【新唐人2013年01月16日讯】过去几天，大陆中部和东部大部分地区持续遭遇严重雾霾，北京空气污染程度已经连续好几天严重超标。北京方面也坦言，这波污染情况，确实罕见。由于雾霾中的有毒化学物质，北京市环境监测中心在两天内发出两次警告，建议民众尽量避免外出。大雾弥漫的北京城犹如海市蜃楼，英国媒体报导，“有毒烟雾吞没了北京”，报导说，北京空气污染比糟糕透顶更糟。
虽然北京市环保局在2012年的最后一天发表文章说，北京市的空气品质实现了继1998年以来14年的持续改善，大气污染防治工作力度空前、成效显着。
可是，不到10天的时间，北京却漫天雾霾，天空被染成黄色，PM2.5（细悬浮微粒）浓度值超过每立方公尺900微克。
根据世界卫生组织的标准，每立方米的PM2.5指数小于10微克为安全值，数值愈高，空气污染愈严重。
市环保局环保监测中心主任张大伟表示，这次污染过程具有“影响范围广”，“持续时间长”，“浓度水准高”三个显着的特点。他表示，从历史上看，这次污染过程是近年来比较罕见的。
环保部工作人员：“我这边是环保部，这一段北京的气象条件比较差，不利于扩散。还有一些原来污染的企业又开始生产，还加上机动车的排放。机动车现在增加越来越多，车辆的排放，几个因素合在一起，造成北京最近雾霾天气比较严重。”
北京空气污染不断爆表，生活在如此有毒的空气中，北京的民众开始呐喊哭泣了。网友翻唱：“大雾版《北京北京》”，视频歌曲在网上火爆疯传。
“大雾弥漫在这里的每一条街道，空气污染指数竟然不断爆表，除了仙境般的楼阁把你我围绕，我依稀看到了满街满眼的口罩。”——大雾版《北京北京》视频
网民无奈的唱出，北京北京，能见度说来也就二百多米。
“……就像开发商到监管的距离，人们在大雾中相互质问和思考，探讨如何解决环境污染的问题。”–大雾版《北京北京》视频
网友指控中共当局只顾眼前利益，老百姓明明生活在水深火热之中，却还要标榜幸福。
“谁在标榜幸福，偏又疏于治理，谁在雾里唱歌，提醒人们警惕。”——大雾版《北京北京》视频
对比目前的天气，大陆民众不禁开始怀念“2008年北京奥运”期间的空气品质了。
北京环保投诉中心工作人员：“因为奥运期间，比如像单双号行驶，可能也会造成一定的改善，这都有多重因素，我们这边也在积极的做工作，各方面都采取了各种措施，包括淘汰一些旧的机动车的一些辅助的政策。”
中共当局2008年当时为了争取奥运主办权，采取各种强硬措施，甚至被外界怀疑空气质量造假。实际上，从现在这样严重的污染程度来看，当时的北京空气确实犹如昙花一现。市环保局新闻发言人方力也表示，现在对2008年奥运期间和残奥会期间的空气品质记忆犹新。
另外，《星岛日报》15号号也引述一份报告指出，世界上污染最严重的10个城市之中，有7个位于中国大陆；而大陆500个大型城市中，达到世界卫生组织空气品质标准的还不到1%。换句话说，大陆99%城市的空气品质未达标准。

Severe Air Pollution Once Again Grips Beijing
In the last few days, China’s central and eastern areas
have suffered continuous severe pollution weather.
Beijing’s air quality levels have gone off the charts.
The city’s official responsible for monitoring the
environment admitted that it’s a rare weather event.
The environment monitoring centre issued two alerts
in two days, warning people to avoid outdoor activity.
The foggy images of Beijing look like a mirage.
UK media reported that heavy smog engulfed Beijing,
and that there is very bad air pollution in the city.
Beijing Environmental Protection authorities
issued an article on the last day of 2012.
It said that, “since 1998, Beijing’s air
quality has made lasting improvements.
Under unprecedented efforts and work, Beijing’s air
pollution prevention has achieved remarkable results.”
However, within 10 days, Beijing
was enveloped in a thick smog.
The sky was yellow, with a PM2.5 level
exceeding 900 micrograms per cubic meter.
The World Health Organization considers a safe PM2.5
density as less than 10 micrograms per cubic meter.
The higher the figure, the more serious the air pollution.
Zhang Dawei, Director of Beijing Environment Monitoring
Center, spoke of three features of the Beijing smog.
That it is “wide-ranging, long-lasting, and high-density”.
Zhang said that historically, the recent smog is rare.
Staff of China’s Environmental Protection Ministry:
“This is the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
Beijing’s climate has been quite poor for quite a while.
Some polluting companies have re-started their
production, in addition to motor vehicle emissions.
The city’s number of vehicles has greatly
increased, which creates more pollution.
These factors combined together, leading
to the recent severe haze in Beijing.”
The Beijing air quality index keeps hitting record highs.
Breathing pollutants daily, Beijing’s
citizens couldn’t help but crying out.
There is a widely circulated online song, called
“Beijing, Beijing, Blanketed in Dense Smog”.
“A heavy smog filled every street here in Beijing,
air quality index keeps hitting record highs.
Buildings rose up around us like fairyland pavilions,
faintly visible are masks all over here and there.”
In Beijing, visibility has been reduced
to only around 200 meters.
“Visibility has dropped to only around 200 meters,
just like the distance between property
developers and supervisory officers.
People question and ponder in heavy haze,
exploring how to settle the issue of air pollution.”
Netizens criticized that the CCP authorities’
boast of happiness, while ignoring that
ordinary people are living in deep distress.
“Who is boasting of happiness, but
neglecting their duties on governance?
Who is singing amid heavy smog,
reminding people to keep alert?”
Chinese people couldn’t help but miss the air
quality during the 2008 Beijing Olympics period.
Staff of the Beijing Environmental Complaint Center:
“During the Olympics, the city alternated when it allowed
cars on the road, based on license plates being odd or even.
The air pollution is a result of many impacting factors.
We’ve done something to help ease the situation,
such as disabling some old motor vehicles.”
During the Beijing 2008 Olympics, the CCP official data
on air quality was questioned by the international media.
Fang Li, spokesman for Beijing environment authority, said
he could still clearly remember Beijing’s air quality in 2008.
On January 15, the Singtao Daily quoted report data.
It said that seven out of the ten most polluted
cities in the world are located in China.
Less than 1% of 500 large cities in China
meet global standards in air quality.
