Smoke from China began to spread to Vietnam

Satellite images show that the pink haze of China has affected Japan, South Korea, Korea, Taiwan and northern Vietnam.

In the first days of 2017, more than half of the Chinese population suffered from the dust and smoke caused by air pollution in the country. About 31 provinces and cities across China had to issue red alert on air pollution, thereby implementing aggressive measures such as limiting the number of vehicles traveling outside the street or closing many factories to reduce dust and smoke. .

Now, China's air pollution seems to be "exported" to some neighboring countries.

On January 3, 2017, Korea had to raise the warning level of air pollution because the amount of dust and dust from China began to flow into this country. Seoul's capital has also raised the air alarm to a high level for the first time since November 2015.

A series of the country's environmental research organizations have also urged people to stay indoors, while the media reported on the smog of smog coming from China.

In Taiwan, the region's environmental agency said that the air quality index (AQI) here has risen to red alert when smoke from mainland China has swept up.

According to research organizations as well as data from the US space agency (NASA), pollution from dust and smoke from China has moved thanks to the wind and low pressure, thereby affecting many neighboring countries.

Normally, air pollution in China will increase in winter because households use a lot of coal for heating. Large amounts of dust and smoke from northern China began to follow wind beds that flowed south and surrounding areas. AQI index of many cities in the south of Chau Giang river delta often exceeds 300, heavy pollution level.
