Really? So, what, you'd wear a mask at 295 but not at 200? It's unhealthy compared to hazardous. Do you really plan your day this way? If "even the common layman at 06:00 this morning could estimate easily over 250," then why didn't you just do that?

You have a moral responsibility to post accurate information. Where do youget your air quality data from? You claim its from the US embassy but then you pull a 200 out of your ass. At 06:00 am it was already 265 by the embassy and other sites readily availble and published by China. At 08:15 it is 299 by the governments published BJ Air Pollution Real Time.

You cannot be serious. I suggest you look out the window in the future before you publish such garbage. Even the common layman at 06:00 this morning could estimate easily over 250.
