On a scale of 1 to 10, Hong Kong’s pollution is a “10” right now. Literally.

Yay, Hong Kong! We did it! 10/10 across the board! As of 3pm, on a scale from low to serious, Hong Kong pollution is at “serious”, the worst rating that the Hong Kong government has for air quality. Even green bastions like Yuen Long and Tai Po are at 10, though Tai Po is only at “very high” rather than “serious”. Phew!

The latest AQI is at 188. Let’s hope it doesn’t hit 200…
