On November 3, Huang Runqiu, Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, chaired a standing meeting of the Ministry to consider and adopt in principle the amendments to the Discharge Standards for Water Pollutants in Medical Institutions, the Discharge Standards for Air Pollutants in Cement Industry, and the Noise Emission Standards for Urban Rail Transit (hereinafter referred to as the three emission standards). Report on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution in China (2025), Total Quota and Allocation Plan for Steel, Cement and Aluminum Smelting Industries in the National Carbon Emission Trading Market in 2024 and 2025, Environmental Impact Report (Construction Stage) of Units 3 and 4 of Zhejiang Sanao Nuclear Power Plant and Phase I of Shandong Zhaoyuan Nuclear Power Plant and Review and Supervision of Construction Permit Applications.
The meeting pointed out that the revision of the three emission standards is of great significance for further improving China's ecological environment standard system, promoting the improvement of ecological environment quality and ensuring ecological environment security. Medical institutions should be guided to strengthen the control of water pollutant discharge according to the new requirements and improve the standardized management level of sewage treatment. It is necessary to strengthen the control of air pollution in the cement industry and promote the green and low-carbon development of the industry. We should strengthen the prevention and control of noise pollution in urban rail transit and speed up the formulation and improvement of supporting technical specifications. We should strengthen publicity, interpretation and training guidance, enhance the understanding and recognition of standards by all parties, and ensure the effectiveness of emission standards.
The meeting emphasized that the Report on Noise Pollution Prevention and Control in China (2025) embodies the latest progress in noise pollution prevention and control in China and is an important window for the public to understand the effectiveness of noise control. Great efforts should be made to solve the noise problem at the "door" of the common people, strengthen the coordination between the upper and lower levels, co-management and co-governance of departments, and actively respond to the concerns of the people. We should scientifically plan ideas and countermeasures for noise pollution prevention and control during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, strengthen source control and precise measures, and promote the continuous improvement of sound environmental quality. We should do a good job of publicity and interpretation after the release of the report, and mobilize all social forces to form a joint force for noise pollution prevention and control.
The meeting pointed out that the carbon market is an important policy tool to actively respond to climate change and accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development by using market mechanisms. We should guide all localities to do a good job in issuing and clearing carbon market quotas accurately, on time and efficiently, and promote the steel, cement and aluminium smelting industries to complete their first performance with high quality. We should strengthen the supervision of carbon market trading activities, gradually enrich market participants, and establish and improve the market regulation mechanism. We should systematically plan key tasks of the national carbon market construction, steadily expand the coverage, gradually implement the total quota control, steadily implement the paid allocation of quotas, and accelerate the construction of a more effective, dynamic and internationally influential carbon market.
The meeting stressed that nuclear security concerns national security, people's health and social stability, and is an important part of national security. We should adhere to the principle of strictness and supervision according to law, urge operating units, general contractors, civil installation units and supervision units to implement their responsibilities, effectively operate the quality assurance system, and ensure the high-quality construction of nuclear power projects. Strengthen the supervision of environmental protection of nuclear power plants after the event to ensure that the construction activities of nuclear power plants conform to the laws, regulations and standards of ecological environment protection.
The meeting also considered other matters. Yu Huiwen, Vice Minister of the Ministry of
Ecology and Environment, Liao Xiyuan, Head of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Discipline Commission in the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Dong Baotong and Li Gao, Vice Ministers of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and Ren Yong, Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, attended the meeting.
