State Councilor Wang Yong, who led a group of government officials at the inquiry, admitted that that problems remain, despite progress.
The State Council will coordinate control of all forms of pollution, he said.
The government will tighten environmental monitoring and work to reduce the quantity of solid waste and improve the degree of recycling and treatment, he said.
During panel discussions on Thursday morning, lawmakers stressed the problems of hazardous waste, among the most urgent problems in waste control, said Luo Liangquan, member of the NPC Standing Committee.
More than half of hazardous waste is being disposed of by producers, most of which is unsupervised, according to Wednesday's report.
On the other hand, more than 40 percent of hazardous waste disposal capacity remains unused, the report added.
"Hazardous waste is a time bomb that may go off at any time if not controlled properly," said He Yehua, another committee member.
Luo warned that some local governments do not have accurate information about how much hazardous waste is produced within their jurisdiction or how it is being disposed of, which impedes the controls. In addition, a hazardous waste classification system has yet to be established.
Luo called for more standardized, clearer identification and classification of hazardous waste and tighter supervision on hazardous waste disposal.
