Beijing hit by sandstorm again
Print Edition
Dust carried to Beijing on Monday by a sandstorm from the north was blown back to the Chinese capital by a southwest wind yesterday, bringing dusty weather to the Chinese capital for the second time in three days.
The Beijing Ecological and Environmental Monitoring Center yesterday reported that the dusty weather caused moderate air pollution with the primary pollutant being hazardous airborne PM10 particles, which will continue until today.
According to the center’s weather report, the main body of the sandstorm moved out of Beijing on Tuesday morning. But by Tuesday afternoon, the wind change brought the dust back.
By 10am yesterday, the average concentration of PM10 in Beijing was 285 micrograms per cubic meter.
China’s national observatory on Tuesday renewed a blue alert for sandstorms in the northern, central and eastern parts of the country.
The warning was downgraded from the yellow alert issued on Monday.
