It plays an important role in the control of air pollution and protection of air quality. In 1982, China made its first atmospheric environment quality standard, and then In 1996, the Ambient air quality standard was revised for the first time, in 2000, the Ambient air quality standard was revised for the second amendment, Although revised twice, it changed little, the update of the standard got into a stagnant stage, yet major changes have happened after a micro-blog posted by Pan Shiyi in October 22,2011, PM2.5 came into the public consciousness.
