Beijing has issued its third major smog alert this year, one day after being named China’s top city for reducing air pollution.
The “orange” alert, the second-highest, will run from Monday to Wednesday, the Beijing environmental protection bureau said in a post on its Weibo account.
The central part of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is expected to see medium to heavy pollution over the three days, it added.
It is the second smog alert issued for the Chinese capital this month.
Two previous orange alerts were issued in January and March, both of which lasted three days.
An orange alert requires factories that make furniture, cement and other heavy industry to limit output to 50% from 80%.
Beijing achieved the biggest reduction in average pollution among 28 cities in northern China from October to February, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said last week on Weibo.
The Chinese government launched a “battleplan” against smog during the winter months, which pollution usually worsens due to heating.
The plan included switching households and industries to natural gas from coal for their heating and other needs, as well as compulsory cuts in steel production in the surrounding areas.
Beijing has suffered serious air pollution for many years, produced by exhaust emissions, coal burning in the surrounding regions and local construction dust.
