China is also a world leader in dirty air:
Air quality in Beijing reached “hazardous” levels on Monday, according to the US embassy, which conducts its own measurements, while the official Xinhua news agency said pollution was likely to reach “dangerous” levels.
By the middle of Monday afternoon, Beijing’s main airport — the second busiest in the world by passenger traffic — had cancelled 233 domestic and 17 international flights, according to its website. Another 400 flights were cancelled on Sunday.
