Last week I did a fun one-hour interview on the BON TV network‘s prime time talk show called Easy China.  BON, the “Blue Ocean Network”, is a new cable station currently seen in New York City on Time Warner channel 92, with full broadcast internet streams and soon to be in China via satellite. They are all-China, all the time, in English, and their range of shows and internet broadcasts is already impressive after only half a year of broadcasting.

Our broadcast focused on air pollution in China; so I wanted to guide the BON TV viewers coming to my website with a list of the major pollution articles we were discussing on the show:

• Air Pollution: How Bad Is It, Really? – a good primer
• My Air Quality Journal: 太可怕！ – discusses my ParticleScan results
• Air Pollution in China: New Slideshow – online slideshow with basics
• Air Pollution: What About Indoor Air? – that can be bad as well…
• Pollution: Close Your Windows at Night – yes, overnight is usually worst
• How Good are N95 Masks For Pollution? – really good! Find out why
• Indoor Plants: Natural Air Purifiers – they work wonders

I will link the show’s internet feed once it is online over the weekend. For you Beijingers and China expats, definitely check out their site! Here’s more about them:
