I think Beijing uses a different measure. And I've heard SP's measure understates things a bit. But really one only needs to look outside to know its bad, really bad. What difference is 150 vs 250 vs 350?? Still can't breathe. Time for a short holiday out of here.

I don't think the rating has anything to do with this, it's what is actually in the air that is making it hard to breath. I've been in China at much higher levels with no problem breathing at all, as they weren't burning down forests.

Here is US Embassy feed for Beijing, it's reporting in AQI:

Singapore AQI:

The Beijing numbers on the Singapore page are the same scale, but as reported by the Chinese government. So false.

Such delicate Ang Mohs

Says you you'd probably drop your pants and bend over if offered a visa to Sweden or something (and that lifestyle and air quality).

Oh aye!

And the whole time from reach around until he was on the ground in Sweden he'd be posting about how much more he could get for his $(or rupee) in Bangalore

How a bottle of vodka from a corner/bottle-shop doesn't cost US$150 in India...


p.s. Yes, that's what state controlled/prohibition does in Scandinavia. You only get to buy it 5.5 days a week, and then when you can add $100 in taxes on the front.

Given that it seems to increase as the day goes on we must be on course for a new record. Last night's 321 was the highest recorded to date.

We are all part of history

Being serious for a moment, my eyes are stinging- do I have to close the windows? - I've never experienced pollution like this.

God save us!

JR8, close windows and turn on the air-conditioning. This is the least you can do to save your lungs (and eyes).
