The pollution in Beijing is not only unsightly, but may affect your body in adverse ways.

Be sure to bring plenty of lotion and eye drops (especially for those who wear contacts) as the pollution tends to irritate and dry out your skin and eyes.

The U.S. embassy regularly posts a pollution report on its website. On days that are categorized as 'hazardous', it may be best to stay inside.

北京的空氣污染是一個不堪的事實，或多或少危害著人體的健康。

一定要帶夠乳液和眼藥水，特別是那些有戴隱形眼鏡習慣的人，因為在污染的環境中，皮膚和眼睛常常會覺得干澀。

美國大使館每天會在官網上刊登大氣污染情況。如果當天天氣標注為“有危害的”，那你最好呆在室內。
