【新唐人2013年01月16日訊】過去幾天，大陸中部和東部大部分地區持續遭遇嚴重霧霾，北京空氣污染程度已經連續好幾天嚴重超標。北京方面也坦言，這波污染情況，確實罕見。由於霧霾中的有毒化學物質，北京市環境監測中心在兩天內發出兩次警告，建議民眾盡量避免外出。大霧瀰漫的北京城猶如海市蜃樓，英國媒體報導，「有毒煙霧吞沒了北京」，報導說，北京空氣污染比糟糕透頂更糟。
雖然北京市環保局在2012年的最後一天發表文章說，北京市的空氣品質實現了繼1998年以來14年的持續改善，大氣污染防治工作力度空前、成效顯著。
可是，不到10天的時間，北京卻漫天霧霾，天空被染成黃色，PM2.5（細懸浮微粒）濃度值超過每立方公尺900微克。
根據世界衛生組織的標準，每立方米的PM2.5指數小於10微克為安全值，數值愈高，空氣污染愈嚴重。
市環保局環保監測中心主任張大偉表示，這次污染過程具有「影響範圍廣」，「持續時間長」，「濃度水準高」三個顯著的特點。他表示，從歷史上看，這次污染過程是近年來比較罕見的。
環保部工作人員：「我這邊是環保部，這一段北京的氣象條件比較差，不利於擴散。還有一些原來污染的企業又開始生產，還加上機動車的排放。機動車現在增加越來越多，車輛的排放，幾個因素合在一起，造成北京最近霧霾天氣比較嚴重。」
北京空氣污染不斷爆表，生活在如此有毒的空氣中，北京的民眾開始吶喊哭泣了。網友翻唱：「大霧版《北京北京》」，視頻歌曲在網上火爆瘋傳。
「大霧瀰漫在這裡的每一條街道，空氣污染指數竟然不斷爆表，除了仙境般的樓閣把你我圍繞，我依稀看到了滿街滿眼的口罩。」——大霧版《北京北京》視頻
網民無奈的唱出，北京北京，能見度說來也就二百多米。
「……就像開發商到監管的距離，人們在大霧中相互質問和思考，探討如何解決環境污染的問題。」–大霧版《北京北京》視頻
網友指控中共當局只顧眼前利益，老百姓明明生活在水深火熱之中，卻還要標榜幸福。
「誰在標榜幸福，偏又疏於治理，誰在霧裡唱歌，提醒人們警惕。」——大霧版《北京北京》視頻
對比目前的天氣，大陸民眾不禁開始懷念「2008年北京奧運」期間的空氣品質了。
北京環保投訴中心工作人員：「因為奧運期間，比如像單雙號行駛，可能也會造成一定的改善，這都有多重因素，我們這邊也在積極的做工作，各方面都採取了各種措施，包括淘汰一些舊的機動車的一些輔助的政策。」
中共當局2008年當時為了爭取奧運主辦權，採取各種強硬措施，甚至被外界懷疑空氣質量造假。實際上，從現在這樣嚴重的污染程度來看，當時的北京空氣確實猶如曇花一現。市環保局新聞發言人方力也表示，現在對2008年奧運期間和殘奧會期間的空氣品質記憶猶新。
另外，《星島日報》15號號也引述一份報告指出，世界上污染最嚴重的10個城市之中，有7個位於中國大陸；而大陸500個大型城市中，達到世界衛生組織空氣品質標準的還不到1%。換句話說，大陸99%城市的空氣品質未達標準。

Severe Air Pollution Once Again Grips Beijing
In the last few days, China’s central and eastern areas
have suffered continuous severe pollution weather.
Beijing’s air quality levels have gone off the charts.
The city’s official responsible for monitoring the
environment admitted that it’s a rare weather event.
The environment monitoring centre issued two alerts
in two days, warning people to avoid outdoor activity.
The foggy images of Beijing look like a mirage.
UK media reported that heavy smog engulfed Beijing,
and that there is very bad air pollution in the city.
Beijing Environmental Protection authorities
issued an article on the last day of 2012.
It said that, “since 1998, Beijing’s air
quality has made lasting improvements.
Under unprecedented efforts and work, Beijing’s air
pollution prevention has achieved remarkable results.”
However, within 10 days, Beijing
was enveloped in a thick smog.
The sky was yellow, with a PM2.5 level
exceeding 900 micrograms per cubic meter.
The World Health Organization considers a safe PM2.5
density as less than 10 micrograms per cubic meter.
The higher the figure, the more serious the air pollution.
Zhang Dawei, Director of Beijing Environment Monitoring
Center, spoke of three features of the Beijing smog.
That it is “wide-ranging, long-lasting, and high-density”.
Zhang said that historically, the recent smog is rare.
Staff of China’s Environmental Protection Ministry:
“This is the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
Beijing’s climate has been quite poor for quite a while.
Some polluting companies have re-started their
production, in addition to motor vehicle emissions.
The city’s number of vehicles has greatly
increased, which creates more pollution.
These factors combined together, leading
to the recent severe haze in Beijing.”
The Beijing air quality index keeps hitting record highs.
Breathing pollutants daily, Beijing’s
citizens couldn’t help but crying out.
There is a widely circulated online song, called
“Beijing, Beijing, Blanketed in Dense Smog”.
“A heavy smog filled every street here in Beijing,
air quality index keeps hitting record highs.
Buildings rose up around us like fairyland pavilions,
faintly visible are masks all over here and there.”
In Beijing, visibility has been reduced
to only around 200 meters.
“Visibility has dropped to only around 200 meters,
just like the distance between property
developers and supervisory officers.
People question and ponder in heavy haze,
exploring how to settle the issue of air pollution.”
Netizens criticized that the CCP authorities’
boast of happiness, while ignoring that
ordinary people are living in deep distress.
“Who is boasting of happiness, but
neglecting their duties on governance?
Who is singing amid heavy smog,
reminding people to keep alert?”
Chinese people couldn’t help but miss the air
quality during the 2008 Beijing Olympics period.
Staff of the Beijing Environmental Complaint Center:
“During the Olympics, the city alternated when it allowed
cars on the road, based on license plates being odd or even.
The air pollution is a result of many impacting factors.
We’ve done something to help ease the situation,
such as disabling some old motor vehicles.”
During the Beijing 2008 Olympics, the CCP official data
on air quality was questioned by the international media.
Fang Li, spokesman for Beijing environment authority, said
he could still clearly remember Beijing’s air quality in 2008.
On January 15, the Singtao Daily quoted report data.
It said that seven out of the ten most polluted
cities in the world are located in China.
Less than 1% of 500 large cities in China
meet global standards in air quality.
