This is scary stuff.

*The Huffington Post*, June 17, 2012, that the Chinese government's
English-language newspaper, *China Daily*, reports that on June 14 a
huge mushroom-like
cloud <http://bbs.chinadaily.com.cn/thread-754305-1-1.html> was spotted
over Beijing, closely resembling the explosion of an atomic bomb**.
Footage of the mysterious cloud has been released on YouTube. One shows raw
video of the haze <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVIzyUBJeQ8> taken from
what appears to be a high-rise building, while another video is an edited
version <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ykDq7VbMEQ> documenting the haze
on June 14. Note how right next to the giant mushroom cloud are clear blue
skies:
The yellow and green haze led Chinese authorities to advise residents to
stay inside
Monday<http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/13923804/chinas-wuhan-city-covered-in-mysterious-haze/>,
according to Agence France-Presse.
While rumors swarmed online about the cause of the unusual cloud, Chinese
police arrested two internet
users<http://www.eeo.com.cn/ens/2012/0612/228106.shtml>who said the
pollution had been triggered by a chlorine leak at a chemical
plant or an explosion at a steel refinery, notes *The Economic Observer*.
Meanwhile, government authorities told the official Xinhua news agency
that straw
burning was the
cause<http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/13923804/chinas-wuhan-city-covered-in-mysterious-haze/>and
denied there had been any industrial accidents.
Air pollution is increasingly becoming a major problem in
China<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/06/world/asia/china-asks-embassies-to-stop-measuring-air-pollution.html>,
and the secretive Communist Party government is often accused of
downplaying the severity of the problem in metropolitan areas.
Earlier this month, China demanded the U.S. Embassy in Beijing to stop
publishing air pollution
readings,<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/05/china-air-pollution_n_1569825.html>saying
it was against diplomatic conventions and the law.
