Abstract: | As a party of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, China must submit its national implementation plan
(NIP) for this convention. The strategy and action plan for reducing the release of dioxins in China are the most important
components of the NIP. Three problems are key points for developing such strategy and action plan—what are the key sources
for applying the best available technology/best environmental practice (BAT/BEP) to reduce the release of dioxins? How about
the capacity for reducing the dioxins release from the key sources? Where are the areas of priority for applying BAT/BEP?
This paper shows the efforts towards the solution of these problems. The list of key sources covering about half of the total
dioxins release was determined considering four criteria. The capacity of key sources were estimated based on the difference
between the emission factor corresponding to the actual situation in 2004 and that corresponding to the scenario that all
key sources have been applied BAT/BEP to reduce the dioxins release. The priority analysis using the geographical information
system (GIS) tool has revealed that castern provinces should be of high priority in the future reduction activities of dioxins
release in China. |
