time.
Authorities in the capital have destroyed more than 500 open-air barbecues
“to cut PM2.5″ – the tiny particulate matter in the air that can enter
deep into the lungs.
Photos carried by state media showed workers on Tuesday cutting pieces of
metal with sparks flying as city wardens looked on.
Citizens online ridiculed the exercise, suggesting authorities should focus
on bigger sources of pollution.
A media officer at Beijing’s Xicheng district administration bureau said
the hundreds of barbecue grills were confiscated over a three-month campaign
and cut up so they couldn’t be used again. She refused to give her name,
as is common with Chinese officials.
Environmental campaigner Ma Jun said residents had complained to
environmental agencies in the past about the odor and smoke from open-air
barbecues.
“This action will help local residents, but to deal with the bigger air
quality problem we need to have priorities and I think one of the major
priorities should still be the motor vehicle emissions,” said Ma, director
of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs. He said the focus
should be on improving the fuel quality and emissions control of heavy duty
diesel trucks, while also involving the surrounding regions, not just
Beijing.
The capital’s pollution regularly reaches hazardous levels. The city
government announced last month that emergency measures such as factory
shutdowns and traffic limits would kick in when air pollution levels are
particularly heavy.
