BEIJING - City authorities on Monda

BEIJING - City authorities on Monday issued for the first time a red alert for air pollution, the highest of four danger levels, requiring schools to close and at least half of vehicles to be pulled off the roads.

The local government warned that extremely hazardous levels of pollutants in the Chinese capital will likely continue through Thursday.

China has pledged to step up efforts to mitigate its notorious air pollution, such as by reducing the density of PM2.5, harmful particles that are smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter. But progress has been slow.

Very thick smog blanketed Beijing also last week, with the levels of PM2.5 particles in the air reaching as high as around 650 micrograms per cubic meter, while Chinese President Xi Jinping and other world leaders were attending the ongoing U.N. climate talks in Paris.
