中国空气质量最差的十个城市

Only eight Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards in 2014, according to China's Ministry of Environmental Protection, although this was an improvement on 2013 when just three made the grade.

Haikou in the island province of Hainan -- sometimes called China's Bali -- had the best air quality of the 74 cities monitored by the ministry.

据中国环保部通报，2014年在74个城市中仅有8个城市的空气质量状况达标，比2013年多出5个达标城市。被称为中国巴厘岛的海口空气质量位居首位。

The worst cities were in the industrial province of Hebei, near the capital Beijing, where the average reading of PM2.5 -- tiny particles that can embed themselves deep in the lungs -- were 93 micrograms per cubic meter -- almost triple the country's national standard of 35.

空气质量状况最差的城市属于北京附近的工业大省河北省，其PM2.5平均指数为每立方米93微克，几乎是全国标准每立方米35微克的三倍。

The World Health Organization's guideline for maximum healthy exposure is 25.

世界卫生组织的PM2.5标准为每立方米25微克。

Baoding, China's most polluted city, is home to 11 million people and is perhaps best known for its donkey meat burgers.

拥有1100万人口、或以驴肉火烧而闻名的保定为污染最严重的城市。

The official China Daily newspaper said the the government had set targets to slash coal consumption and close polluting industrial facilities in Hebei, but the province had struggled to find alternative sources of growth.

《中国日报》称，一方面中国政府已经为河北制定了减少煤炭消耗和关闭污染工厂的目标，但另一方面河北却难以找到充足的可替代资源。
