我國多地空氣污染爆表 三大因素爲元兇

The Ministry of Environmental Protection said that industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust fumes and heating reliant on coal were three main factors that caused wide-spread air pollution across China in the past week.

環保部日前表示，工業排放、機動車尾氣和燃煤採暖是造成上週我國發生的大範圍空氣污染的三個主要因素。

The spell of smog enveloped more than 30 cities in six provinces, from Heilongjiang in Northeast China to Jiangsu and Anhui in East China, spanning more than 1,600 km.

從東北地區的黑龍江到華東地區的江蘇和安徽，此輪霧霾波及6個省份、30多個城市，跨越1600多公里。

Gong Zhengyu, atmospheric air chamber chief at China National Environmental Monitoring Center said that from November 2 to 6, the air quality index for over 10 cities in northeast China soared off the charts to surpass a maximum 500.

中國國家環保部監測總站大氣督查室主任宮正宇表示，自11月2日到11月6日期間，中國東北地區十多個城市的空氣質量指數已達最高值500，達到空前糟糕的狀態。

The most seriously-hit area was Harbin, which saw 704 and 1,281 micrograms per cubic meter in PM2.5 density both daily and hourly on Nov. 4.

其中，哈爾濱的情況尤其嚴重。在11月4日這一天，哈爾濱PM2.5的日均值和小時值分別達到704微克/立方米和1281微克/立方米。

Chai Fahe, a researcher from Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences said that the northeast has experienced extreme polluted weather for a continuous 4 years, with the main reasons being coal heating and biomass burning emissions.

中國環境科學研究院研究員柴發合表示，東北地區已連續四年發生極重污染天氣，其主要原因是燃煤採暖和生物質燃燒排放。

Heavy pollution in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was attributed to industrial emissions and vehicle exhaust fumes.

京津冀地區重污染的原因是工業排放和機動車尾氣。

Chai called for enhanced regional cooperation in air pollution prevention and control, as well as the improvement of heavy air pollution contingency plans.

柴發合呼籲，應強化區域大氣污染聯防聯控，完善重污染天氣應急預案。
