Tong Yanchao, a second-level inspector of the Atmospheric Environment Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that China has strengthened in-depth air pollution control. 96% of the country's coal and electricity installations and 90% of the country's steel production capacity have achieved ultra-low emissions, and the world's largest clean coal power and steel production system has been built. In 2025, China's air quality reached its highest level in history. The proportion of good days and the proportion of days with heavy pollution were the best since monitoring records were recorded. The reporter learned that China's air quality improvements have benefited from long-term structural adjustments and refined pollution control, which have fundamentally reduced pollutant emissions. Tong Yanchao said that air pollution control work needs to be further deepened and implemented during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period. The next step will be to take the new version of the ambient air quality standard as the lead, with the reduction in PM2.5 concentration as the main line, highlight accurate, scientific, and legal pollution control, vigorously promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial, energy, and transportation structures and in-depth pollution control, and promote overall air quality improvement.
