Despite earlier measures, the air pollution in Beijing remains bad.
That why the Chinese government unveiled additional emergency plans to clean up the air, including taking more cars off the roads and closing down 105 more electric, furniture, building material and chemical plants in Beijing. And halting all construction work.
The neighboring towns of Tianjin, Zhangjiakou, Chengde, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Langfang, and Tangshan will close 56 additional factories including coal-fueled power plants, building materials, and chemical factories.
