Pollution measures for public feedback
Stricter standards of air quality monitoring to be implemented
BEIJING - The Ministry of Environmental Protection started gauging public opinion on revised air quality standards on Wednesday, following widespread calls for the government to provide more information on pollution.
The new standards will, for the first time, include readings of concentrations less than PM2.5 (particulate matters smaller than 2.5 micrometers), a major cause of haze harmful to health, the ministry said in a website statement.
