The decision was made at a conference chaired by vice premier Zeng Peiyan.

"In recent years, China’s rapid economic growth has given rise to more pollution discharge, while the existing data has been insufficient for environmental surveillance," said Zeng.

The survey, scheduled to begin in 2008, aims to find the number of polluters in the country and their geographical distribution.
