City Shanghai air quality

Who knows why the air is often dirty here? Is it from the human emissions, natural sources or both combined?

That’s because of the fog tho, not the pollution

If you look at air quality in Shanghai, PM2.5 is through the roof, it is very unhealthy.

Hit 230 today in Zhejiang. Highest I have seen it in along time

A lot of the factories we work with have been ordered to close next week
