Att Toner Cloners, China Closes More Than 9,000 Polluting Companies.

(Google Translated To English)
TIANJIN, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) – The Tianjin municipality in northern China has closed 9,081 high-polluting companies this year, according to the city's environmental protection office.
The companies are among the nearly 19,000 that, following the inspections carried out in 2017, were found to have violated the rules of environmental protection, land use and construction.
The closed companies are not in a position to improve, while other polluting companies will be modernized to meet environmental standards, according to the office's director, Wen Wurui.
Tianjin on Friday activated the orange alert for serious air pollution and will take emergency measures of Level II on Saturday that will force the companies of the city to reduce by at least 50 percent the most polluting emissions.
China has a four-level color warning system for pollution in which red is the highest, followed by orange, yellow and blue. It also has an equivalent four-level emergency response system, with level I being the most intense and IV being the lowest.
