This week, local pollution is combining with a cloud of smog that has moved over from Europe, where milder weather has also caused traffic pollution to build up, causing levels to soar above average.

The study--carried out by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tsinghua University in Beijing--was released last week.

Industry lobbyists weakened Europe air pollution rules, say Greenpeace
