Irregularities found in environment inspections in smog-hit China

BEIJING, Jan. 2 (PNA/Xinhua) -- A number of companies were found to have irregularities harming the country's environment protection efforts, the Ministry of Environmental Protection has said.

The irregularities, including unauthorized resumption of production despite a government ban and non-compliance with emission reduction measures, were discovered by 10 inspection teams recently dispatched to local regions by the ministry.

The inspection teams called for local governments and relevant companies to investigate and rectify the situation as soon as possible.

Beijing environmental authorities said Monday the city will maintain an orange alert for heavy air pollution for three more days as heavy smog is set to continue.

The alert, originally effective from Friday to Sunday, will not be lifted until midnight Wednesday, according to the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau.

A total of 25 cities in China Sunday issued red alerts for smog.

Air quality in Beijing is better on Monday than Sunday because of weak cold air but will return to medium or heavy pollution levels Tuesday and Wednesday, the bureau said.

Under an emergency plan, heavy polluting gasoline-fueled vehicles and trucks carrying construction garbage are banned from roads. A number of manufacturing firms are required to cut production.

China has a four-tier alert system for pollution, with red the highest, followed by orange, yellow and blue.(PNA/Xinhua)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
