Abstract
As explicitly expressed in Article 20 of the EP Law (2014), the mechanism of joint pollution prevention and control shall be established for cross-regional environmental pollution and ecological degradation in key regions and watersheds, where the unified planning, standards, monitoring, and measures of pollution prevention and control shall be applied. Joint pollution prevention and control is an effective scheme to greatly improve regional environmental quality through cross-regional cooperation and collaboration (Su & Yu, 2019). Taking air pollution as an example, the working mechanism of joint pollution prevention and control shall be illustrated in the sections.
