ENVIRO WATCH:Heavy fog causes chaos in China

Thick fog in Beijing and other areas of northern China has reduced visibility to almost zero.Although it is now beginning to recede, the fog has forced the majority of domestic flights out of Beijing's Capital Airport to be delayed, leaving thousands of passengers stranded.A flight of the Airbus A380 super jumbo, which is on a demonstration tour of China, was also delayed.A spokeswoman for Beijing's meteorological office said the low visibility is due to fog lingering over the city because of light winds.The conditions have also highlighted a warning from the International Olympic Committee that some sporting events at next year's Summer Games in Beijing may have to be rescheduled due to poor air quality.The city's environmental bureau said in its daily report that the air quality is "slightly polluted" and heavily laden with matter. Vehicles and coal-powered boilers contribute to the amount of particulate matter in the air, as does dust from the numerous construction sites around the city.
