• Du Shaozhong :
  

  Good afternoon. First I will give you a briefing on the atmosphere monitoring. We have had 100 percent compliance days in August and 9 great single days. Today is expected to be a great one as well.

  I want to brief you on three things. The first is the characteristics of the Pollution Index. First we have had 18 100 percent compliance days including 9 grade-1 days in August -- this is the best we have had over 8 years. The API is better by 8 percentage points than the same time last year and the polltion control has a significant drop from corresponding period last year. Thirdly the pollutants are gathering at a much slower speed in the atmosphere so under stable weather conditions we can have the same level of air quality for several days. This shows that the measures aimed at ensuring good air quality during the Games, especially the temporary contingencies have gone a great way. We are indeed fulfilling in real earnest our pledges. To ensure air quality we have provided evidence to show we are going to fulfill our pledge.
