Three-year action plan released on air quality

A three-year action plan was released by the State Council on July 3, targeting the improvement in air quality.

The document aims at reducing emissions of major air pollutants and greenhouse gases, achieving a substantial reduction in the density of PM 2.5(particulate matter with a diameter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers), as well as the number of days registering serious pollution.
