China's capital city of Beijing has been discussing the feasibility of setting up air purifiers at schools and kindergartens during a smog control conference.

The discussion led by the Beijing education authority also included the possibility of a flexible timetable for schools during days of heavy air pollution.

Meantime, the conference further discussed a preliminary plan on tackling traffic congestion, as part of efforts to tackle smog.

The plan discussed proposed to build a highway around the capital so that outside vehicles passing by would not necessarily cross through the city, adding that stricter controls will be imposed on high-emission vehicles.

In addition, the plan proposed measures on charging fees for outside vehicles passing through congested road sections.
