The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is surrounded by mountains which block diffusion of the haze. The pollution becomes worse during winters. Weather factors—such as high humidity and situations when warmer air aloft holds colder air at the surface—intensify haze formation. In winter, slower air flow and stable atmospheric outer layers—which inhibit smog diffusion—plus the burning of coal for indoor heat result in much more hazy days than in other seasons.]]> 2019-01-10 13:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319220623 gezhi_hui https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319223787 2019-01-10 13:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319223787 gezhi_hui https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319224095 2019-01-10 13:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319224095 gezhi_hui https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319229914 2019-01-10 14:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319229914 gezhi_hui https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319232367 2019-01-10 14:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319232367 gezhi_hui https://padlet.com/gezhi_hui/27blc5yupl6r/wish/319250673 Air pollution is killing 1 million people and costing Chinese economy 267 billion yuan a year, research from CUHK shows. Two pollutants were found to cause an average 1.1 million premature deaths in the country each year and are destroying 20 million tonnes of rice, wheat, maize and soybean
