| Officials with China National Environment Monitoring Center said that the country will further strengthen the environment monitoring system next year. Focus will be laid on improving data transmission and system expanding and automatization, according to Friday's China Daily. The officials said the system monitors China's environmental situation to detect pollution, particularly pollution of the air and water. The center then sends reports to the government for use in policy making and pollution control. The center plans to build more automatic monitoring stations for air quality across the country, including some in rural areas, according to China Daily. Ding Zhongyuan, the center's deputy director, said Thursday that attention should be paid to the air quality in China's vast countryside, where a huge population of farmers lives. He said that preparatory work will start in rural areas next year and the monitoring stations are expected to start operation in 2003. Another 30 automatic monitoring stations for water quality are to be completed by next June with financial support from the World Bank. China currently has 111 automatic monitoring stations for water quality along the country's 10 major rivers. |
