Abstract
This study is a joint effort of the
Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), Chinese experts,
and the World Bank to inform the policy-making process in
line with the government of China s medium- and long-term
objectives. Specifically the study aims to assist MEP,
provincial governments, and municipalities by: (1) Proposing
a national PM10 compliance plan to help non-compliant cities
attain grade II - preferably by 2015 or in certain cases by
2020 at the latest - and already compliant cities to further
reduce PM concentrations. The plan would include (a)
policies and regulations and associated physical
interventions/measures; (b) geographical scope; (c)
sequencing of interventions; and (d) feasible environmental
investments likely to have high benefit/cost ratios. (2)
recommending a PM2.5 monitoring system and related data applications.
