Atmospheric Pollution Comprehensive Emission Standards GB 16297 - 1996
Atmospheric pollution has long been a major public health and environmental concern. On the basis of comprehensively considering the latest scientific and technological data, the “GB 16297 - 1996 Comprehensive Emission Standards for Atmospheric Pollutants” was introduced in 1996, providing a comprehensive standard for the prevention and control of atmospheric pollution.
The standard stipulates the emission limits of six air pollutants including sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), total suspended particulate matter (TSP), respirable suspended particulates (PM10), carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). The seven standards in the standard clearly stipulate the requirements for emission. For example, the standard requires the concentration of sulfur dioxide emissions not to exceed the index standard of 145mg / m3, the nitrogen oxide emission concentration to not exceed the index standard of 35mg / m3 or 75 mg / m3 in certain areas, total suspended particulate matter emission index standard mg/m3 not above 350.
In addition to the above-mentioned pollutant emission standards, the standard also covers the scope of office maintenance and application, and puts forward corresponding requirements for measurement and management.
At the same time, the standard also requires that the local environmental protection departments should use this standard as a basis for the evaluation of pollutant emissions when issuing permits to new enterprises.
The introduction of this standard also makes an important contribution for the construction of a scientific atmospheric pollution control system. The standard focuses on the synergistic effect of thousands of enterprises, strictly controls regional pollutant emissions, and improves the regional emission concentration by establishing the principle of emission concentration control. At the same time, the introduction of this standard puts forward stricter requirements for the location and design of new enterprises, strengthens the comprehensive management of construction emission sources from the root, and improves the atmospheric environment quality.
At present, Chinas atmospheric environment situation is still not optimistic. In order to effectively control the air pollution, the above standard needs to be seriously implemented. It is necessary to strengthen the publicity of the standard, and increase the understanding of its content and requirements, so as to accelerate the formation of awareness of air pollution prevention and control, and gradually establish a normal industrial order.
In conclusion, the “GB 16297 - 1996 Comprehensive Emission Standards for Atmospheric Pollutants” is an important document for the comprehensive control of atmospheric pollution in China, providing a legal basis for government supervision and market regulation. Following the principles of this standard should be effective in controlling air pollution, and help to create a better living environment.
