Beijing: The maximum penalty for open-air barbecue is 21,111

Smoky open-air barbecue has always been a chronic disease in urban governance. Recently, the Standing Committee of the 14th Beijing Municipal People's Congress held its fifth meeting to conduct a preliminary review of the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Beijing (Draft). The "Draft" refines the punishment for open-air barbecue, stipulating that no unit or individual may barbecue food in the open air in the area prohibited by the government or provide a venue for open-air barbecue food; Violation of regulations will result in a fine of less than 21,111 yuan. So, what's the harm of open-air barbecue? What impact will it have on air quality? What are the binding regulations on urban catering lampblack in China? This issue should be interpreted around these issues.

What are the hazards of open-air barbecue?

The open-air barbecue that pollutes the environment is becoming an important pollution source that affects the urban environment. Most of the fuel used in open-air barbecue is charcoal or coke, which will produce a lot of soot, cinder and coal ash, which will seriously pollute the air. Not only the fuel pollutes, but also the grease, meat residue, condiment, etc. dropped in the fuel also pollutes when burning. In the thick smoke produced by all kinds of grease on charcoal fire, its smell is very unpleasant and it contains fine particles that pollute the atmospheric environment. These pollutants are discharged with smoke, which makes the stalls filled with gases that are harmful to health.

The harmful substances in barbecue smoke are carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, benzopyrene and so on. Among them, benzopyrene is internationally recognized as a strong carcinogen, which accumulates in the body and easily causes gastric cancer and intestinal cancer. Moreover, the human body inhales this polluted air for a long time, which is also easy to induce cancer. The heat emitted by barbecue and fried food is easy to cause pharyngeal inflammation and may even get pneumonia. The World Health Organization has published a three-year research result that is shocking: eating barbecue is equivalent to the toxicity of smoking. The research shows that 1 roast chicken leg is equivalent to the toxicity of 61 cigarettes, and 1 mutton string is equivalent to the toxicity of 21 cigarettes.

besides polluting the environment, the sanitary condition of open-air barbecue itself is also worrying. Most of the raw materials have not been quarantined by the health department, and the cleaning conditions are poor, so it is difficult to guarantee food safety.

Q&A

How much impact does it have on PM2.5?

open-air barbecue of harmful ingredients is a typical pollution source of PM2.5 Most open-air barbecues have no smoking devices, and the fuels used are mostly firewood and charcoal. During barbecue, pollutants produced by fuel combustion include carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and benzo (a) pyrene. The concentration of benzo (a) pyrene in the flue gas where kebab stalls are concentrated is very high, which can be 61~111 times higher than the national standard at the highest. In addition, most barbecue stalls are put out at night, but there is an inversion phenomenon at night, and the air flow is slow and not easy to spread, so the pollution will be more serious than during the day.

experimental data "Chongqing Evening News" and Chongqing Youth Environmental Exchange Center recently conducted a field test on a barbecue stall. The results showed that at 21: 11, when the charcoal was just heated, PM2.5 fluctuated between 65 and 81 μ g/m3, and the air quality was good; At 21: 31, after a simple barbecue, the inspectors repeatedly monitored at a place 1 meters away from the downwind. The concentrations of PM2.5 were 86 μ g/m3, 94 μ g/m3 and 112 μ g/m3, respectively, which tended to be slightly polluted. At 22: 53, the inspectors monitored at a place 1 meters away from the downwind, and the concentration of PM2.5 rose to 295 μ g/m3. At this moment, the PM11 reached 619 μ g/m3, which was a serious pollution. At 23: 17, the barbecue of the last batch of guests was all finished, and the barbecue grill no longer emitted heavy smoke. At this moment, the concentration of PM2.5 at the downwind of the barbecue stall was 1.21 μ g/m3, which was moderately polluted.

what are the policies and measures in Beijing?

As early as 2111, Beijing promulgated the Regulations on Prohibiting Open-air Barbecue of Food in Beijing, which prohibited open-air barbecue of food in streets, hutongs, squares, residential quarters, public green spaces and other public places in urban and suburban areas of Beijing. The specific scope of prohibiting open-air barbecues in outer suburbs and counties and towns shall be delineated by the people's governments of outer suburbs and counties.

anyone who barbecues food in the open air in violation of regulations shall be ordered to stop the illegal act and be fined up to 5,111 yuan; Those who engage in open-air barbecue food without a license shall be confiscated in accordance with the provisions of Article 22 of the Provisional Regulations on the Administration of Urban and Rural Individual Industrial and Commercial Households. Those who engage in outdoor barbecue food without a license for migrant workers and businessmen in Beijing shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of Article 36 of the Regulations of Beijing Municipality on the Administration of Migrant Workers and Businessmen in Beijing.

the responsible unit of "three guarantees in front of the door" should discourage and stop the outdoor barbecue of food in the responsible area and report to the urban management supervision organization. If the unit responsible for "three bags in front of the door" does not dissuade or report to the urban management supervision organization, it shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the "Measures for the Administration of the Responsibility System of" three bags in front of the door "in Beijing. Start-up units of consumer goods and means of production markets shall strengthen supervision and inspection to stop barbecue food in the market. If the start-up unit fails to stop the open-air barbecue food in the market, the administrative department for industry and commerce shall impose a fine of less than 5,111 yuan. Urban management is mainly responsible for law enforcement inspection.

In the "Beijing Air Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations (Draft)" reviewed a few days ago, the Urban Construction and Environmental Protection Committee of Beijing Municipal People's Congress suggested that no unit or individual should barbecue in the open air or provide a venue for barbecue in an area prohibited by the government, and once barbecue or provide a venue in a "restricted area", a fine of less than 21,111 yuan may be imposed. The Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government also deployed and implemented the Clean Air Action Plan in 2113, and introduced 69 specific measures to improve air quality, including formulating detailed rules for "strengthening the control of cooking fume pollution" and "strengthening the supervision of open-air barbecues".
