It is worth noting that while the weather and climate always affect the concentrations of pollutants in the air, the only sure way of reducing the levels is to reduce emissions from the man-made sources.

Buildings Department seeks to close illegal structures
The Buildings Department is seeking to close the unauthorised structures on a ninth floor flat roof of Western House at 164-170 Des Voeux Road West and 30 - 32 Sai Woo Lane in Hong Kong for demolition without endangering the occupants and the public.
A notice was posted at the structures today (Tuesday) informing the occupants that the department would apply for a closure of the structures from the court on November 8.
Acting Chief Building Surveyor, Mr Edmond Li, said the planned closure was part of an exercise to enforce an order issued under the Buildings Ordinance requiring the removal of the illegal structures.
Demolition of the structures would commence once a Closure Order was granted, Mr Li added.
