江苏南通6日上午成中国空气质量最差城市|空气质量|江苏|最差_新闻资讯

　　中新网南京12月6日电 (朱晓颖 王琦 黄梅) 雾霾持续。长江三角洲民众戴口罩在灰蒙蒙中出行与忙碌已是第六天。位于江苏中部地区的南通，6日上午居然成为中国空气质量最差的城市。

　　据全国74个城市PM2.5及空气质量指数(AQI)6日上午监测数据，江苏南通的AQI“爆表”达到500，PM2.5高达549，为全国“最差”，当日下午，上海取而代之。

　　南通并非江苏经济“第一梯队”城市，但为江苏近年来经济发展增速最快的城市之一。

　　实际上，从雾霾“灾区表”上，位于中国东部沿海的经济发达地区，也是雾霾“重灾区”。当日，全国空气质量最差的10个城市中，9个处在江浙沪，7个在江苏。

　　一些气象专家认为，天气“变脸”已不单纯是气象因素，也与经济因素紧密相连：冬天由于温度低，气压也低，加上长三角地区独特的气候条件，逆温、静风等不利于污染物扩散的气象条件频现；污染源的来源有原本的工业废气、汽车尾气、工地扬尘，还加入了部分地区的大面积秸秆焚烧，这也使得污染源明显增加。

　　与“脏天”相关联，长三角城市的一些建设工程也暂时停顿。记者在南京街头看到，城区内大部分工地上容易扬尘的基础工程停工，打桩、渣土车运输暂停，工地现场，有洒水车反复洒水、抑尘，地面湿润。

　　连续六日“天地混沌”，不可避免地影响了公众社会生活：交通受阻、医院呼吸道病患增多、学校和幼儿园停课、PM2.5口罩脱销、户外广场舞队解散……市民一下子调整进入“雾都”生活。

　　在南通，城管、交通、建设、公安、港口、气象、环保近10个部门召开紧急会议，启动应急处置方案。在南京，所有中小学、幼儿园继续停课，停课已为第二天。在苏州，空气净化器销量大升。据国美电器苏州分公司的数据显示，近一周的空气净化器销量环比上涨30%，1000元至3000元的空气净化器最受欢迎。

　　目前，长三角各城市的“雾霾预警”仍未解除。(完)
