【新唐人2011年12月7日訊】這幾天北京出現嚴重大霧的天氣，能見度低到不足200尺，造成班機嚴重延誤，另外，有好幾條高速公路也被迫封閉，甚至連北京的空氣品質都被測出「有毒害」。
北京氣象臺又再度發佈大霧特報，很多地方能見度不足50公尺，部分高速公路封閉，連機場都因為大霧影響，延誤取消的航班多達390班。
根據北京市環保監測中心提供的信息，3號中午到4號中午，北京市空氣污染指數為80，空氣品質為良。從4號中午到5號中午，空氣污染指數為193，空氣品質屬於輕度污染，但污染物濃度相比4號下午和夜間有所下降。
然而，美國駐北京大使館公布最新PM2.5空氣污染指數，結果顯示PM2.5濃度達522，顯示空氣污染超出最高污染指數500，超過可忍受指數（Beyond Index），屬於「糟糕透頂」級（Crazy bad）。
空氣品質指數(AQI) 150-200為「不健康」﹔200-300為「極不健康」﹔300-500為「有毒害」。
不少大陸網友表示，北京的空氣污染「再度爆表」，北京市民野靖春無奈表示，北京的空氣越來越糟。
北京市民野靖春：「北京空氣不好啊，灰濛濛的市裡邊五環以裡，基本上看不到甚麼藍天，在北京住了五十年了，小時候在外邊數星星，現在根本看不見星星，現在在這裡生存，我也不能離開這個地方，就聽天由命吧！所以只能這樣。」
北京空氣質量差，民眾生活在灰色天空下也只能聽天由命，另外一位北京市民對此也表示無奈。
北京市民周中：「我感覺比30年前差很多，因為那個時候年輕，我今年48歲，我小的時候空氣很清新，現在就是很混濁，污濁吧，質量很差，平時（天空）都是灰的，今天又是大霧瀰漫，經常是這樣，因為我們都習慣了，都成了吸塵器，無所謂了。」
《央視》記者芮成鋼也在他的微博上寫著，今天北京的空氣怎麼了？一進樓道還以為是哪裏著火了，走到地下室也是這個味道，一出門才知道到處如此，嗓子開始痛。
北京的空氣無法給民眾一個健康的生活環境，民眾只能自保。盡量減少外出，即使出門也盡量戴口罩。
據報導，淘寶商城一家商戶僅12月4號就賣出3萬多個口罩，比前兩週平均銷售量翻了3倍，其中有兩萬多個是被北京地區用戶買走。
天氣寒冷加上嚴重的空氣污染，專家說，霧霾天氣中吸附了大量的塵埃、污染物和細菌，對人體呼吸道有害。
呼吸科專家王蕾：「在這種霧霾天氣，除了水氣之外，還含有一些粉塵、二氧化硫或者是氮硫化物這些成分，像這些如果吸入身體就會對身體有害，尤其是對呼吸系統的傷害會比較大。」
有媒體說，為了躲避地溝油，我們可以在家吃飯﹔為了喝口乾淨水，我們可以購買各種淨水器﹔為了不攝入三聚氰胺，我們不喝牛奶﹔但這年頭，喝西北風，也可能會中毒。

Heavy Fog Surrounds Beijing, Causing Unrest Among Residents
Recently, severe fog conditions appeared in Beijing, with visibility less than 200 feet, causing severe flight delays. In addition, many expressways have been shut down. The air quality was tested and found to be “toxic”.
Severe fog conditions were again reported in Beijing with visibility less than 50m. Some highways were closed down and more than 390 flights were canceled.
According to information from Beijing City Environmental Monitoring Center, the Beijing air pollution index was 80 around 3-4pm, which is considered good. From 4-5pm, the pollution index was 193, which means a low level of pollution. pollution levels went down past 4pm.
However, the PM2.5 air pollution index published by the U.S. embassy shows the PM2.5 density reached 522, exceeding the maximum tolerable value of 500. The air pollution is beyond index, or terrible.
In air quality index (AGI) measurements, 150-200 means “unhealthy”; 200-300 means “very unhealthy”; 300-500 means “toxic”.
Many mainland netizens expressed that the Beijing air pollution again “busted the scope.” Resident Ye Jingchun expressed that the air in Beijing is getting worse.
Ye Jingchun, “Air is Beijing is bad, inside the city the blue sky is not visible. (I) lived in Beijing for 50 years and used to count stars when I was young, now you can’t see stars anymore. Living here, I can’t even leave this place, can only follow my fate! That’s all I can do.”
Living under a gray sky, residents can only accept the reality. Another Beijing resident also expressed helplessness.
Beijing resident Zhou Zhong, “I feel it’s much worse than 30 years ago, I was young then, now I’m 48. The air was fresh when I was young, now it’s cloudy, dirty.
Normally (sky) is gray, today it was very foggy, it’s frequently like this.
Because we are used to it, our lungs just like a vacuum cleaner, nothing we could do…”
CCTV reporter Rui Chenggang wrote on his micro-blog, “what’s with the air in Beijing today? In the hallway, I thought something was burning, the basement has the same smell. After going outside, I realized everywhere was like this,
my throat is starting to hurt.”
Unable to change the air quality, residents can only try to protect themselves.
Try to stay indoors and wear masks when going outside.
According to a report, a seller on the online shopping site Taobao, sold 30,000 masks on Dec 4, a twofold increase over a two week average. More than 20,000 were bought by Beijing residents.
Experts warn that cold weather combined with severe air pollution can cause absorption of dust, pollutants and bacteria harmful to the human respiratory tract.
Respiratory Expert Wang Lei, “During such foggy weather, in addition to water vapor, there is dust, sulfur dioxide, and other sulfur chemicals (in the air), they are harmful if inhaled, especially for the respiratory system.”
The media said to avoid eating waste oil, we can eat at home; to drink clean water, we can buy a water purifier; to avoid melamine, we don’t drink milk;
now even breathing might get you poisoned.
