U.S. Embassy in Beijing Offers Assessments Of Air Quality at Odds With Chinese Readings

摘要

The U.S. Embassy in Beijing has begun publishing air quality readings that are often at odds with official Beijing versions, though the embassy insists its data cannot be compared with Chinese readings, embassy staff told BNA.rnThe embassy has been privately monitoring air quality at its facility on the northeast side of the capital since spring 2008 out of concern for the health of embassy employees, staff said.
