Q5. The government is about to amend the Air Pollution Control Ordinance and propose to cap emissions of three types of air pollutants, namely sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and respirable suspended particulates, from the two electricity companies. It is also proposed that emissions of carbon dioxide from power plants should also be regulated. Do you support or object this suggestion?
