In recent decades, China's struggles with air pollution have become a public health issue. Beijing is one of the most polluted places in the world, and air pollution levels were particularly bad in January 2013: Visibility was down to 100 meters, and rates of respiratory illness soared. In the region, air pollution is often worse in the winter.
