提高我国区域大气污染联防联控科技支撑能力的建议

Comments on Enhancing the Role of Science and Technology in China's Air Quality Management

区域性大气污染在我国大范围同时出现的频次日益增多,严重威胁人民群众的健康。从发达国家治理区域大气污染的经验看,在每个关键治理阶段,无论是制定治理政策措施,还是出台污染物排放标准,科学研究和科技成果都在其中发挥了关键支撑作用。建议我国相关部门在治理区域大气污染过程中借鉴国外的成功经验,加强区域大气污染成因与对策的系统整合研究,加强不同来源的环境监测信息和数据的共享与公开,加强关键问题的识别,并对大气污染领域基础性和关键性问题予以长期和稳定支持。

The occurrence of high air pollution episodes in multiple regions simultaneously in China is increasing in recent years, which poses great risk to people’s health. Experiences from industrialized countries revealed that science and technology have been playing a pivotal role in setting air quality standards, monitoring air quality, and designing pollution control policies. By analyzing the status-quo of air quality management in China and borrowing the experiences from industrialized countries, this paper suggests that integrated analysis combining the cause, impact and policy of air pollution is needed in addressing regional air pollution problem, mechanisms for information and data sharing among multiple agencies should be designed, and sustainable and stable support for fundamental science and technology research and development is desired to identify key problems and solve challenging problems.
