Action for air quality control under review
Draft unites Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei in effort to battle smog
The draft of a coordinated mechanism for Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province to cooperate in air pollution control has been sent to the State Council for further review, an official with Hebei's environmental department said on Tuesday.
A united organization composed of leaders from the three governments will be set up once the draft receives approval, which will help officials release early warnings on smog and allow for concerted actions to curb air pollution, said Sun Xuejun, head of the pollution control office with Hebei Environmental Protection Bureau.
