The environmental campaign "Clean Air" will take place in June in the Vitebsk region
The environmental campaign "Clean Air" will be held in June in the Vitebsk region, a BELTA correspondent was informed by the Vitebsk Regional Committee for Natural Resources and Environmental Protection.
The campaign starts on June 1 and is aimed at reducing the harmful impact of vehicles on the atmospheric air. In each district of the region, as well as in Vitebsk, Polotsk, Novopolotsk, and Orsha, state control will be carried out to ensure compliance with the laws "On Environmental Protection" and "On Atmospheric Air Protection." For this purpose, joint work plans have been developed with territorial units of the State Automobile Inspectorate to inspect vehicles of motor transport enterprises, service stations, and citizens' vehicles. Raid groups will check compliance with the norms and requirements of state standards for toxicity and smoke of exhaust gases by private car owners, the availability of control and adjustment points in motor transport organizations and service stations, and their equipment with toxicity and smoke control devices. Special attention will be paid to the correct use of devices and methods for diagnosing vehicles released to the line, and the implementation by motor transport enterprises of measures to reduce air pollution from transport emissions.
The holding of this environmental campaign makes a real contribution to reducing the volume of pollutant emissions from vehicles that have a negative impact on public health and the environment, the committee emphasized.
