All the information I am showing on this blog are things I know for a while. However, writing it everyday here makes me feel a bit sick, a bit depressed. Pollution is a real problem, and all the facts are concordant. But those are not remote facts, it has a real impact on health, on yours but also on mine. Escaping the issue is not a solution, but knowing the problem and not doing anything is not a solution neither. I would like to get your feeling on the pollution, this pollution that affect us, our friends and our children. Comments

i'm living in Nice, that means in an exceptionnal pure air compared to Beijing. I'm conscious of that. But i'm affraid for the future, when i see people here, supposed to be educated and aware of ecology, not even care about their own living environment, some shops leaving the light on the whole night, taking three showers a day during summer whenever it's not so hot, using their cars alone to do a few meters to buy their magazine. If you're not able to sensibilize people in France who are inclined to be, do you think it is possible in a country in which "environment" is a new concept, in which people think that "if we want to get Chine developped, we need to sacifice e generation"??? do you think it is possible????

Et oui, il me tarde de quitter Pékin avec cet air si pourri qui surcharge nos bronches et celles de mon bébé. Avant de connaître ton blog, j'avais moi aussi fait le caclul que Paris et Pékin n'ont pas la même vision de la santé publique !
La pollution de l'air était un sujet qui n'avait pas été abordé par notre entreprise de partir en expat'... Je ne pensais pas que c'était si terrible ! Reste plus que 15 mois avant le retour définitif, et les vacances d'été en Europe seront un véritable bol d'air, au sens propre comme au figuré !

Je viens juste de découvrir ce blog via Mike. Je trouve cela très intéressant. :)
J'habite dans le Jiangsu, là où à priori il y a les plus fort taux de cancer dus à la pollution... :/

Tous les jours je regarde le site SEPA pour connaitre le taux de pollution des principales villes. Quelque soit le resultat, je peux rien n'y faire, mais je ne peux pas m'empecher de regarder. J'ai la nette impression que tout le monde s'en fout ici (en Chine), et ca m'inquiete beaucoup pour les generations futures. Je crains vraiment le pire...

I've just discovered this blog and find the information valuable. Last week, after several day in the smog I saw how they "minimized" the pollution indice (Good in Beijing = Very Bad in Paris) and run some statistics about SEPA data... it is amazing to see the results. In 2006 only 26 days not polluted in Beijing (i.e. pollution level 1) ! It is something we can feel everyday, making practice of sport more difficult and increasing frequency of colds.
But it is everybody responsibility to make it better, and awareness campaign would be important to make people understand it is better to take subway instead of taxi or own vehicle, limit use of air conditioner...

Air pollution in Beijing is really an experience : I couldn't imagine how bad it could get before living here. It's the MAIN problem of this otherwise fascinating city. And it's not just about outdoor air pollution : walls, furniture, food, everything seems polluted! Help! Aaargh!
