Important events of Xingtai Environmental Protection Bureau

Xingtai City frequently ranks last among the 74 cities in the country in terms of air quality.

In October 2014, haze weather hit Xingtai again, and Xingtai City has initiated a yellow (Level III) warning for heavy pollution. The shocking slogans posted in Xingtai also shocked many netizens. At the same time, a Korean TV station even reported on China's haze using Xingtai as an example. The influence of Xingtai's haze has spread beyond the country and gone international.

At 15:00 on October 8, 2014, in response to severely polluted weather, Xingtai City launched a yellow (Level III) early warning for heavily polluted weather, and implemented the yellow warning in accordance with the "Xingtai City Heavy Pollution Weather Emergency Plan (Trial)" (Level III) emergency response measures. On the one hand, there are practical measures to limit pollutant emissions from industrial enterprises and suspend official vehicles for 30 days. On the other hand, banners are displayed to boost morale. Among them, there is a banner hanging on the basketball court in front of the Xingtai Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau to welcome the "haze". The shocking slogan on it is "domineering" and the title is: Cheers for our city to withdraw from the last place in the air quality ranking of 74 cities in the country!
