Worst yet to come
THE worst smog so far this year will affect parts of north China from tomorrow, according to the National Meteorological Center. It said the air pollution would last until Tuesday and be worse than the spell earlier this month which forced Beijing to issue its highest smog alert for the first time.
Visibility in Beijing and some neighboring regions will be reduced to less than a kilometer during the new bout of smog, and the density of PM 2.5 pollution in some of the regions will exceed 500 micrograms per cubic meter, far in excess of the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum of 25.
