BEIJING (Reuters) – China aims to reduce the national average concentration of fine particulate matter, a measure of air quality, to less than 28 micrograms per cubic metre by 2027.
The country also aims for less than 25 micrograms by 2035, state news agency Xinhua reported on Thursday.
China previously set its national “interim” air quality standard at 35 micrograms per cubic metre, well above the 5 microgram limit recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
