Typhoon Megi Hits China and Chokes it in Haze China (HDW) August 19, 2004 - A
thin veil of haze hangs over much of eastern China as Typhoon Megi moves
up the coast towards Korea in the above image, captured on August 18,
2004. The haze, which might otherwise have been blown out over the Pacific
Ocean, has been stuck over eastern Asia, hemmed in place by Typhoon Megi.
Hong Kong, shown in the lower left corner of the image, issued a health
alert on August 17 and 18 as air pollution levels soared into the “very
high” category. For another example of how tropical storms can affect
air quality, see A New Idea in Air Quality Monitoring. |
