BEIJING: The sky turned fluorescent purple over China's Nanjing city on Wednesday causing serious alarm among city dwellers already worried about depressive grey smog that has made breathing difficult. A purple haze was seen as the light of the setting sun filtered through the heavy layer of smog hanging over Nanjing, sources said.
Local scientists and the government run China Central Television hastened to explain that it was caused by refraction of sunlight in the evening hours.
Pictures of a spectacular violet mist hanging over Nanjing on Wednesday went viral on social media. Even the official Xinhua news agency posted pictures on its Twitter account and asked the question, "Pink fog?" Before the clarification came in, many people had speculated over the social media that the violent colour may have come from a leakage of gas which was adding to the pollution. But there was nothing to confirm such speculation.

5 air purifiers, 2 air quality monitors are not enough in China

Liu Nanfeng has five air purifiers, two air quality monitors and a water purification system in his Beijing apartment. He buys organic. But still he worries for his 2-year-old daughter's health.
"I feel safe at home, but when we go out to the mall, the indoor and outdoor air are the same," the 34-year-old screenwriter said. "It feels hopeless."
China's persistent pollution and regular product safety scandals are driving an increasing number of consumers to build bubbles of clean air, purified water and safe products at home and in their cars.
Beijing's city government has twice this month issued pollution "red alerts", the first time it has triggered its most severe smog warning.

Wives are buying sex dolls for husbands - to avoid satisfying their desires themselves.
The business is booming in China as women who no longer want to make love are picking up the sex toy to satisfy their ageing partners.
This is one of the factors that is behind a surge in sales in Xi'an, China, which has 2,000 sex shops, it is claimed.
Feng, a sex shop owner, said his shop used to sell 100 blow up dolls when they first arrived in the city in 1998 - now they are selling more than 1,000, reports China's People's Daily Online.
His estimates the region is selling 10,000 a year and said the trend is reflected in other cities.

This is the horrific moment a dog was dragged behind a pickup truck by its neck until it died of its injuries in China.
The unidentified driver tied the hound to the vehicle with a metal chain before getting behind the steering wheel and pulling away.
Witnesses say that at first the pooch was able to follow behind, but as the truck sped up the exhausted animal was dragged behind.

Pencemaran udara teruk di China
Pencemaran udara adalah teruk di PRC

A new study suggests that air pollution is even worse than thought. Aug 15th 2015 | BEIJING | From the print edition
THE capital’s “airpocalypse”, the choking smog that descended on Beijing in the winter of 2012-13, galvanised public opinion and spooked the government. The strange thing is, though, that information about air pollution—how extensive it is, how much damage it does—has long been sketchy, based mostly on satellite data or computer models. Until now.
Responding to the outcry, the government set up a national air-reporting system which now has almost 1,000 monitoring stations, pumping out hourly reports on six pollutants, including sulphur dioxide, ozone and (the main culprit) particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter, or PM2.5. These are tiny particles which lodge in the lungs and cause respiratory disease. The six are the main cause of local pollution but have little to do with climate change, since they do not include carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. Scientists from Berkeley Earth, a not-for-profit foundation in America, have trawled through this recent cloud of data for the four months to early August 2014, sieved out the bits that are manifestly wrong (readings where the dial seems to be stuck, for instance) and emerged with the most detailed and up-to-date picture of Chinese air pollution so far.
Pollution is sky-high everywhere in China. Some 83% of Chinese are exposed to air that, in America, would be deemed by the Environmental Protection Agency either to be unhealthy or unhealthy for sensitive groups. Almost half the population of China experiences levels of PM2.5 that are above America’s highest threshold. That is even worse than the satellite data had suggested.
