Smog In Beijing 2:18AM—2:50AM

Earlier this week, a thick layer of Smog rolled in China’s capital city, turning skyscrapers into shadows and clear air into a yellow fog. Why does smog keep blanketing Beijing? Smog in China has many causes, including pollution from industries and traffic, but it tends to happen more often in the winter, when plummeting temperatures cause electricity demand to soar, and coal-fired power plants send more tiny particles into the air. Particles smaller than 10 micrometers are of particular concern to health experts, as particles that small can damage the lungs, aggravate the asthma and even cause heart attacks. China is taking steps to address the issue. The government has restricted driving in an effort to curb air pollution from cars. But it has a long way to go. China is still the world’s largest consumer of coal by far, and plans to continue using the sooty source of power. There is some cause for optimism. Like Beijing, Los Angeles also has a serious smog problem. But strict regulations implemented over the past few decades have helped reduce the amount of smog in Los Angeles, bringing back blue skies. There’s hope that they could return to China too, though residents shouldn't expect to breathe easy any time soon.
