SHANGHAI, Aug 16 (SMM) – The Shandong government has kicked off a fresh round of environmental probes across the province this week, SMM learned.
It remains unknown when the probes would come to an end.
However, steel mills and nickel pig iron (NPI) mills across the region have yet to receive any impact from this move, SMM learned.
