Explanatory Notes on Main Statistical Indicators
Average Temperature Temperature refers to the air
temperature.
Relative Humidity refers to the ratio of actual water
vapour pressure to the saturation water vapour pressure under the current
temperature. The calculation method is the same as that of temperature .
Volume of Precipitation refers to the deepness of liquid state
or solid state (thawed) water falling from the sky to the ground that has not
been evaporated, infiltrated or run off. The calculation method is as follows:
Monthly precipitation is the summation of daily precipitation of a month.
Annual precipitation is the summation of 12 months precipitation of a
year.
Sunshine Hours refers to the actual hours of sun
irradiating the earth. The calculation method is the same as that of the
precipitation.
Forest Area refers to the area of trees and bamboo
grow with canopy density above 0.2, the area of shrubby tree according to
regulations of the government, the area of forest land inside farm land and the
area of trees planted by the side of villages, farm houses and along roads and
rivers.
Total Standing Stock Volume refers to the total stock volume of
trees growing in land, including trees in forest, trees in sparse forest, scattered
trees and trees planted by the side of villages, farm houses and along roads
and rivers.
Stock Volume of Forest refers to total stock volume of wood
growing in forest area, which shows the total size and level of forest
resources of a country or a region.
Manual Planting refers to technical measures of sowing,
planting seedlings and divided transplanting on land suitable for
afforestation, including barren hills, idle land, sand dunes, non-timber forest
land, woodland and ��grain for green�� land to increase vegetation coverage rate
of forests.
Mineral Resources refer to useful minerals, with solid
state, liquid state, gaseity, due to the geological process. Minerals are
important natural resources, and important material base for social
development.
Ensured Mineral Reserves refer to the actual mineral reserves,
which equal to the proven mineral reserves (including industrial reserves and
prospective reserves) minus extracted parts and underground losses.
Common Industrial Solid
Wastes Produced refers to the
industrial solid wastes that are not listed in the ��National
Catalogue of Hazardous Wastes��, or not regarded as
hazardous according to the national hazardous waste identification standards
(GB5085), solid waste-Extraction procedure for leaching toxicity (GB5086) and
solid waste-Extraction procedure for leaching toxicity (GB/T 15555). The
calculation formula is as followed:
Common Industrial Solid Wastes Produced = (common industrial solid wastes
utilized �C the proportion of utilized stock of previous years) + common
industrial solid waste stock + (common industrial solid wastes disposed �C the
proportion of disposed stock of previous years) + common industrial solid
wastes discharged.
Common Industrial Solid
Wastes Comprehensively Utilized refers to
volume of solid wastes from which useful materials can be extracted or which
can be converted into usable resources, energy or other materials by means of
reclamation, processing, recycling and exchange (including utilizing in the
year the stocks of industrial solid wastes of the previous year) during the
report period, e.g. being used as agricultural fertilizers, building materials
or as material for paving road. Examples of such utilizations include
fertilizers, building materials and road materials. The information shall be
collected by the producing units of the wastes.
Common Industrial Solid
Wastes Disposed refers to the
quantity of industrial solid wastes which are burnt or specially disposed using
other methods to alter the physical, chemical and biological properties and
thus to reduce or eliminate the hazard, or placed ultimately in the sites
meeting the requirements for environmental protection during the report period.
Stock of Common Industrial
Solid Wastes refers to the
volume of solid wastes placed in special facilities or special sites by
enterprises for purposes of utilization or disposal during the report period.
The sites or facilities should take measures against dispersion, loss, seepage,
and air and water contamination.
Common Industrial Solid
Wastes Discharged refers to the
volume of industrial solid wastes dumped or discharged by producing enterprises
to disposal facilities or to other sites.
Hazardous Wastes Produced refers to the volume of actual hazardous
wastes produced by surveyed samples throughout the year of the survey.
Hazardous waste refers to those included in the national hazardous wastes
catalogue or specified as any one of the following properties in light of the
national hazardous wastes identification standards and methods: explosive,
ignitable, oxidizable, toxic, corrosive or liable to cause infectious diseases
or lead to other dangers. The report of this indicator should follow the ��National
Catalogue of Hazardous Wastes�� (the NO.1 Ministry Order in
2008 by the Ministry of Environment Protection and National Development and
Reform Commission).
Hazardous Wastes Utilized refers to the volume of hazardous wastes
that are used to extract materials for raw materials or fuel throughout the
year of the survey, including those utilized by the producing enterprise and
those provided to other enterprises for utilization.
Hazardous Wastes Disposed refers to the quantity of hazardous
wastes which are burnt or specially disposed using other methods to alter the
physical, chemical and biological properties and thus to reduce or eliminate
the hazard, or placed ultimately in the sites meeting the requirements for
environmental protection during the report period.
Stock of Hazardous Wastes refers to the volume of hazardous wastes
specially packaged and placed in special facilities or special sites by
enterprises. The special stock facilities should meet the requirements set in relevant
environment protection laws and regulations such as ��Pollution Control
Standards for Hazardous Waste Stock�� (GB18597-2001) in regard to package of
hazardous waste, location, design, safety, monitoring and shutdown, and take
measures against dispersion, loss, seepage, and air and water contamination.
