CITING THE EXAMPLE OF THE NEW POWER STATIONS, HE SAID THAT EMISSIONS FROM THIS SOURCE COULD INCREASE THREE FOLD DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS.
+WITHOUT THE CAREFUL PLANNING THAT HAS GONE INTO THE CONTROL OF THESE UTILITIES, WE COULD HAVE BEEN FACED WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF A DIFFERENT ORDER FROM THOSE WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH TODAY.
TO PROVIDE AN OBJECTIVE BASIS FOR THIS ASSESSMENT WORK AND TO ENSURE THAT ANY NEW MEASURES ARE RELEVANT TO THE CONDITIONS IN HONG KONG, THE EPA HAS MOUNTED A PROGRAMME OF SURVEYS, INVESTIGATIONS AND MONITORING.
+THIS WORK IS CARRIED OUT BY A NEWLY-RECRUITED, MULTI- DISCIPLINARY TEAM OF SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS EQUIPPED WITH THE MOST UP-TO-DATE INSTRUMENTATION, DATA-CAPTURE AND DATA-HANDLING FACILITIES, HE ADDED.
DR REED EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT HE HAD MANAGED TO CONVINCE HIS AUDIENCE THAT THE GOVERNMENT, THROUGH ITS PACKAGE OF LEGISLATION, PLANNING AND MONITORING WORK, WAS PLAYING ITS PART IN PROTECTING HONG KONG'S ENVIRONMENT. HE URGED THOSE PRESENT TO RESPOND BY MAKING THE CONTRIBUTION THAT ONLY EACH INDIVIDUAL COULD MAKE AND TO PERSUADE OTHERS TO DO LIKEWISE.
