According to the report, visibility in Beijing went down to 50 meters (166 ft) during the mid-day.
They attribute the outbreak to the combination of excessive residual smoke from firework celebration of Lunar New Year, coupled with fog, and duststorm blowing from Inner Mongolia since this afternoon.
It must be causing a host of respiratory problems.

Maybe Kyoto should deal with real pollution and not CO2. China has got some real pollution...

My wife was in China in Aug 06. She said the smog in Shanghai was considerably worse than the smog in Beijing.

Perhaps without the help of dust storm, Shanghai could be worse.

Sounds like LA 40 years ago, but then they cleaned up.

It's not real smog like we have here in the USA, it's a counterfeit smog made to look just like smog in LA :-)
