Cheung, who has been wearing the mask for the past several years when he walked on the streets in the territory, said "Air in Hong Kong is getting more and more polluted day by day.
The only way I can protect myself is to wear such a mask".
Air pollution in the densely-built-up city scaled new heights in recent weeks as still air trapped pollutants from local vehicles and southern China's mushrooming Pearl River Delta. Picture taken September 10, 2002.
