Features: With the development of China's environmental protection cause, the role of environmental protection standards in various fields of environmental protection has become increasingly prominent. They have become an important basis for implementing the fundamental national policy of environmental protection, carrying out the "Decision of the State Council on Several Issues of Environmental Protection," achieving environmental protection goals, and strengthening unified environmental supervision. In recent years, with the intensification of environmental management efforts, new standards have been continuously released, and old standards have been successively revised. The use of expired or ineffective standards has occasionally occurred. To enable environmental protection departments at all levels and relevant units to implement environmental protection standards correctly and effectively in their work, we have compiled the series Compendium of New China Environmental Protection Standards. This series includes all national environmental protection standards and environmental protection industry standards (excluding environmental standard samples) that were in effect as of the end of December 2000 (a total of 402 items). The entire series is divided into five volumes: Air Environment Volume (95 items), Water Environment Volume (142 items), Soil, Solid Waste, Noise, and Vibration Volume (67 items), Nuclear Radiation and Electromagnetic Radiation Volume (48 items), and Basic and Environmental Protection Industry Standards Volume (50 items). For convenience of reference, each volume is categorized and arranged; within each category, standards are ordered by quality standards, emission standards, and method standards, and then arranged in chronological order of their release.
