On the way to school, I played a guessing game with my children: How serious is air pollution today?
The app we use links to air pollution monitoring in the United StatesS.
We are trying to guess the exact level of the air quality index for the day and whether the air is dangerous.
This is probably the case these days.
In the past 60 days, more than half of the time, air pollution has reached the level of harm to human health.
Experts estimate
Exposure to such pollution for a long time may shorten life expectancy by five years.
But I didn\'t tell the kids that.
Living in the contaminated area, the daily measurement data determines how my family spends every day.
Whenever the level reaches \"very unhealthy\", we leave the children indoors, and we refuse to let them participate in outdoor activities no matter how many complaints will follow.
When to wear a pollution mask, when to stay indoors, it becomes a vital knowledge, even our 4-year-old.
Differences in measurement in the United StatesS.
Air pollution monitoring has become the center of Beijing\'s air quality debate because it measures fine particulate matter, so unlike the readings from official Chinese statistics, official Chinese statistics only measure large particulate matter.
According to the leaked telegram, in 2009, Chinese officials said that the readings of air monitors had created \"chaotic\" and bad \"social consequences\" among the Chinese public \", it also asked the embassy to consider restricting access to the data to American citizens.
This hasn\'t happened yet, but the presence of these different readings has put pressure on the government to reform its air pollution report, an action the government has promised to take in 2016.
Last Sunday was a good example of the serious air pollution in the United States. S.
The embassy\'s air monitoring scale reached the level of \"beyond the index.
By contrast, air pollution is \"light\", according to the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau \".
\"In the past few days, serious pollution has led to hundreds of cancellations and road closures.
While Chinese officials blame climate conditions for what they call \"Fog,\" the green group says the real reason is the aftermath of China\'s 30-year high growth --
Coal emissions-
China\'s Twitter equivalent is filled with sarcastic comments about air quality.
The Beijing government is advised to wear masks for everyone. . .
\"To stimulate domestic consumption,\" a user tweeted.
\"In China today, clean air, clean water, safe food, good heart and truth are all luxury items,\" another tweet wrote . \".
Considering the time my kids are spending indoors now, I decided to find an expert to check the air in my apartment.
It turned out to be a decision that completely ruined my inner peace.
Chris Barkley sadly admitted after measuring the indoor pollution of our apartment: \"We did a lot . \".
British expats run a company that imports air purifiers.
I \'ve been looking forward to the worst, but the reading is more shocking than I thought at the worst.
In the living room, children use sofa cushions to build caves, air pollution-

The level of pollution in my living room will be \"very unhealthy\" and almost \"dangerous \".
Barkley said: \"I think I\'m the only one who wakes up when the air is polluted and looks at the sky and thinks, \'Well, OK, it\'s not bad, \'\" he said his business is booming
\"Everything has been good for the past year, especially when air pollution has been around for the past 12 months.
We did a good job.

Abberstein, along with colleagues from Columbia University, the Brookings Institution, Peking University and Tsinghua University, studied life expectancy north and south of the Huaihe River in China.
This is important because the government provides heating. mainly coal-powered —
North of the river, but not South.
As a result, the air pollution to the north of the river is much more serious.
The researchers used air quality readings from 91 cities in China from 1981 to 2000, and health data from China\'s disease monitoring system from 1991 to 2000.
For cities north of the more polluted Huaihe River, they found lower birth rates and higher adult mortality in the respiratory system.
Related diseases such as heart disease and lung cancer.
When asked how relevant his findings are now, he said, \"The answer is that we don\'t know.
On the one hand, the current air pollution is not as serious as before, and these people have lost five years.
\"But due to the improvement of living standards in China, your chances of suffering from other diseases will be smaller and smaller,\" abberstein said, \"If you are now exposed to air pollution, as a relative share of health costs, this may still be a very large factor.
This can have a big impact on life expectancy.
\"Alternative to the country
China Daily acknowledged this week that smog was a \"serious hazard\", citing a health official as saying that the incidence of lung cancer in Beijing has risen by 60% in the past decade, the smoking rate did not increase, though.
For those of us who live here, it is almost impossible to protect our children from the air they breathe.
Our main strategy for a long time is to deny it, but it is no longer an option.
It is clear that there is a health cost to live in such pollution.
The direct cost of doing this story is nearly $3,000 for the new air purifier.
For most Beijing residents, this is an unreachable option.
