Thirteen northern Chinese cities have issued pollution alerts, given rising smog levels.

Air quality in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has improved due to the closing and relocating of industrial plants and raising of emission standards.Thirteen northern Chinese cities surrounding the capital Beijing have issued pollution alerts over the last few days, raising concerns that an industrial recovery in the region is increasing smog levels.

Air quality in the traditionally smog-prone region of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has improved markedly in recent years as a result of a"war on pollution" since 2014, which involved closing and relocating industrial plants as well as raising emission standards. China has been trying to re-energise its economy since lifting strict Covid-19 curbs at the end of last year, raising fears that pollution could be allowed to rise.An orange alert means the three-day average air quality index has risen above 200, classified as"heavy pollution", and normally triggers industrial closures or output cuts under Chinese regulations.
