In Beijing, China, pollution has gotten so bad that you cannot see more than a few hundred feet ahead of you! Smog, or pollution that looks like fog, has filled the air, and many people are heading to the hospital for treatment from the smog. The Chinese government has repeatedly refuted the reports of pollution in China before, but now even the government is recommending that Chinese people stay indoors. Many people are now walking around with masks. It is believed that a reason of the smog is the cold winter, resulting in more people burning fires and causing smog. On a website, there has even been a poll asking if China should have new air quality requirements. One commenter commented that the only people that wouldn't want better air quality requirements are people who are causing the pollution or people who did not breathe.
In many major cities, smog is a big problem, but it has rarely ever gotten to this big of a problem. Los Angeles is one of those major cities. If we do not fix this problem soon, all of us may be walking around with masks!
