Beijing smog casts gloom over China's Lunar New Year holiday

BEIJING: Beijing was once again shrouded in smog on Saturday after several days of heavy pollution which has plagued China’s capital during the Chinese New Year holiday.

The PM 2.5 level - which measures pollution - in the city's urban areas reached 239 micrograms per cubic meter, according to state news agency Xinhua. People visit the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China during a day with polluted air, following the outbreak of the coronavirus disease , in Beijing, China on Feb 13, 2021.
