VOICED : Nuevo record de contaminacion del aire en Pekin

Beijing is under an orange alert due to record pollution levels, despite factory closures aimed at reducing severe pollution. A dense fog limits visibility, and the US Embassy reports pollution levels 24 times higher than WHO standards. China, the world's largest coal producer and consumer, is also the top polluter, with emissions nearly double those of the US in 2013. China has pledged to peak emissions by 2030, a crucial commitment for the ongoing Climate Conference in Paris.
