SHANGHAI - China’s northern regions are facing a sustained period of pollution for at least the next two weeks, the environment ministry warned, with heavy smog threatening to overshadow the country’s National Day celebrations in Beijing in October.
Cities throughout the region have also imposed routine output curbs on steel mills, power plants, coking coal producers and cement factories in the final week of September, triggered by declining air quality. It said it had notified local governments in the cities of Beijing and Tianjin as well as the provinces of Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu, urging them to pay close attention to smog and take action where appropriate to reduce emissions.
