[quote=GUEST71234,495044]Having moved to Suzhou myself 6 months ago I had the same concern about air pollution. Don't know about English websites but if you have a smartphone you can download some apps in English. They are called China Air Quality Index and Air Quality China. Basically they both show the quasi-live measurements of a lot of cities / measuring stations. I like the later one more because it has a handy widget. Don't know about iOS since these are android apps.

Having said that, it is actually quite depressing to monitor this. For instance the entire last week the level was either "unhealthy" or "very unhealthy" and in January/February is often was "Hazardous" or even off the scale.

Have to agree with previous comments about the safety issues. General safety level is very high since the police is ever present and vigilant. Big exceptions are the traffic and food safety. Drinking water is also not chemically treated so boiling it won't hurt but since this is not tropical area the risk is manageable.[/quote]
