    Beijing and much of industrial northern China are in the midst of a "red alert," the highest level in China's four-tiered pollution warning system. Road works were suspended; older and “dirty” high-emissions vehicles were forbidden from taking to the roads; and heavily polluting industries such as steel plants were ordered to halt or slow their operations.
