Air monitoring stations to be well located across city

BEIJING - Some Beijing residents have expressed hopes the new air monitoring stations will be set up in areas that can truly reflect the capital's air quality.

"Hopefully the stations will not be located close to any water reservoirs or forest parks," said Beijing resident Wang Yu, 26. "That would simply be a waste of taxpayers' money."

Some non-governmental organizations on environmental protection also appealed to the government to set up stations where objective air quality can be provided.
