Beijing to use less snow melting agent this winter
( 2003-10-27 15:46) (CRIENGLISH.com)
Beijing regrets using too
much, and substandard, snow melting agent last winter, and will use less this
winter.
Government insitutions admit that less than 20 percent of the
snow melter used last winter met industry standards, which caused significant
pollution.
Many patches of grass on the sides of the city's major roads died after
polluted snow was spilled or splashed on them.
This winter, the city promises to use less chemical agent to help keep main
roads free of snow.
