Protesting Bad Air in China

   About 1000 chanting demonstrators took to the streets of Kunming,  a southern city in China yesterday, to protest the governemtns plans for a state oil refinery.

   Some carried signs with "PX--get out of Kunming" referring to a chemical called paraxylene, used for making plastic products.  It is dangerous if inhaled or absorbed.
