Despite massive efforts to improve Beijing’s pollution problem, the air quality in the capital has not really improved. I bought an air purifier for my apartment and checked an air quality monitoring website before leaving the building. The level of air pollution was so bad that people started criticising the government for not providing them with enough air quality information. Beijingers turned to one reliable source -- an online air quality monitor of the US embassy there. Our leaders haven't come up with any substantial long-term measures to deal with air pollution.
