The monitoring data of PM2.5 in Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and other five cities in the Hangzhou Bay of Zhejiang Province was immediately open. Xu Zhen, Director of the Zhejiang Provincial Environmental Protection Department, said today that PM2.5 values ​​will be disclosed in any case. “Even if the monitoring data is difficult to see, even the The first phase of excessive data is also disclosed." He believes that the purpose of monitoring public PM2.5 values ​​is to govern the environment. Only by letting the public know the situation can we awaken the whole society to participate in environmental protection and governance.

"The fundamental purpose of publicizing PM2.5 values ​​is to govern the environment."

At the 8th Zhejiang Environmental Protection Conference held last week, Xu Zhen, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Environmental Protection Department, announced that Zhejiang will take the lead in monitoring the PM2.5 in the Hangzhou Bay area.

Regarding the open time, the plan of the Zhejiang Provincial Environmental Protection Agency is that by the end of March, the five cities of Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Huzhou and Shaoxing in the Hangzhou Bay area of ​​Inner Ring Road in Zhejiang Province will realize the day-by-day public release of PM2.5 in the air. average value.

At the Zhejiang Provincial Environmental Protection Mission Committee held today, Xu Zhen stated that the specific date has not been finalized yet, but his position is very firm. “Even if the monitoring data is difficult to read, even the first phase of transitional data cannot be disclosed,” he said. .

He said that the purpose of monitoring public PM2.5 values ​​is to govern the environment. Only by letting the public know the situation can it awaken the whole society to participate in environmental protection and governance.

“The environmental protection department is a department that needs to appeal to the public, environmental protection information is open, the public has the right to participate in the right to information, the real situation of the problem is told to the public, and then they are told how to improve, in order to fundamentally improve the environment.”

It is reported that by the end of 2013, Zhejiang cities above the county level will have PM2.5 monitoring capabilities, and will be fully announced before January 2014.

In fact, the environmental protection of Zhejiang has always been clear about the disclosure of environmental information. In addition to the upcoming PM2.5 monitoring data, a number of environmental data have been made public in Zhejiang.

At present, Zhejiang Province has also announced the release of cross-administrative regional river crossings. According to Zhang Fujian, Director of the Department of Monitoring and Information at the Zhejiang Environmental Protection Agency, the automatic water quality monitoring system for drinking water sources in Zhejiang is also under construction. “In 2012, Zhejiang will complete the construction and trial operation of automatic testing systems for drinking water sources, 2013 It can all be started and the data is also hopefully open."

"The public is the main body of creating the environment, not just the judges."

"Protection of the environment and everyone's responsibility" will no longer be just a slogan. In the work tasks that have been identified by the Zhejiang Environmental Protection Agency, "Doing a good job of environmental protection and public participation" will be listed separately.

Xu Zhen believes that at present, Zhejiang is in an inflection point of environmental quality improvement. Environmental protection is in urgent need of public participation, and it cannot rely on environmental protection agencies to go it alone.

He said that the environment will not be too poor, it is accompanied by people's life, but also with the entire process of human society development, "Everyone can create pollution, and a good environment requires everyone to participate in the realization of sharing and building."

Lu Chunzhong, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Department of Zhejiang Province, also spoke sharply. “In the environmental protection undertaking, the public should be the subject of the creation of the environment, not just the judge.”

At present, Zhejiang environmental protection organizations and volunteers are gradually expanding. Last year alone, in the "Qingyuan Action" in Taizhou, Zhejiang, there were nearly 20 non-governmental environmental protection teams and more than 5,000 enthusiastic volunteers. Volunteers conducted surveys on pollution sources, garbage removal, environmental protection campaigns, and rights protection for victims of pollution in eight major river basins and more than 10 drinking water pools in Zhejiang Province, solving more than 30 pollution problems.

At the same time, cities across Zhejiang are gradually exploring public participation in environmental protection channels. In Jiaxing, Zhejiang, the public not only has the right to veto the polluting enterprises, but also has the right to vote for environmental administrative sanctions.

Xu Zhen said that the direction of the system for public participation in environmental protection in Zhejiang is “to open up public appeals, mobilize people to participate in forces, and form a system for public participation.” (Finish)
