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.
