and penalties of 901,000 yuan were filed. Among them, Hebei Jinniu Xuyang Chemical Co., Ltd. was fined a maximum of 450,000 yuan and transferred to the public security organ for administrative detention because the drainage pipe network was damaged during the transmission to the sewage treatment station, resulting in direct discharge of sewage.
Hebei Province will coordinate and organize all aspects of air pollution prevention and control operations on the basis of ensuring epidemic prevention and control, medical waste supervision, and environmental emergency monitoring. , for the production enterprises (projects) and transportation vehicles that guarantee epidemic prevention and control materials, we must not stop production, limit production, inspect, or disturb, and make every effort to ensure normal production and transportation, and resolutely put an end to “one size fits all.” At the same time, it is necessary to carry out targeted supervision and inspections on the premise of good protection, innovate supervision methods, optimize law enforcement processes, strengthen supervision and assistance, and ensure that industrial enterprises meet emission standards.
We must not relax on epidemic prevention, production safety, and environmental protection!
The media has reported too much on epidemic prevention when resuming work and production. Now basically everyone in the country wears a mask to participate in epidemic prevention. We must not relax our efforts in epidemic prevention, production safety and environmental protection measures. As domestic companies gradually resume work and production, environmental protection inspection and law enforcement must be put on the agenda. Don’t think that if the whole country is preventing the epidemic, companies that resume production can relax their emphasis on pollution discharge. Once it is found that emissions or pollution exceed standards, the company will face the dilemma of suspending production again. </p
