The draft of the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Jiangsu Province for soliciting public opinions has aroused widespread concern. After more than a month of soliciting opinions, the revised draft has been greatly adjusted. What new changes will be made to the revised regulations? The following is an introduction for you. Restaurants, laundries and auto repair shops are not allowed to be located in residential buildings. For a long time, oil fume has been a big problem that bothers the citizens, and many washing and dyeing shops and auto repair shops are also located on the first floor of residential buildings, which brings great troubles to the residents upstairs. Oil fume, dust and strange smell make residents unable to open windows all the year round. In the previously published draft for comments, the city government should rationally plan the layout of the catering industry. New construction, renovation and expansion of catering services that produce soot and waste gas shall not be located in non-commercial buildings such as residential buildings. On the basis of the previous draft, the revised draft directly and clearly stipulates that no new or expanded restaurants are allowed in residential buildings, and at the same time, washing and dyeing shops and motor vehicle maintenance shops are also prohibited. Not only residential buildings, but also commercial and residential complex buildings without supporting special flue and floors adjacent to residential floors in commercial and residential complex buildings are also listed as "forbidden zones" for these three types of nuisance projects. For restaurants, laundries and car repair shops that have become a reality, the revised draft requires that after the expiration of their business licenses, the industrial and commercial departments will no longer handle the renewal procedures, which means that in a few years at most, these disturbing projects will be driven out of residential buildings. Institutions, schools, hospitals, residential areas, etc. It is forbidden to slaughter and breed livestock. Residents living near slaughterhouses have suffered greatly for many years. Not only does the smell persist in summer, but the dirty water spilled everywhere has also seriously affected the living environment. In this revision, a new clause was added to the "prevention and control of other air pollution" section, requiring that slaughtering and livestock breeding activities be prohibited in institutions, schools, hospitals, residential areas and other places. Units and individuals engaged in slaughter, livestock and poultry breeding and other activities must take effective measures to prevent pollution in surrounding residential areas. The clause "Sewage can still be discharged under the smog warning, but electricity and water can be cut off" was deleted, and the regulations also increased or decreased during the revision process. For example, considering that our province has a separate emergency plan for heavy pollution days, the original single chapter on "early warning and emergency" was deleted. The penalty measures supporting this chapter, such as "If the relevant sewage units refuse to implement the decision of the local government to stop production or limit production, the government can notify the relevant units to stop power supply and water supply, and force them to stop production or limit production according to law", are also deleted.
