Smog Effectively Shuts Chinese City

Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

Smog so thick it reduced visibility to half the length of a football field has essentially shut down the Chinese city of Harbin.

Schools were forced to close and the airport was shut down because of the thick, choking pollution.

State run media agency Xinhua reported that air quality was significantly worse than World Health Organization recommended limits. The PM2.5 level test, which measures particulates in the air smaller than 2.5 micrometeres, was more than 20 times higher than the WHO’s recommended daily concentration.

Earlier this year, air quality in the capital city of Beijing had also soared past dangerous levels, resulting in disruptions to air travel and causing health issues.

In Heilongjiang province, where Harbin is located, officials closed every highway. A red alert for thick smog was issued and remains in effect for the entire area.
