Since 6.5 million people are dying every year now from air pollution this is something to think about. I would say likely that Beijing might be one of the worst places for this. I have a friend who lives near Seoul, South Korea which is downwind across the ocean from Beijing and this often causes somewhat bad air there too. I have seen this in person to the point where I long to be in Jeju (which is a little like Hawaii to the south of South Korea) where the air is usually clear more like the air off the Pacific Ocean on a sea breeze off the Pacific Ocean in Northern California unless there are forest fires with a Santana blowing out to sea or something like that.
However, many people don't have the resources or knowledge to move away and to save the lives of themselves, their wives and children and so they die before their times worldwide at a rate of 6.5 million people a year dying before their times now which is more each year than HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, and road injuries worldwide now every single year.
Think about it. 10 years of these statistics kill 65 million people around the world! We are starting to get into statistics like how many died in World war II now.
