Q: Did anyone publish a chemical analysis of Beijing's smog?
Just curious to know what the hell we were/are ingesting? I heard a doctor at UFH joking that we'd be better of smoking a pack of cigarettes, and that really jolted me. Then he said the cotton mask I was wearing was useless because the particles are so small they go right through the cotton! So what exactly is in that crappy smog that has me still coughing away and blowing out brown snot?
particles of diesel dust and coal dust are the main things you are breathing in.
Last week The Daily with Jon Stewart did an hilarious bit on the Beijing smog entitled,
"At least we can't chew our air!". Download that and have a chuckle. (The episode with Christopher Walken)
It is pure clean air, that has gown denser in gratitude to the great work of the people and the party in Beijing, even nature bows down in awe at the wonders of Beijing!
I think they know very well what is in the smoggy air but they are too afraid/embarrassed/ashamed to tell us! Here is my guess: Dioxins, Coal Dust, Heavy Metal Oxides and perhaps a dozen other carcinogens.
Its f@cked up that people 5,000 miles away in Toronto know what we are breathing in Beijing but we don't !!!! http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2013/01/29/beijing_cancels_flights_shu...
