China: Sale of canned clean air skyrockets following smog red alert

“Want a breath of fresh mountain air right in the smog-filled Chinese capital of Beijing? You’ll have to try it out of a can then.  A red alert recently issued due to escalating levels of smog in Beijing has turned into a profitable venture for many in the business of clean air. Sales of pollution masks have skyrocketed with pieces available in different prints and designs. The requirement for clean air recently led one restaurant in the Chinese city of Zhangjiagang to charge a ‘clean air fee’ of one yuan ($0.15, £0.10), according to a report by China’s state-run news agency Xinhua. Local authorities pointed out that the fee was illegal and sent a written notice to the restaurant asking it to stop the charge.”
