Brief Introduction
I.
Main Contents
This chapter contains information that
reflects natural resource conditions and the development of environment
protection in
Data on natural conditions cover land area,
mountain ranges, rivers, ocean and meteorological phenomena.
Data on natural resources cover use of
land, change in cultivated land, water resources, forest resources, mineral
resources and meteorological phenomena.
The development of environment protection
mainly include water supply and utilization, discharge and treatment of
industrial and other waste water; urban air quality, emission and treatment of
waste gas; production, treatment and utilization of industrial solid wastes,
collection and disposal of consumption wastes in cities; national monitoring of
road traffic noise and urban environmental noise in key cities;
afforestation and natural protection; incidences of geological, seismic, marine
and forest disasters, environmental pollution and destruction incidents;
investment in environment pollution treatment, etc.
II.
Sources of Data
Data on natural conditions are compiled by
the Department of Comprehensive Statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics
using relevant historical data.
Data on meteorological phenomena, mineral
and water resources, collection and disposal of urban consumption wastes, use
of land and change in cultivated land, forest resources, marine disasters, etc.
are provided respectively by National Meteorological Administration, Ministry
of Land and Resources, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Housing and
Urban-Rural Development, State Forestry Administration and State Oceanic
Administration.
Data on environmental pollution and
treatment, pollutants from consumption, acoustic environment and on investment
in the treatment of industrial pollution are provided by the Ministry of
Environmental Protection.
III.
Scope of Statistics and Methods of Survey
1) Scope of statistics: industrial
enterprises, urban living and other urban units which discharge pollutants.
2) Survey methods for discharge and
treatment of industrial pollutants: comprehensive survey is conducted on all
key industrial enterprises, while overall estimation is carried out for non-key
enterprises. Data on discharge of pollutants of key and non-key enterprises
make up the total discharge of the region.
Data on pollution from consumption and
other sources are estimated using relevant statistics and technical parameters.
