eijing has made addressing motor vehicle emission a focus of this year's
air pollution control work, according to a senior environment
protection official Tuesday.
"Targeting motor vehicle exhaust
emissions is precise treatment for the city's smoggy weather as studies
have found they are the top source of the city's major air pollutants,"
said Liu Bingjiang, an official with the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
Liu
said that factors leading to Beijing's air pollution had changed
dramatically as coal consumption now made up less than 10 percent of the
city's energy mix, and over 80 percent of Beijing's industries were in
the tertiary sector.
The smog-prone Chinese capital has
intensified measures to improve its air quality in recent years and has
achieved strong results.
