Hi!
I was a bit worried and contacted my nephew who works in Beijing.To see how things are.
His girlfriend had got pneumonia and he had chest pain and coughing. This week they had values ??above
700 pm on a scale that measures to 500?? USA's environment ministry did not think it could be more polluted than that, (WHO has recomended not to exceed 25 PM 2,5).
In Stockholm Sweden (and Scandinavia's larges city), we are concerned when the values ??
sometimes is 40-50 PM usually depending on the studded tires tearing up the road dust in the spring before everyone has switched to summer tires.
My nephew told me that a few years ago the goverment had closed the cycle paths in order to promote the domestic automotive industry, today we see the result. Beijing residents have been living Hoover.
He also told me that it was a factory that burned for three hours, before anyone reacted to the smoke, it was so much smog that no one understood what was going on.
China can measure welfare by measuring the consumption of respiratory protection from 3M.
-Maybe we should not buy shares in Lithium companies it might be better in 3M. ;(
Today was the smog away and it was a nice day in Beijing, air pollution was only on 110 PM, and everyone was happy ???!!!!
Best Regard
but still very worried.
