China "State media reported on Monday that more than 700 companies stopped production in Beijing, and that traffic police were restricting drivers by monitoring their license plate numbers.
Dozens of cities closed schools and took other emergency measures after a "red alert" was issued from Friday night to Wednesday, for much of northern China.
On Saturday, 22 cities issued red alerts, including top steel-making city Tangshan city in Hebei and Jinan in coal-rich Shandong province.
A red alert is the highest possible air pollution warning.
Red alerts are issued when the Air Quality Index (AQI) is forecast to exceed 200 for more than four days in succession, 300 for more than two days or 500 for at least 24 hours."
