People usually check whether their keys, wallets and phones are with them before going out. But many people in China now have one more important thing to take, a face mask. They hope that it can protect them from the polluted air.
Since January, many cities in China have seen a lot of
hazy days. During these days, people can only see things that are very near them. In Beijing, only five days in January were free of smog.
According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, driving cars and burning coal are two major factors for PM2.5, which is the main problem with air pollution. Poor air is bad for people’s health, especially for children and the elderly. Air problems and environmental protection have become a concern for the whole nation.
Our government is taking action to prevent pollution and give people a healthy living environment. It calls on people to make full use of energy and resources and cut down on energy use.
