The action plan was released in 2015. It is planned that in 2013-2017, Beijing will phase out 1 million aging cars, and this year's goal is to remove 300,000 units.
The Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau said on Thursday evening that Beijing's current car ownership is close to 5.7 million, and the emissions of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides from motor vehicles account for 38% and 50% of the city's total emissions, respectively. Motor vehicle pollution is the primary source of local PM2.5.
Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Minister Chen Jining said at the beginning of the year that 31% of suspended particles in Beijing were caused by traffic. Beijing also said that it will take additional measures this year to achieve the 2013-2017 Clean Air Action Plan target.
In the first two months of 2017, Beijing's average PM2.5 concentration per cubic meter reached 95 micrograms, an increase of 69.6% compared with the same period last year, while the World Health Organization recommended only 10 micrograms per cubic meter. Beijing's goal this year is to reduce the content to 60 micrograms per cubic meter.
On Thursday, a sandstorm swept through northern China, bringing PM2.5 concentrations to 630 μg/m3 in parts of Beijing.
