This only worsened as new industries were created, most notably the chemical and gas industries,   which produced increasingly toxic byproducts.

随着新行业的创建，这种情况只会变得更糟，最引人注目的是化学和天然气行业，它们产生的副产品越来越有毒。

The sustained downward pressure on the economy is quite large, we are currently experiencing inevitable and unavoidable pain in the transformation and upgrading process, especially some chemical industries are experiencing difficulties in operation. We won't avoid these difficulties.

国内深层次结构性矛盾凸显，经济下行压力较大，转型升级过程中必然伴随阵痛，尤其是一些行业的企业生产经营困难。我们不回避困难。

Both the energy business (the exploration and production of oil and gas) and the fuel and feedstock unit (which supplies the chemicals industry) did worse than forecast.

能源业务（石油和天然气的勘探和生产）以及燃料和原料部门（为化学工业供应）的表现均低于预期。
