   In 2003, an area of 186 square kilometers was constructed, where smoking and dust were controlled. In the urban area of 177 square kilometers, its noise index met the environment standards. In the urban areas, the daily average suspended particles in air was 0.172 rog/m3. The daily average content of sulfur dioxide in air was 0.099mg/m3. The daily average content of nitrogen dioxide in air was 0.037rog/m3. Each of the three indexes was reduced by 15.2 per cent compared with 2002. The air quality reached the Grade II in 153 clays in the whole year. As high as 83.3 per cent of surface water was qualified in quality, basically meeting the State's standards.
