The newly revised pollution control standard for domestic waste incineration (gb18485-2014), which is widely concerned and expected by the industry, was finally approved by the Ministry of environmental protection on April 28 and officially released by the Ministry of environmental protection on May 16. The new standard will be implemented from July 1 this year. On May 30, the news of the release of the new standard was announced on the website of the Ministry of environmental protection in **** No. 35, 2014. "Compared with the current standard, the new standard is more stringent, more scientific and more in line with the actual requirements." Wangqi, director of the Institute of solid waste of the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences, who is responsible for the revision of the new standard, said, "especially the new working condition control index, which moves the pollution control from the end to the process, is an active exploration in the formulation of environmental standards in China."
After the current pollution control standard for domestic waste incineration was issued in 2001, it has played an important role in strengthening pollution control, preventing secondary pollution and promoting the technical progress of domestic waste incineration facilities. However, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection of governments at all levels and the general public, the pace of construction of environmental protection infrastructure in various regions has been significantly accelerated, and a large number of new domestic waste incineration facilities have emerged, which can no longer fully meet the requirements of national environmental protection. To this end, the former State Environmental Protection Administration issued the task of revising the pollution control standard for domestic waste incineration in 2008. Unexpectedly, the revision process lasted six years. During this period, based on extensive research, the standard revision has completed the draft for comments, the draft for comments and the draft for review. For a detailed interpretation of this revision, see the third edition of this issue.
