In the months of December and January,China experienced some of the worst air pollution in its history.At times,Beijing's Air Quality Index(AQI)was measured at 406.Any AQI reading over 150is considered"unhealthy"and any reading over 300is considered"hazardous".In Shanghai,we had several days when the AQI neared 300.The PM2.5readings were also high.PM2.5refers to particulate (微粒的)matter smaller than 2.5microns(微米) in diameter.These particles are small enough to get into the lungs and can cause cancer and other lung diseases.
China is now becoming acutely aware that the rush to development has come at a price and may be endangering the health of its citizens.This is something other countries have faced before.The U.K.used to be the most polluted country in the world.It wasn't until London's Big Smog of 1952that people realized that air pollution was a real health hazard.Twelve thousand deaths were directly related to that"pea-souper(濃霧)"and it resulted in Parliament(英國議會)passing the Clean Air Act(《清潔空氣法案》)of 1956.
China will no doubt pass similar laws.It's a choice between wealth and health.As Beijingers and Shanghainese coughed their way through December and January,the choice may have become easier to make.
