2017年9月10日，国务院办公厅发布了《第二次全国污染源普查方案》（以下简称《方案》）。该《方案》以“摸清各类污染源基本情况，了解污染源数量、结构和分布状况，掌握国家、区域、流域、行业污染物产生、排放和处理情况，建立健全重点污染源档案、污染源信息数据库和环境统计平台，为加强污染源监管、改善环境质量、防控环境风险、服务环境与发展综合决策提供依据” 为工作目标，向全国范围内的有污染源的单位和个体经营户进行普查。

绿会积极响应国务院号召，并通过绿会自有的志愿者网络体系配合该《方案》的普查工作实施。日前，绿会工作人员从NGO角度就第二次污染普查可能存在的盲点、难点，以及本次普查的必要性和意义出发，接受《中国日报》记者采访。

绿会工作人员表示，通过我们过去3年在生态环境保护领域的工作和环境公益诉讼的实践，包括我们绿会的志愿者发现现在的污染形式越来越多样化，也越来越隐蔽、分散，有些甚至是非常严重的污染源，比如在沙漠里，在人迹罕至的地方，或者通过暗管、打井等方式偷排，还有些临时性、随机性的污染排放，另外还有在企业园区内挖、设的一些浅表的、内部的污染排放点，比如一些养猪场的污染源等，也些都是现实较为普遍存在的污染情况，往往也是普查的难点和盲区。

谈及与第一次全国污染普查间隔十年的第二次普查的必要性和重要意义。绿会工作人员表示，随着十九大召开、十四五布局，生态文明建设和美丽中国被写入宪法，在这种新时代对生态环境保护的大背景、大环境下，还有人民群众对美好生活环境的向往、对良好生态环境的要求不断提高，以及当前环境承载力的不断消耗，环境治理的迫切性和压力也不断加大，都需要通过这样一次全国性的污染源的普查，来摸清情况，了解现状，为接下来我们国家的绿水青山建设、科学发展规划提供新的数据支撑。同时，新的环保法已实施3年多，普查也需要对应新时代环境保护需要、对标新的法律标准和要求来进行。加之我国推进社会治理中心下移，社会组织和公 众将越来越多的参与到生态环境治理与保护中来，在第二次普查过程中，绿会也希望能够更广泛吸纳环保NGO（非政府组织）、志愿者、企业内部人士、特别是应该广泛动员人民群众来共同参与，发挥力量。

根据以上采访内容，《中国日报》汇总为一篇题为《Ministry to ensure pollution census done properly》的英文报道，结合保护绿会在内的环保NGO的视角，在国际平台上宣传介绍中国政府在治理污染源问题上的积极行动。

英文全文分享如下：

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment will carry out regular inspections to ensure the second national census on sources of pollution, which is due to wrap up by the end of the year, is carried out properly.

WeChat groups will be created both on the national and provincial levels to facilitate work, it said. Pilot surveys should be concluded by the end of June, and the formal census will be conducted from August to November. Results will be released in 2019.

The census aims to map out the country's sources of pollution, and is essential to economic and environmental policy-making, the central government said previously.

About 9 million pollution sources around the country are expected to be surveyed. The last major survey was done 10 years ago.

According to the reshuffled Ministry of Ecology and Environment, its budget rose by more than 70 percent over its predecessor in the last year, reaching almost 12.2 billion yuan ($1.9 billion).

The budget for pollution control has more than doubled to 500 million yuan, and more than 70 percent will be used for the latest national census, the ministry said.

Discovering sources of pollution is getting increasingly challenging as the crackdown on pollution has intensified in the last few years, and that could influence the census, said Wang Jing, who works with China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, a Chinese NGO devoted to environmental protection.

"During the past three years, we found that some factories dumped industrial waste in remote areas like deserts, or in places like pig farms, which makes it hard to spot. However it still has huge ecological consequences," she said.

Ma Jun, director of the Institute for Public and Environmental Affairs, said the census is crucial as some businesses still lack credibility when it comes to pollution. "Local governments should fully realize its importance and cooperate to get a full picture of the country's pollution sources," he said.
