Industrial pollution plagues Beijing
Print Edition
Industrial pollution is the biggest source of the PM2.5 problems which cause Beijing’s smog, the Chinese Academy of Sciences said yesterday.
Secondary inorganic aerosols — sulfates and nitrates — are responsible for 26 percent of Beijing’s PM2.5, followed by industrial production and coal burning at 25 percent and 18 percent. Soil dust accounts for 15 percent. Beijing’s heavily industrialized neighboring provinces add to pollution in the capital.
The report suggests that energy structure improvement and regional cooperation are needed to combat air pollution.
Days of smog over large parts of China have caused traffic jams and school closures earlier this month.
