Cities of China are shrouded in toxic smog.

Parents passed around images of the edges of their windows covered in sticky tape as they attempted to block the smog from entering their homes.
Officials have vowed to fight a “war on pollution”, but it remains a major source of anger in China where many cities are regularly blanketed by smog.
