From the inspection and monitoring data and local field verification, the overall situation of straw burning in summer in 2015 is significantly better than that in the same period in 2014, but the phenomenon of illegal straw burning still exists in some areas. there is even a substantial increase in the number of straw burning fires compared with the same period last year, and the situation of straw pollution prevention and control is still not optimistic.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection will continue to strengthen the work of satellite remote sensing inspection, monitoring and information release of straw burning in autumn, and strengthen the assessment of the prevention and control of pollution caused by straw burning in combination with the supervision and inspection work of air pollution prevention and control. the people's governments of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) that have a greater impact on the quality of the atmospheric environment that have not decreased but increased in the same period this autumn compared with the same period last year.
