"Jiangsu gives priority to enriching the people. We should not only consider that our generation is getting rich. We should have a long-term vision and leave a good living environment and development space for our future generations, for our next generation and for our future generations. Therefore, we can also say that we need both golden mountains and silver mountains and green mountains and green hills. We cannot achieve immediate results at the expense of the environment. " In the eyes of Li Yuanchao, secretary of jiangsu provincial party committee, the well-off society in Jiangsu must include good ecology. Pollution control needs "fierce medicine". The reporter learned from the Environmental Protection Department of Jiangsu Province yesterday that Jiangsu will vigorously rectify the three major pollution sources of water pollution, sound pollution and light pollution in the future and strengthen the protection of water environment, sound environment and visual environment.
A noise pollution: 111,111 yuan will make you shut up
Almost every citizen has this experience: just sitting in the classroom, a roar of a pile driver on the nearby land comes unexpectedly, which makes people feel annoyed; I want to sleep late on Sunday, but the sound of the electric drill upstairs breaks the silence, forcing people to get up early ... Noise pollution has become one of the most uncivilized "evils" in modern cities. In order to manage it, from the government down to the people, all have racked their brains, but often with little effect.
some people blame it on the fact that there is no law to follow. But this situation is about to change.
The Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Urban Environmental Noise Pollution in Jiangsu Province (Draft for Review), drafted by the Environmental Protection Department of Jiangsu Province and submitted to the provincial government, was published yesterday. This is the first time that Jiangsu has legislated for the prevention and control of urban environmental noise pollution. In the past, the noise prevention regulations formulated by Jiangsu cities themselves will have a "general commander". Noise pollution used to be a "small penalty"-the highest is only 31 thousand, which is difficult to deter, and will be greatly improved Because of noise pollution, you may be fined up to million yuan in the future.
Where should I complain about noise?
Noise is harmful to human health, which is a cause of modern diseases. It is not alarmist to say that noise is the killer of human health and urban civilization.
"When people encounter noise, they call' 12369' to complain about environmental protection, but we actually don't have management authority over a lot of noise." The relevant staff of Nanjing Environmental Monitoring Detachment complained to reporters. It is reported that the unclear management authority of urban noise pollution in the past has become one of the important reasons for the ineffective prevention and control of noise in Jiangsu. For the first time, the draft of the "Regulations" subdivides the responsibilities of management departments in the form of legislation: the environmental protection administrative department of the local people's government at or above the county level, as the unified supervision and management department for the prevention and control of environmental noise pollution in its jurisdiction, is responsible for the prevention and control of industrial noise, construction noise and noise from catering, entertainment and other service industries; Public security and transportation departments shall, according to their respective responsibilities, be responsible for the supervision and management of noise pollution prevention and control of motor vehicles and ships; Environmental protection and public security departments shall, according to their respective responsibilities, be responsible for the supervision and management of the prevention and control of noise pollution in social life; Construction, planning, urban management, industry and commerce, culture and other departments to assist in the prevention and control of environmental noise pollution.
The Regulations also stipulate that the competent administrative department of environmental protection shall regularly monitor the noise environmental quality and key noise pollution sources, and announce the monitoring results to the public; Real estate developers should announce the environmental noise pollution in residential areas and the preventive measures taken before selling real estate to buyers.
The maximum fine is 111,111 yuan, and the intensity is more than tripled
"The relevant staff of Nanjing Environmental Monitoring Detachment told reporters that the maximum fine for noise pollution in Nanjing is only 31,111 yuan, which is hardly a deterrent because of the low amount of fine, and some large construction enterprises are not" cold "at all-in order to catch up with the construction period, they continue to construct at night to disturb the people. It is reported that the fines imposed on noise in other cities under the jurisdiction of the province are even lower.
in this regard, the draft of the "Regulations" has made mandatory provisions for the prevention and control of noise pollution enterprises. It is stipulated that when building, rebuilding or expanding a construction project in an area where noise-sensitive buildings are concentrated, the construction unit shall negotiate with the surrounding interested public and obtain the consent of more than two-thirds of them. In violation of the provisions, the environmental protection department shall order it to make corrections, and may impose a fine of not less than 31,111 yuan but not more than 1,111 yuan. If the noise emitted by industrial enterprises, production facilities and equipment that produce environmental noise pollution in urban areas exceeds the prescribed emission standards, it shall be treated within a time limit; Those who have been treated or still cannot meet the standard requirements after treatment, or if the public has disputes over environmental noise pollution, they should move or suspend business or close down within a time limit.
It's the first time to decorate a house.
Neighbors "knock and knock" to decorate, and they can't sleep because of the noise, but it's hard to talk about it because of face. This kind of thing is believed to be extremely annoying to many people. The "Regulations" have made very detailed prevention and control norms for a variety of domestic noise pollution. In the "Regulations" submitted for review, it is stipulated for the first time that indoor decoration, furniture making and outdoor repair are carried out in residential buildings, and no operation that produces environmental noise pollution is allowed from 12: 11 to 14: 11 during the day and from 18: 11 to 6: 11 at night.
In the past, the noise caused by family entertainment activities such as karaoke and DISCO dancing could only be called "121" to ask the police to coordinate and deal with it. In the future, the noise caused by excessive entertainment will be "extremely happy"-the Regulations require that residents should control the volume or take other measures when using household appliances and musical instruments such as stereos to hold family entertainment activities to avoid environmental noise pollution to neighboring parties, and it is forbidden to do so at 12: 11 in the daytime. After 22: 11 at night, the volume of TV and other electrical appliances should be reduced. These living noises are supervised and managed by the public security department, and if they violate the above provisions, the public security organ must order them to correct; Refuses to correct, can be more than 2111 yuan fine in 211 yuan.
Motorcycles entering residential areas at night should be implemented
The Regulations also require that motor vehicles entering residential areas or passing through roads located in residential areas and their vicinity should drive at a speed limit to prevent environmental pollution such as noise and vibration from affecting residents' lives; Motorcycles entering and leaving the community from 22: 11 at night to 6: 11 the next morning shall be turned off. If the adjacent upper floor of the underground garage in a residential building is residential, the construction unit shall take sound insulation and earthquake prevention measures when building the underground garage. In violation of the provisions, the environmental protection department shall order it to make corrections, and may impose a fine of not more than 1 million yuan.
In the residential area and its neighborhood streets, squares, parks and other areas, the environmental noise generated by the use of audio equipment shall not exceed the corresponding regional environmental noise standards. During the period from 22: 11 at night to 6: 11 the next morning, it is forbidden to carry out physical exercise, entertainment and other activities in residential areas and their adjacent areas that produce environmental noise pollution and affect the normal rest of surrounding residents. If the violation is serious, the public security organ may confiscate the equipment that produces noise pollution.
The promotion of tweeters will be stopped
Noise pollution caused by construction at night is also one of the focuses that people pay attention to. The "Regulations" stipulate that it is forbidden to carry out construction work that produces environmental noise pollution at night within the urban built-up area; If construction operations that produce environmental noise pollution must be carried out continuously due to production process requirements or special needs, the construction unit shall solicit opinions from the surrounding public and units in the form of hearings and symposiums 15 days before the construction date, and report to the competent administrative department of environmental protection where the project is located seven days before the construction date for approval. The construction unit shall announce the relevant information to the nearby residents two days before the construction date. With the approval of the competent department of environmental protection, the construction work that produces environmental noise pollution can be carried out at night, and the continuous construction shall not exceed 72 hours. Do not work at night for the progress of the project. In violation of the above provisions, the environmental protection department shall order it to make corrections and impose a fine of not less than 3,111 yuan but not more than 11,111 yuan.
It is also proposed in the draft of the Regulations that commercial activities should not use loudspeakers to solicit business, and promotional performances should not use loudspeakers. However, traffic engineering projects such as new highways, urban viaducts, expressway, light rail roads and subways should avoid passing through residential areas, which may cause environmental pollution. The construction unit should take measures to control environmental noise pollution, such as setting up sound insulation screens and three-dimensional greening. The reporter found that Nanjing Metro has adopted ship noise screens to reduce noise along the line.
It is reported that the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Urban Environmental Noise Pollution in Jiangsu Province, the first law enacted by Jiangsu Province to prevent and control urban environmental noise pollution, will be submitted to the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress for deliberation as soon as possible.
bLight pollution: Check it like "Sudan Red"
"Pupils who grow up in Nanjing in the future may not even imagine that there are so many stars in the sky." Last October, this newspaper reported that some facilities of Nanjing Purple Mountain Observatory were relocated due to light pollution, which caused many readers to scream. Nowadays, the Purple Mountain Observatory is "invaded" by light pollution, and the night observation of the observatory has almost been abandoned. In fact, it is not only the astronomical observatory that suffers from "cataract" due to the bright light in Nanjing at night, but also the light pollution has invaded the lives of ordinary people everywhere. The survey shows that many buildings in Jiangsu have excessive light consumption, lack of energy conservation and excessive light pollution. Some buildings compete with each other for brightness and consume huge energy. In the hot summer season last year, landscape lights in Nanjing and other places were forced to turn off. How can cities prevent "light pollution" caused by excessive lighting?
Recently, at the symposium on "Urban Lighting and Light Pollution" held by Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, some well-known experts in optoelectronics, ophthalmology and urban environmental protection in Jiangsu Province got together for the first time and put forward their own views on the issue of "light pollution". Some experts pointed out that although light pollution does not pose a real threat to human body like water, air and food pollution, its potential harm should not be underestimated. We should investigate and deal with "light pollution" like "Sudan Red".
The whole city is not as bright as a few "lights"
"The Eiffel Tower in Paris is radiant at night, but the Seine River not far from it is dark." At this symposium, Hu Zhengrong, deputy director of Jiangsu Optoelectronic Professional Committee and professor of Optoelectronics at Nanjing Southeast University, said that many big cities abroad have long since stopped "lighting projects". They only have some night lighting, but they are also selective.
Professor Hu said that even in famous nightlife cities such as Las Vegas in the United States, lighting at night is being gradually controlled, because the harm of light pollution is obvious. Therefore, he suggested that a city is not as bright as a few lights, but "lighting" should also be well-founded, based on the suitability of human settlements and the harmony with urban culture. For example, the Italian explanation of the "dark" night in Rome is: "This city with a glorious history does not need to be artificially brightened." Ginza, Japan is a world-famous commercial street, but it is not colorful and dazzling, but rather dim. This is because they deliberately eliminate a kind of flashy and fidgety feasting, giving shoppers an unpretentious "home" feeling. Therefore, some busy commercial streets in our cities don't have to be "light tunnels", which will make shoppers feel uncomfortable standing on the stage. The night lighting of commercial street must not be exaggerated, but should be moderate and harmonious.
Say "no" to the improper lighting project
Wang Yuliang, deputy director of Jiangsu Photonics Biomedical and Engineering Society and professor of ophthalmology at Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the impact of light pollution on human body and environment is not easy to be detected in the short term, but it is very harmful if it is hidden for a long time. Light pollution is generally divided into three categories in the world, namely white light pollution, artificial daylight pollution and colored light pollution. Color light pollution refers to the light pollution caused by black lights, rotating lights, fluorescent lights and flashing color light sources installed in dance halls. Color light source is dazzling, which is not only bad for eyes, but also interferes with the central nervous system of the brain, making people feel dizzy and have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and insomnia.
The reporter learned yesterday that the Construction Department of Jiangsu Province has taken the lead in launching the urban lighting construction planning in the country in order to plan the construction of moderate lighting projects in the city and effectively control the light pollution in the city. The plan has made a clear statement on urban lighting, such as how many highlights are in residential areas, how to light tourist attractions, and how to light urban commercial centers. We firmly say "no" to excessive use of colorful flashing lights, excessive setting of light box advertisements and so on. For example, a person from the Construction Department of Jiangsu Province said that if there is a scenic spot with a serious theme, the lighting used in the implementation of the "lighting project" is colorful, but it does not meet the "identity" of the scenic spot. In addition, there is a phenomenon of excessive, excessive and low-grade light box advertisements in cities, and some places with dense institutions and universities have also become the "hardest hit areas" for light box advertisements, which seriously affects the image of the city and will produce serious visual pollution.
The reporter learned that the Measures for Environmental Management of Service Industry in Jiangsu Province formulated by the Provincial Environmental Protection Department are currently being examined and approved by the provincial government and will be implemented soon. The "measures" will restrict and regulate the light pollution in commercial and public places. Previously, the Jiangsu Provincial Urban Appearance Standard issued and implemented by the Construction Department of Jiangsu Province has put forward some recommended requirements for controlling light pollution in the business activities of urban commercial places. The relevant energy-saving requirements in the "green building" being formulated by the department may also put forward certain requirements for the construction of light pollution sources such as glass curtain walls.
C water pollution: if you detoxify, wean you first
Shi Yafeng, an p>85-year-old academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "If the people in Taihu Lake Basin can really drink clean water within 11 years, it will be a great event." Because of the serious water pollution, Yan Fengxia, a fisherman from Sihong County, Jiangsu Province, who lives on a boat in Hongze Lake, buys mineral water for drinking all the year round. "Watching the Huaihe River to buy water for drinking" has become commonplace along the Huaihe River.
Yesterday, the Environmental Protection Department of Jiangsu Province held a press conference on the prevention and control of water pollution in key river basins in Jiangsu Province, and reported the prevention and control of water pollution in Taihu Lake and Huaihe River basins in Jiangsu Province during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period. The water quality compliance rate of 21 control sections entering and leaving Taihu Lake was only 55%, while the Huaihe River basin, as the source of the East Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, was good, but 31% of the 45 river sections still did not meet the national assessment requirements. The meeting revealed that the next step in water control is to take drastic measures.
Half of the rivers entering and leaving Taihu Lake are not up to standard
At noon on March 9, on the eve of World Water Day, a reporter from this newspaper followed Hu Yaohui, an associate researcher of Nanjing Institute of Geography and Lakes, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to Xiaowan of Meiliang Lake in Taihu Lake. This is one of the two main drinking water sources in Wuxi. At present, half of the drinking water in the city comes ashore from here.
"Ⅴ water." Hu Yaohui answered the reporter's question about the water quality of Xiaowan without hesitation. According to the national standard, the drinking water source must reach at least Class III water to be barely qualified, Class IV and Class V are unqualified drinking water sources, and the inferior Class V is just like waste water.
Taihu Lake, which used to be known as the "Pearl" by Wuxi people, is somewhat shocking now. Yesterday, the circular of the provincial environmental protection department pointed out that in 2114, the water quality of the 21 control sections that mainly entered and exited the lake and river was only 55%, which was mainly affected by ammonia nitrogen pollutants. Among the 45 administrative junction sections of the main junction rivers, 28 sections are not up to standard, mainly because the total phosphorus and ammonia nitrogen indexes exceed the standard. The order of water quality compliance in the assessment sections of four cities in Taihu Lake Basin from high to low is Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi and Suzhou.
A related person from the Provincial Environmental Protection Department told reporters yesterday that the Taihu Lake treatment project is "a long way to go" and is urgently needed at present.
