Hao Xiaoxia is the director of the Green Beagle Environment Institute, which is a Beijing-based environmental protection NGO.

　　"There is a poverty-stricken area and an economic zone around Beijing. To control pollution in the city, Beijing has moved its factories to these places, and pollutants from these factories can be blown back into the capital. I went to a small county of Baoding once; it has a paper mill and a quarry yard. You can even smell the stink in the air."

　　Zhu Tong is the Dean of College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at Peking University.

　　He says the problem of rampant air pollution won't be solved through peace-meal solutions.

　　"To tackle the problem, authorities need to identify the sources of pollution, be it vehicle exhaust fumes or industrial emissions. The pollution control plan will only be effective when authorities take actions to roll out coordinated response. In the long term, cities need to change their power consumption model. Currently most of cities in the northern region rely on coal for heating and industrial productions, which can lead to heavy pollution."

　　Vice-Premier Ki Keqiang is on record saying the authorities are planning to strengthen the enforcement of environmental laws and beef up measures to tackle air pollution.

　　China consumed 3.7 billion tons of coal in 2011, which is almost half of the world's total coal consumption.
