Heavy smog plagues most parts of north China
Online Edition
The coming typhoon isn’t the only weather trouble in China. It’s also not a good day to be out in the country’s north.
Air pollution is through the roof, reaching level five - the most severe in the tiered-system - in central and southern Hebei province. While in neighbouring Shanxi Province, pollutant levels are just one notch down. Weather authorities have issued a yellow warning for the heavy smog, as it also plagues other parts like Beijing, Tianjin and Henan.
This year, the thick and hazardous smog has affected 17 provinces and municipalities. Facing this lingering crisis, China plans to build a nation-wide network within three to five years to monitor the impact of air pollution on health.
