《中国日报》援引潘涛的话称，北京的PM2.5年均浓度有望在2030年达标。

China Daily cited Mr. Pan as saying an average PM 2.5 concentration of 35 micrograms per cubic meter could be reached by 2030 .

但潘涛表示，即便北京及周边地区达到了该目标，颗粒物的浓度仍对健康有害。

But Mr. Pan said that even if Beijing and the nearby areas were to meet that target , the level of particulate matter would still be harmful to people 's health .

据《中国日报》报道，「当前北京的污染物排放量仍远超环境容量，任何恶劣的气候条件都容易产生雾霾天，」潘涛说。

The current pollution emission is far beyond the environmental capacity in the city , and any adverse climate condition would easily result in smoggy days , Mr. Pan said , according to China Daily .

Improving air quality in the city is not going to be an easy task , Pan Tao , head of the Beijing Municipal Research Institute of Environmental Protection , said at a conference , according to China Daily .
