[Henan Air Quality Environmental Protection Emergency Control Information] It is understood that some large-scale lead smelters in Henan reported that starting today, vehicles meeting the National V (i.e., those complying with the national fifth stage motor vehicle pollutant emission standards) and below emission standards would be restricted from entering the premises. The restriction period was from August 25 to September 3. During this period, National VI vehicles (those complying with the national sixth stage motor vehicle pollutant emission standards) could transport normally, but due to the relatively small number of such vehicles, the transportation restrictions led to extended transportation cycles for lead ingots and scrap batteries. It is reported that last week, Qin Baojian, the Director of the Jiyuan City Demonstration Zone Management Committee and Mayor, conducted a survey on air pollution prevention and control work, emphasizing the need to focus on key tasks, tighten responsibilities, and go all out to win the battle against air pollution.
