On April 19, the Ministry of Environmental Protection notified Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas to strengthen supervision on air pollution prevention and control, and named several illegal acts of enterprises on equipment.
The actual cross-sectional area of the exhaust pipe is about 12.5 square meters. Baoshan Cement Plant in Zichuan District, Zibo City, Shandong Province "castrated" the monitoring area of the on-line monitor, so that it could only measure 7 square meters of emissions, which led to a serious discrepancy between the monitoring data and the actual situation. Coincidentally, Hebei CSG Glass Co., Ltd. limited the range of sulfur dioxide on-line monitor to 195 mg/m3, and the uploaded data could only wander at the upper limit.
The fraud of individual enterprises has even reached an incredible level. The inspection team found that Tangshan Fuhaixin Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. of Hebei Province shut down the data acquisition and transmission instrument without authorization, and the data could not be transmitted to the monitoring platform; The on-line monitoring data of sulfur dioxide in Fengyuan New Materials Co., Ltd., Neihuang County, Anyang City, Henan Province is even negative.
The relevant person in charge of the Environmental Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that when this kind of behavior of enterprises is exposed, "it is often argued that it is set by the equipment manufacturer and has nothing to do with itself." In order to plug this loophole, the Ministry of Environmental Protection requires that after the monitoring facilities are accepted, the pollutant discharge unit must report the parameters such as instruments and equipment to the relevant departments for the record.
Smoke bombs were put on the samples. When the environmental law enforcement department conducted a spot check on Guangxi Baise Tiandong Nanhua Paper Co., Ltd., it found that the data was abnormal. It turned out that the sampling pipeline was cut off and connected to a three-way pipe joint and a carbon dioxide storage tank, and the valve of the storage tank was in an open state during the investigation.
"Filling in carbon dioxide can reduce the online monitoring data of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides." The person in charge of the company confessed to the fact that the monitoring samples were fraudulent.
According to the person in charge of the Environmental Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, some enterprises even use pollutants with up-to-standard concentrations instead of monitoring samples, which creates the illusion that the data is reasonable for remote monitoring. "It is necessary to further strengthen on-site inspection and manually investigate possible sample fraud doubts." The person in charge said frankly.
In April, the inspection team found that the smoke concentration curve of an online monitor of a building materials company in Heze City, Shandong Province remained at a certain value for a long time during the intensive inspection of air pollution prevention and control in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and its surrounding areas. No matter how calibrated, the monitoring value is kept within a specific range.
Previously, the inspectors of Hangzhou Environmental Monitoring Detachment found that the online pollutant measuring instrument of a chemical plant had been damaged and could not collect water samples, but still reported data. After investigation, it was found that the operation and maintenance personnel of Hangzhou Ankong Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., an online operation and maintenance enterprise, fabricated monitoring data without authorization when the instrument was damaged and could not work.
Since it is the responsibility of monitoring operation and maintenance enterprises, can sewage enterprises be exempted from liability? The relevant person in charge of the Environmental Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Environmental Protection stressed that the main responsibility for automatic monitoring of pollution sources lies with enterprises, and the monitoring facilities are not operating normally, and polluting enterprises are also responsible. The falsification of automatic monitoring data of pollution sources is the key target of environmental protection departments, and the next step will be to carry out special anti-counterfeiting actions.
"On the issue of ecological environmental protection, we must cross the line, or we will be punished." From the central government to the local government, the supervision is interlocking, the density is getting tighter and the intensity is getting bigger every time. The acts of polluting the environment and destroying the ecology are exposed, which shows the determination and actions of the party and the government to control pollution, and also makes the people see the confidence and hope of ecological improvement. It is expected that on the road of building ecological civilization, from government to enterprises to individuals, they can take action, stick to it, and do good deeds for a long time.
