China’s environmental regulator has asked authorities in some northern provinces to take measures to reduce emissions, as air pollution is expected to continue next week.
Northern provinces including Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan are required to take actions based on local air quality forecasts, according to a statement from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on Friday, which didn’t specify what the measures will be.
