China has been suffocating in smog again for the past few weeks. There are alarming conditions in many cities, as pollution with PM2.5 particles (these are even smaller and even more dangerous than PM10 particles, which they warn against in our country, as they penetrate even further into the lungs) exceeds the standards by 50 times. Due to the catastrophic pollution, the Chinese authorities ordered the cessation or operating restrictions at hundreds of factories across the country. From Beijing and elsewhere come eerie footage of cities shrouded in thick, gray and smelly fog.
