Checks on all kinds of pollution sources will start soon.

Supervision of units using dangerous chemicals or radioactive materials will be strengthened.

Enterprises which are located in communities, along rivers or at water sources will be the main targets of the checks.

The SEPA also urged local governments and enterprises to aim for production safety and cut down environmental pollution.

"Local governments should work out plans to deal with emergencies," Wang said.

"And local environmental protection bureaus need to increase their ability and improve their equipment to supervise and handle pollution."
