11、ter many years of development, a theoretical framework has been established for compiling the SOE reports, using the pressure – state – response model. An indicator system, with a reliable information collection network,

21、on pollutants specified in the national ambient air quality standard, and on the assessment results of the urban air quality during the week, expressed as an air pollution index (API)2 (Table 1). On January 21, 1997, the

22、 10th session of the Third Environment Commission of the State Council decided that weekly reporting on urban ambient air quality should be carried out in 47 </p><p>　　The weekly reports are released via rad

23、io, TV, newspapers, 168 telephone information stations, Internet and on-street billboards, with the first three media being the most popular.</p><p>　　On January 2, 1998, China Environmental News began relea

26、r quality reports for key cities for more than two years, China decided to issue daily air quality reports for 32 provincial capitals and ten coastal and tourism cities from June 5, 1999. At the same time, the classifica

27、tion criteria and pollutants were adjusted: while the SO2 indicator was unchanged, inhalable particles and NO2 replaced total suspended particulates. Five more coastal cities are to be added eventually. Box 2 shows a dai

29、public participation in environmental protection. For example, in Nanjing, the first city in China to publish weekly air quality reports in newspapers and on TV, residents did not understand the APIs very well at first,

33、 evaluate environmental pressures from enterprises, related effects on the surrounding environment and the status of the enterprises' environmental management. The information is usually used for various kinds of app

34、raisals and ratings to encourage the more advanced enterprises and put pressure on less advanced ones.</p><p>　　Enterprises are being appraised at national, local and sectoral levels. Environmental assessmen

35、ts are carried out at national level for Enterprise Class, Excellent Environment Factory, Energy Saving Unit, Environmental Protection Advanced Enterprise and Public Health Advanced Enterprise. In addition, the Ministry

36、of Chemical Engineering carries out a Clean and Civilized Enterprise assessment. City appraisals include Garden Enterprise (Beijing and Shanghai) and Shenyang’s 1989 Top Ten Worst Envir</p><p>　　NEPA initiat

37、ed the National Environmental Protection Advanced Enterprises appraisal in 1989. The candidates are proposed by municipal EPBs and examined on-site by provincial EPBs, which recommend which ones to forward to NEPA. An ap

38、praisal committee, with representatives from NEPA departments, China NEMC and ministries, examines these candidates and chooses the winners. The title National Environmental Protection Advanced Enterprise carries an awar

39、d and certificate of honour. The appraisals high</p><p>　　Voting by the public is usually organised by government or the media. For example, the city of Benxi organized a voting for the municipality’s ten he

40、aviest polluters in 1989. Expert or public appraisals of enterprises as less or more advanced have somewhat promoted pollution treatment in enterprises, but in most cases the criteria are general and less detailed, with

41、more subjective factors, and do not objectively reflect enterprises’ environmental performance. Not enough information is available</p><p>　　In 1990, on the basis of a countrywide survey of industrial pollut

42、ion sources, NEPA screened and identified key national pollution sources to be the focus of industrial pollution prevention. These include 3 000 sources that accounted for 65% of the national pollutant load, 6 000 accoun

44、 1993, NEPA published a list of 3 000 key national industrial polluters. The environmental news authorities organized reports by journalists around the country on how local governments and the enterprises themselves were

48、國有企業(yè)報告社會和公眾了解環(huán)境質(zhì)量狀況，有助于提高有關部門的監(jiān)督情況。1991年6月4日，國家環(huán)境保護局（國家環(huán)保局，國家環(huán)?？偩值那吧恚┰谥袊h(huán)境新聞中發(fā)布了關于1990年中國環(huán)境狀況的信息；自那時起，國家環(huán)保局每年都會以這種形式發(fā)布相關環(huán)境信息。從1998年開始，相關環(huán)境報告信息開始發(fā)表于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上。</p><p>　　國有企業(yè)報告是由參與農(nóng)業(yè)、林業(yè)、水資源、地質(zhì)礦產(chǎn)資源、公共衛(wèi)生的各級環(huán)保局，連同國家氣象局

49、、國家海洋局、國家土地資源管理局和國家統(tǒng)計局共同編制。該報告包括三個內(nèi)容：1、環(huán)境污染狀況；2、自然環(huán)境狀況；3、環(huán)境保護工作。這些內(nèi)容通過一些指標來反映，包括環(huán)境質(zhì)量狀況、環(huán)境建設情況、環(huán)境污染預防與控制、自然環(huán)境保護工作的進展。隨著經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展，更多相關環(huán)境信息開始逐漸披露在國有企業(yè)報告中。例如，1998年的報告中還包括了生物多樣性與氣候變化的內(nèi)容。經(jīng)過多年的發(fā)展，編制國有企業(yè)報告的理論框架已經(jīng)形成，使用壓力——狀況——響應這一模型。

50、就這樣，通過一個能夠提供可靠信息采集網(wǎng)絡的指標體系就可以了解中國環(huán)境保護情況。</p><p>　　各省、自治區(qū)、四個直轄市由中央管理的國有企業(yè)須每年發(fā)行自己的環(huán)境報告（圖1），至于市一級的其他報告暫時還未要求。其中一些省份將他們的國有企業(yè)報告發(fā)布在了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上。</p><p>　　除了國家和地方國有企業(yè)的報告，政府還公布關于關鍵環(huán)境管理區(qū)、重點流域的環(huán)境狀況報告，主要針對環(huán)境質(zhì)量狀況、環(huán)

51、境控制和環(huán)境保護工作的進展。比如，1997年6月3日發(fā)布的關于1997年長江三峽工程的生態(tài)和環(huán)境檢測報告，覆蓋三峽庫區(qū)和長江。該報告的主要指標包括檢測網(wǎng)絡、技術的進步、社會經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展、自然生態(tài)環(huán)境狀況、生態(tài)實驗站、污染源排放狀況、環(huán)境質(zhì)量狀況與人類健康。該報告在中國國家環(huán)境監(jiān)測中心（中國和美國）參與其他18單位，包括國家氣象中心，國家林業(yè)生態(tài)環(huán)境監(jiān)測中心，中國長江三峽工程開發(fā)集團和國家地震局的領導下編寫的。一些重點流域的水質(zhì)報告也定期在

52、中國環(huán)境新聞和人民日報中予以披露。</p><p>　　圖1北京市國有企業(yè)城市環(huán)境報告主要指標</p><p><b>　　2、環(huán)境質(zhì)量報告</b></p><p>　　1980年，國家環(huán)保局以中國一些地區(qū)城市環(huán)境質(zhì)量的情況為依據(jù)開始編寫環(huán)境報告。1991年，中國國家環(huán)境監(jiān)測中心發(fā)布了第一個獲批準的全國環(huán)境質(zhì)量報告。這個報告被列為“國家秘密”，

53、只能由各級環(huán)保部門和環(huán)境監(jiān)測技術員工才可以查看。環(huán)境質(zhì)量簡介須提供給各級環(huán)保部門領導。該報告的主要內(nèi)容和指標包括空氣質(zhì)量狀況，酸雨污染現(xiàn)狀，城市河流水質(zhì)狀況，主要河流的水質(zhì)狀況，湖泊、水庫的污染現(xiàn)狀，近海域水質(zhì)狀況，城市噪聲狀況及輻射環(huán)境質(zhì)量狀況。</p><p>　　3、每周（每天）城市環(huán)境質(zhì)量報告</p><p>　　環(huán)境空氣質(zhì)量報告須每星期公布。該報告根據(jù)常規(guī)監(jiān)測中國家環(huán)境空氣質(zhì)量標

54、準指定常用的污染物和以空氣污染指數(shù)為表現(xiàn)形式的每周城市空氣質(zhì)量評估結(jié)果編寫（表1）。1997年1月21日，第十屆第三屆國務環(huán)境委員會決定三個地區(qū)的47個重點城市每周須公布城市環(huán)境空氣質(zhì)量報告在1997年6月5日到1998年6月5日期間。</p><p>　　每周城市環(huán)境質(zhì)量報告公布通過廣播，電視，報紙，168電話信息臺，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和路邊廣告牌進行，其中主要以前三者方式居多。</p><p>　

55、　1998年1月2日，中國環(huán)境新聞周刊開始發(fā)表一些城市的每周城市環(huán)境質(zhì)量報告書，包括沈陽，大連，天津，南京，合肥，上海，杭州，福州，廈門 ，廣州，武漢，珠海，深圳和重慶，南寧。該報自加入其他31個城市后，于每星期六發(fā)表報告。此外，中國環(huán)境保護重點城市的空氣質(zhì)量指數(shù)也在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上發(fā)布。</p><p>　　在重點城市空氣質(zhì)量周報發(fā)表兩年以后，中國決定于1999年6月5日起發(fā)布32個省會城市和十個沿海旅游城市的每日空氣

56、質(zhì)量報告。同時，還對于分類標準和污染物進行了調(diào)整：當二氧化硫指標不變，可吸入顆粒物和二氧化氮取代總懸浮顆粒物。超過五個沿海城市最終也加入了這個行列。圖2顯示北京的一個每日空氣質(zhì)量報告。</p><p>　　發(fā)表每周（日）城市空氣質(zhì)量報告有助于提高政府的形象，增強市民的環(huán)保意識，鼓勵公眾參與環(huán)境保護。例如，中國第一大城市——南京將城市空氣質(zhì)量報告刊登在報紙和電視上，開始市民并不能很好地了解空氣污染指數(shù)，很多人想知道

57、這些指數(shù)到底暗示著什么。經(jīng)過一段時間以后，人們才明白空氣污染指數(shù)暗示著他們生活的城市環(huán)境質(zhì)量狀況，當你想采購或者觀光旅游時就會把它作為一個參考依據(jù)。所以現(xiàn)在他們開始自愿幫助提高城市環(huán)境質(zhì)量。</p><p>　　表一空氣污染指數(shù)及相應的空氣質(zhì)量水平</p><p>　　圖2北京每日城市環(huán)境空氣質(zhì)量報告</p><p>　　二、企業(yè)環(huán)境績效指標和信息披露 </p

58、><p>　　1、企業(yè)工程評估和評級</p><p>　　通過環(huán)境影響評估、“三同時”許可證制度、排污申報等級、排污許可證、現(xiàn)場檢查和其他措施，環(huán)保局可以評估占正在面對環(huán)境壓力的企業(yè)，針對企業(yè)周圍環(huán)境及環(huán)境管理狀況做出相應的措施。這些信息通常用于各種類型的評價和評級來鼓勵一些先進企業(yè)，另外給那些環(huán)境管理差的企業(yè)施加壓力。</p><p>　　企業(yè)根據(jù)評國家、地方及行業(yè)等

59、水平來評估。環(huán)境評估可以分為國家一級企業(yè)、環(huán)境優(yōu)秀企業(yè)、節(jié)能環(huán)保企業(yè)、環(huán)保先進企業(yè)和公共衛(wèi)生先進企業(yè)。此外，化工工程部實施清潔文明企業(yè)評估。城市評估包括園林企業(yè)（北京和上海）和1989年沈陽的十個環(huán)境管理最差企業(yè)和1990年十個企業(yè)環(huán)境管理最好的。其中一些評估是由政府和其他公共組織進行的。</p><p>　　1989年，國家環(huán)保局實行了全國環(huán)保先進企業(yè)評審制度。由市環(huán)保局推薦的候選企業(yè)通過省環(huán)保局的現(xiàn)場檢查然后

60、上報國家環(huán)保局并參與全國環(huán)保先進企業(yè)評審。由國家環(huán)保局部門、國家環(huán)境監(jiān)測中心的代表組成的評審委員會，審查這些候選企業(yè)，最終選出最后的優(yōu)勝者。全國環(huán)保先進企業(yè)會獲得一個獎章及證書榮譽。這些企業(yè)是先進、典型的并具有權威性的企業(yè)。所有申請者由省部級部門機關命名為省部級環(huán)境保護先進企業(yè)（或其他類似的稱號）。截至1997年，國家環(huán)保局進行了六次評審，共有超過500家企業(yè)獲得了全國環(huán)保先進企業(yè)稱號。此外，在1996年，國家環(huán)保局重新評審了1989年

61、和1990年國家獲獎者，保留了其中的183個企業(yè)，所頒布的證書四年有效。而其他企業(yè)被撤銷此稱號，其中包括八個不再符合要求的企業(yè)和六個已停止生產(chǎn)的企業(yè)。</p><p>　　公眾投票通常由政府或媒體組織。例如，本溪市在1989年舉辦了以直轄市的十個重污染企業(yè)為對象的一個投票評審。專家或公眾評估企業(yè)或多或少有關注那些促進污染治理的先進企業(yè)，但在大多數(shù)情況下，由于主觀因素是因為標準不詳細，所以不能主觀地反映企業(yè)環(huán)境績效

62、。無法獲得足夠的信息，因此投票評審往往缺乏公平和公正的評價。此外，隨著環(huán)境的加強管理和環(huán)保事業(yè)的發(fā)展，這類專家公眾鑒定已不適合目前的環(huán)境保護趨勢而被停止。</p><p>　　1990年，在全國工業(yè)污染源調(diào)查的基礎上，國家環(huán)保局篩選和確定國家重點污染源作為重點工業(yè)污染防治對象。這些對象中包括3000個占全國污染物負荷的65%的污染源，6000個占75%和9000個占 85% </p><p&g

63、t;　　1991年，國家環(huán)保局針對工業(yè)污染源監(jiān)測的暫行辦法規(guī)定并且實施了季節(jié)性監(jiān)測報告系統(tǒng)。1993年5月7日，國家環(huán)保局公布了3000個國家重點工業(yè)污染源名單。環(huán)境新聞機構組織發(fā)表了由國家記者關于各地地方政府及企業(yè)本身的回應內(nèi)容發(fā)表的報告，并開始常規(guī)列為“1000家企業(yè)代理”。這個污染源名單是完全基于污染廢水或廢棄物排放，但其程度排放與企業(yè)的規(guī)模和行業(yè)特性密切相關。名單的出版為環(huán)保部門和研究機構提供了幫助，并在一定程度上對企業(yè)產(chǎn)生了促
