Air Quality Management
Air Pollution has become a serious problem in many countries, especially where rapid industrial development is taking in place. Pollution substances (e.g. Sox, NOx and dust) can cause serious health damage, but may be co-controlled together with GHGs by taking integrated measures.
Environmental Model City Project in Guiyang
This environmental model city project is being implemented as a comprehensive countermeasure to improve the quality of urban environment, including reducing air pollution. Through technical and financial cooperation by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and JBIC, as well as active efforts by the Chinese authorities and local people, air pollution substances will be dramatically reduced: SO2 will be cut by 80.54% or 163,500t, PM by 66.3% or 57,080t, and CO2 by 1,067,400t.
