    Most polluted cities in China blacklisted

    The names of the most polluted cities in the country were released Tuesday.

    China's environmental watchdog released the list for the first time as part of efforts to improve air quality across the country.

    North China's Shanxi Province, well-known for its coal industry, stood out with three cities included on the black list: Linfen, Yangquan and Datong.

    The others are Shizuishan in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Sanmenxia in Henan Province, Jinchang in Gansu Province, Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province, Xianyang in Shaanxi Province, Zhuzhou in Hunan Province and Luoyang in Henan Province.

    Beijing, which has seen improved air quality, was still listed at number 28 out of 113 cities included in the list.

    Shi Hanmin, chief official of the local environmental protection authority, said Beijing's goal is to have 80 per cent of fairly good or excellent air quality days a year by 2008.

    However, current pollution control methods and the sheer size of the capital have kept fairly good or excellent days down to 60 per cent of a year. The situation is unlikely to improve drastically, the Beijing News reported.

    The pollution list was released as part of a report on management and comprehensive improvement of environmental protection in key cities in 2003. The report is delivered every year by the State Environmental Protection Administration.

    "These cities must step up efforts to improve air quality," said Wang Jirong, deputy director of the administration.

    Other areas with increasing concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the air, including Nanjing, Guangzhou and Xi'an were also asked to develop effective pollution-reduction plans, she said.

    Though overall environmental quality has improved steadily in the past year, Wang said, environmental infrastructure in 47 key cities has to be strengthened.

    The report said provincial capitals, including Changchun in Northeast China's Jilin Province and Wuhan in Central China's Hubei Province had poor sewage disposal systems while others were struggling with consumer waste.

    The cities with most advanced environmental infrastructure are Dalian, Yantai, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Haikou, all of which are coastal cities.

    The top five environmentally friendly cities are all from South China and they are Haikou in Hainan Province, Zhuhai and Zhanjiang in Guangdong, Guilin and Beihai in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

    Forest areas grew 0.68 per cent nationwide, faster than in 2002, according to the report.

    The average environmental investment also saw an increase of 0.14 per cent, accounting for 2.43 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product.

    The Administration began to test the environment in cities around the country in 1989. The test touches on fields such as pollution reduction, infrastructure construction and environmental management.

    All together 608 cities, or 91 per cent of the total number of cities in the country, have been tested.

    The top five environmentally friendly cities:

    Haikou, Hainan Province

    Zhuhai, Guangdong Province

    Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province

    Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region

    Beihai, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region

    The top five cities with most effective pollution controls:

    Nantong, Jiangsu Province

    Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province

    Shenyang, Liaoning Province

    Suzhou, Jiangsu Province

    Fuzhou, Fujian Province

    The 10 cities with worst air quality

    Linfen, Shanxi Province

    Yangquan, Shanxi Province

    Datong, Shanxi Province

    Shizuishan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region

    Sanmenxia, Henan Province

    Jinchang, Gansu Province

    Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province

    Xianyang, Shaanxi Province

    Zhuzhou, Hunan Province

    Luoyang, Henan Province
