    You have to consider the source. I'm not sure that this is accurate. Beijing is pretty high up on my list, if not near the top, between the auto pollution and the dust from Mongolia in the winter, it can be a nightmare being there. People with lung disorders (asthma, COPD) really need to be careful there.

    Some of the smaller towns and villages can be pretty bad; the one that deal with coal primarily. But there are thousands of them scattered throughout...

    For cleaner air, Yunnan province is just great. Oh, and Dengfeng can get pretty damn hazy in the winter.

        Life in America can cause that. In fact, it's getting worse every year. Asthma rates are skyrocketing in many major US cities. It's the main reason why I had to get out of Vegas.

          Da Tong, Shi Jia Zhuang, Zhu Zhou, Luo Yang. Those are cities I've been to, where Da Tong was the worst.
          The air was filled with the fine dust from the coalmines and the trucks bringing it in. The smell of sulphur was ubiquitous since every little household had several ovens pumping the smoke out in big clouds onto the streets.

          Linfen seems to be living hell though... I found this slideshow http://www.theglobeandmail.com/v5/co...how/index.html
