There’s big news on the air pollution front; the Chinese government has just started a nationwide network of air pollution monitors which update hourly and are freely available on their new website. Another blog, livefrombeijing, is covering more specifics of this great news. You can access the new pollution website here, but be warned, it runs only after you download a Microsoft plugin, and I’m still having massive troubles viewing it, even on multiple browsers. For now, I will still be using the US Embassy’s feed. This feed is also always available here on my website, on the lower right side.

Still, this is a major, positive step for full-access pollution reporting for all of China!
