Hebei

Hebei Province, known for the worst air condition in China, vowed on 8th Apirl to clear the smog by reducing coal-related pollution.

Hebei Vice Governor Zhang Jiehui said the province would cut emissions from coal-fired power stations by half.

Coal emissions contribute half of the air pollution in Hebei, the vice governor said at an air pollution control meeting.

Stations that can not meet the goal will be shut down, according to the provincial government.

The government also plans to close all solid clay brick kilns as they cause heavy pollution.
