Smog-free meat on the way

City in Sichuan says special equipment to help keep air clean during festival run-up

The environmental watchdog in Dazhou, Sichuan province, will provide more than 100 machines and equipment to allow residents to smoke meat in an enclosed environment without polluting the air.

The bid is aimed at reducing smog, since the practice of smoking meat contributes to pollution in Sichuan's easternmost city, according to Wang Huaiyan, chief of the city's environmental protection bureau.
