Review of Secrete Industry Discharge in China and the Corresponding Reasons

Abstract:

Based on the review of some typical secrete industry discharges in China in recent years, the characteristics of secrete discharge are summarized as follows: most of the secret discharge industries are of heavy pollution with high toxicity, heavy COD concentration and expensive treatment cost, and these companies include private, state-owned or multinational corporations, and some even own a variety of honors. Main reasons for secret emissions include inadequate environmental policies and institutional issues, no-in-place law enforcement, low costs of illegal discharge and lack of economically viable technologies, etc. Therefore, some measures are proposed: reform of environmental policies and performance evaluation mechanism, improve the capacity of environmental supervision, increase the cost of illegal discharge, innovation development model, implementation of cleaner production, and strengthening international cooperation, etc. Introduction
