According to the provincial Environmental Protection Committee Office's requirements for strengthening regional emergency coordination, and in conjunction with the "Zhuzhou City Heavy Pollution Weather Emergency Plan," with the approval of the municipal government, Zhuzhou City has decided to upgrade the heavy pollution weather yellow alert, which was initiated at 6:00 PM on December 31 last year, to an orange alert starting from 5:00 PM on January 3. The Level II orange response measures will be activated, and the specific time for lifting the alert will be announced later based on the results of consultations and assessments by the provincial and municipal authorities.

It is reported that the furnace operating rate of some local enterprises has been restricted under these circumstances, and the production of die-casting zinc alloy has also been affected to some extent, with inventory potentially showing a downward trend. SMM will continue to provide follow-up reports.
