this is interesting. 74 most polluted cities in China 2013 by PM2.5 density compiled by Greenpeace, based on official data from the Ministry for Environmental Protection. - for comparison, worst 10 US cities range average from 18.2 -13.6. Shanghai at a comforting 48 with an average of 60.7... could be worse actually... roughly 3 times as much as the worst US city which is Bakersfield, Calif. (with 18.2) Beijing at a surprising 13. Who would have thought... Number 1 on the list: Xingtai; at an average of 155.2 is almost DOUBLE than Beijing (at 90.1) - imagine living there... :( 7 of 10 of the most polluted cities in Hebei province, which makes clear, where all the crap is coming from... note to self: DO NOT MOVE TO HEBEI or anywhere near... ;) WHO guideline: 10 CN national guideline: 35 (City, province, average annual PM2.5 density, peak PM2.5 reading) 1.
