The Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau has moved up the deadline for a series of anti-pollution goals from the end of the year to September.

According to the bureau, Shanghai will eliminate the remaining 1,939 coal-consuming boilers and furnaces in the city by the deadline. All yellow-label, heavily polluting vehicles will be taken off the roads before the end of September, it added.

With the introduction of the new environmental protection law this year, the bureau reported a total of 881 violations in the first five months, up 45 percent compared to last year. The bureau added it had collected total fines of 50.15 million yuan (US$8.08 million) in the period. A little more than 100 million yuan in fines had been collected for all of 2014.
