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.
