In recent years, Tibet has achieved great progress in environmental monitoring. The Tibet Regional Environmental Monitoring Center has been equipped with an urban air automatic monitoring system, atomic absorption analyzer and atomic fluorescence analyzer, and seven prefectural monitoring centers have been provided with regular analyzers.
However, Tibet has always been confronted with the lack of technicians and low technical level. To this end, the China National Environmental Monitoring Center decided to launch the project by sending technicians from other parts of China to Tibet in the next five years.
The first batch of aid-Tibet technicians are from Shanghai, Guangdong and Shandong provinces. They will stay in Tibet from mid May till mid September, providing training for Tibet's environmental monitoring staff in ecological environmental monitoring and evaluation, pollutant source monitoring and urban air automatic monitoring.
In addition, they will also be in charge of figuring out Tibet's environmental quality conditions, locating the pollutant sources and analyzing potential environmental risks.
The project will not only improve Tibet's environmental monitoring capability but also provide referential experience for expanding the projects to remote ethnic minority-inhabited areas like Ningxia and Qinghai provinces, according to a leading official of CNEMC.
