 | Have fog has attacked many cities in China. The level of AQI (Air Quality Index) in 33 cities has raised to 'heavily polluted'. The PM 2.5 density in Beijing has exceeded 900. You can imagine how serious the pollution is. No.1 Beijing CBD Area.  |

| GUEST24212 | I never knew smog could get this bad. If China starts using more natural gas instead of coal for heating, this extreme smog situation won't be so bad. |

The more cars we have, the more serious the pollution is. |

| Today, I heard from the news that seven cities of China were listed on the top ten most polluted cities in the world. Unfortunately, all news reports didn't tell which were the seven cities. Why can't the medium disclose those seven cities? |

| Much of the pollutions appears to come from coal fired boilers used for central heating in Beijing. The smokestack next to my apartment is belching huge amounts of smoke day and night. Apart from that the constructions sites in Beijing, because it’s been dry, produce huge amounts of dust, and with no wind, it just hangs there. Today, after light snow yesterday we have blue skies.

| Dodger, I learnt a new word from the internet, that is, Beijing Cough. Some foreigners say that they cough when then stay in Beijing. When they come back home, they don't cough. Do you suffer from Beijing cough? |

| Jimmy, when I first saw people wearing face masks I thought they were a little mad. Now I know why. You could have cut the air with a knife a few days back. It was horrible. I have a modest apartment just east of the 5th ring road and on a good day I can see the CCTV tower. But not last week. I couldn’t see the buildings across the road. I’m luck, I don’t suffer from Beijing cough, but I must admit that I didn’t feel very well for a few days last week. I understand that hundreds, if not thousands of people needed hospital help. We’ve had clear blue skies here for the past two days so it may have been a mixture of nature and man made pollution combined. But I’m no expert. Cheers, Dodger. |

"the survival of the fittest". So wear a mask if you have to go out and stop doing exercises if the air pollution is too serious. |
