FIREWORKS were to blame for significant short-term jumps in PM2.5 particles and other major pollutants in the capital's air, the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau said yesterday.
In 16 days of fireworks being set off, the capital experienced eight days of air pollution above national standards, the bureau said.
Beijingers were allowed to set off fireworks within the Fifth Ring Road from lunar New Year's Eve on February 9 to Sunday's Lantern Festival.
