It was also because of the high level. of pollution that Beijing was voted the second worst city in the world to live.

Concerned about the negative view of the Chinese city, government leaders implemented some new rules in Beijing to host several world political leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting.

With the intention of doing well in the photo, severe measures were taken to retake the blue sky of Beijing. Changes include the break in the operation of some factories, the end of several construction projects, the closure of open-air restaurants and the implementation of new holidays. In addition, half of all popular cars in the region are prohibited from driving.

Results

All these restrictions logically contributed to the reduction of pollution, bringing back to Beijing a blue sky and a healthy city look, totally different from before. The concern now is about the future of the city after the international event, which should be closed in three days.

In fact, with the end of the event approaching, the city is already beginning to be filled again with particles of pollution, which, when inhaled, eventually become incorporated into the lungs. The World Health Organization states that 25 micrograms of particles per cubic meter is the maximum value that can be considered safe. In Beijing, this level is 239 micrograms per cubic meter.
