BEIJING, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) — The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment said Sunday that China's capital recorded only one day of severe air pollution in 2025, down 98.3 percent from 58 days in 2013.
This indicates that days with high levels of air pollution in the Chinese capital have virtually disappeared, the department said.
Last year, the average concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5), a key indicator of air pollution, in the city reached 27.0 μg per cubic meter, dropping below 30 μg per cubic meter for the first time since monitoring began. This represents a significant breakthrough in the city's efforts to combat air pollution.
Heavy and frequent smog was once a major problem facing the Chinese capital. In 2013, for example, the average annual concentration of PM2.5 in the air reached 89.5 μg/m3.
Air pollution was holding back urban development and negatively impacting the well-being of residents. Against this backdrop, Beijing launched an unprecedented "Battle for Blue Skies" program, the department recalled. -0-
