For moderate pollution sources such as chemical industries, rubber and electroplating industries, the distance should be more than 3.7km.
For light pollution sources such as food factories and leather processing factories, the distance should be more than 2km. If unavoidable, the site should be chosen in the perennial upwind direction of the pollution source.
Please do not set your location within 3.7km from the seaside or the salt lake. If unavoidable, it should be built as airtight as possible, equipped with air conditioning for cooling.
3. Electromagnetic Environmental Conditions:
Please keep your site away from transformers, high-voltage cables, transmission lines and high-current equipment, for example, there should be no high-power AC transformers (>10KA) within 20 meters, and no high-voltage power lines within 50 meters.
Please keep your site away from high-power radio transmitters, for example, there should be no high-power radio transmitters (>1500W) within 100 meters.
