As the US State Department pulls the plug on air quality monitoring programmes in Beijing and around the world, concerns grow over pollution accountability.
The US State Department has halted its global air quality monitoring program, raising concerns about pollution accountability, particularly in regions with scarce or unreliable data. The program, which began in China in 2008, provided crucial air quality readings from over 80 US embassies and consulates. Its shutdown is viewed as a setback to transparency and environmental efforts.
