China has established a network to monitor PM 2.5 levels nationwide, in a move meant to hasten the reduction of the country's air pollution and cut down on fraudulent data.

中国已经在全国范围内建立了一个PM2.5监测网络，此举是为了加快减轻空气污染和减少欺诈性数据。

The network includes manual sampling stations and laser radar¹ stations.

该监测网络包括人工采样站和激光雷达站。

Analysts² can even monitor the movement of air pollutants³ via airborne platforms, Chen Jining, head of the Ministry⁴ of Environmental Protection, told Science and Technology Daily.

环保部部长陈吉宁在接受《科技日报》采访时表示，分析人士甚至可以通过空中平台监测空气污染物的移动。

"We've established a monitoring network to keep track of particles. The network consists of satellite sensing and ground base sensing; the first method supervises the overall process and the second monitors the transportation⁵ of pollutants," said Li Qian, a scholar from Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center.

北京市环境监测中心学者李谦表示：“我们已经建立起了一个监测网络来追踪微小粒子。该系统由卫星遥感和地面遥感系统组成；第一种方法监测整个过程，第二种方法监测污染物的输送。”

The implementation⁶ of satellite remote sensing technologies can also put an end to data fraud, experts say.

专家们表示，使用卫星遥感技术也可以终结数据欺诈。

In October 2016, several environmental protection officials in Xian, Shaanxi province tampered⁷ with air quality monitoring equipment to create falsified data, resulting in a scandal that triggered public concern over the authenticity⁸ of such data.

2016年10月，陕西省西安市一名环保官员篡改了空气质量监测设备来伪造数据，引发了一场丑闻，引起了公众对这类数据真实性的关注。

The optimization⁹ of China's 1,436 air quality monitoring sites will be put on the agenda during China's 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), while 16 new air monitoring background stations and 96 regional stations will be established to tackle air pollution, Science and Technology Daily reported.

据《科技日报》报道，“十三五（2016-2020）”期间对中国1436个空气质量监测点的优化将会被提上日程，还将建立16个新的空气监测背景站、以及96个区域站点来应对空气污染。
