Smog shut down a city of 11 million people in Northeastern China in capital city of Harbin, province of  Hellongjiang.  PM 2.5, whose max limit set by WHO is 300,  reached 1,000 in some parts of the city.  The thick smog caused poor visibility resulting in suspension of classes in primary and middle classes, closing down the airport,  and bus routes.   Visibility was only at 10 meters

The condition is expected to persist in the next 24 hours

What do you think of this problem in China?

What could have been the cause, the Australian wildfires?

Would this happen to the PHL?

Coal fired plants?
