PM2.5 refers to the atmosphere in diameter less than or equal to 2.5 micron particles, also known as the lungs of particulate matter. PM2.5 particle size is small, rich in a large number of toxic and hazardous substances in the atmosphere to stay a long time, transmission distance, and thus the greater the impact on human health and the quality of atmospheric environment.
It is understood that in order to strengthen the assessment of environmental objectives, steady progress in air pollution control work, this year, Urumqi will strictly enforce the partition monitoring, zoning evaluation, partition appraisal system. Resolute implementation of the Environmental Protection rejected by one vote. "Districts and counties of the principal leaders did not complete the pollution reduction targets, the major responsible person to conduct interviews within the jurisdiction of the counties did not complete the two tasks of the task of air quality and pollution reduction targets, all new implementation of the project to regional restrictions.
The Urumqi Wulabo water sources surrounding the Air Force depots, autonomous regions and labor camp and pollution problems exist for a long year, Urumqi government also plans to invest 300 million yuan, the implementation of the cofferdam construction, mark the settings, and 10 Rehabilitation Project, the gradual elimination of Wulabo water sources environmental safety risks.
Glossary: what of PM2.5?
PM2.5 is the atmosphere in diameter less than or equal to 2.5 micron particles, also known as the lungs of particulate matter. Its diameter is less than the thickness of a human hair 1/20. PM2.5 only very small quantities of components in the Earth's atmospheric composition, but its air quality and visibility are important effects. Compared with the coarse atmospheric particles of PM2.5 in particle size is small, rich in a large number of toxic and hazardous substances, and the long residence time in the atmosphere, conveying distance, and thus the greater the impact on human health and the quality of atmospheric environment.
February 2012, the State Department agreed to release the newly revised "Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM2.5 monitoring indicators.
