(19 Dec 2015) China's capital Beijing issued its second smog-related red alert of the month on Saturday, triggering vehicle restrictions and forcing schools to close.
A wave of smog is due to settle over the city between Saturday and Tuesday.
Levels of PM2.5, the smallest and deadliest airborne particles, are set to top 500, according to the official Beijing government website.
That is more than 20 times the level that is considered safe by the World Health Organisation.
Half the city's cars will be forced off the road on each day of the alert, while digging on construction sites and outdoor smoke sources will be banned and factory production restricted.
Schools will close and residents will be advised to avoid outdoor activities.
