On May 18, Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River after rain, with high gorges and flat lakes, green mountains and green waters, and swirling clouds, formed a beautiful natural ecological beauty. Abstract: Mercury pollution is becoming a serious pollution faced by the world, especially coal-fired power plants account for a large share of it. In this paper, the mercury pollution situation at that time and the monitoring requirements of various governments were sorted out, and the calibrators, catalytic conversion methods, measurement methods, key points and precautions in the system planning of the mercury continuous emission monitoring system CEMS were introduced. Polaris Atmosphere News: Recently, Henan Province printed and distributed the operation plan of Henan Province to promote industrial restructuring and win the battle against pollution. It is required in the plan that by the end of 2019, the province will strive to complete ultra-low emission transformation of steel, aluminum carbon, cement, glass, coking and electrolytic aluminum operations.

Interpretation of the Guidelines of Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Data Inquiry and Handling Measures for Deception

1、 Background

Environmental monitoring is the fundamental operation of ecological environment maintenance and an important support to promote the construction of ecological civilization. Environmental monitoring data is the basic basis for objectively evaluating environmental quality, reflecting the effectiveness of pollution management, and implementing environmental management and decision-making. In recent years, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to deepening the innovation of environmental monitoring, and successively issued the Construction Plan of Ecological Environment Monitoring Network (GBF [2015] No. 56), the Guiding Opinions on Directly Handling the Pilot Operation of System Innovation of the Monitoring and Supervision Rules of Environmental Protection Organizations below the Provincial Level (GBF [2016] No. 63) Opinions on the Quality of Environmental Monitoring Data in the Process of Deepening Environmental Monitoring Innovation (Ting Zi [2017] No. 35) and other important documents, the former Environmental Maintenance Department issued the Measures for Determining and Handling the Deception of Environmental Monitoring Data (HF [2015] No. 175) in December 2015. The release of the above documents has played an important role in ensuring the quality of monitoring data and comprehensively promoting the high-quality implementation of ecological environment monitoring in China.

At that time, in the field of environmental monitoring, local improper interference in environmental monitoring occurred from time to time, the phenomenon of fraud in monitoring data of pollutant discharge units was repeatedly prohibited, and the service level of environmental monitoring organizations was mixed. Across the country, there have been two planned and organized cases of falsification of air quality automatic monitoring data in Xi'an and Linfen. In Shanghai, in 2017, two typical cases of fraud in monitoring data, namely, online dust monitoring and vehicle emission monitoring, were investigated and dealt with. The fraud of these monitoring data seriously disturbs the government's environmental management and scientific decision-making, damages the credibility and authority of environmental monitoring data, and has a very bad impact on ecological environment monitoring operations.

For this reason, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment formulated the Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Data Cheating Behavior Query and Processing Measures (hereinafter referred to as "the Measures") based on the Opinions of the Central Office of the People's Republic of China on the Quality of Environmental Monitoring Data in the Process of Deepening Environmental Monitoring Innovation (Ting Zi [2017] No. 35) and the former Ministry of Environmental Maintenance's Measures for Judging and Handling Environmental Monitoring Data Cheating Behavior (HF [2015] No. 175) and other relevant documents. These Measures will be connected with the Shanghai Environmental Maintenance Law, the Implementation Plan of Shanghai on Environmental Monitoring Data Quality in the Process of Deepening Environmental Monitoring Innovation (H.W.B. [2018] No. 19), the Notice on Strengthening the Supervision and Handling of Ecological Environment Monitoring Organizations in Shanghai (H.P.Z. [2018] No. 409) and other laws or documents, Further clarify the responsibilities of relevant functions of the city in the inquiry and handling of fraud cases of environmental monitoring data, and implement joint punishment and information disclosure for organizations and individuals suspected of fraud to ensure that environmental monitoring data are comprehensive, accurate, objective and realistic.

2、 Details
