Air pollution levels fell in most cities in China last year, environmental group Greenpeace said on Wednesday, but a humid and windless winter shrouded swaths of the country in choking smog, slowing improvement in the second half.

BEIJING: A China-based startup firm launched a campaign to fund a project which would allow people to monitor air pollution locally, and to crowd-source data on the problem in many countries around the world.
Airvisual.com, based in Beijing, has designed a personal pollution measuring device that can feed air quality data into a worldwide network, providing up-to-the-minute information on local conditions as well as three-day forecasts.
