Topic > The problems that pollution has brought to China - 605

Due to factory smoke, car waste and plastic, China has become one of the most polluted countries in the world for centuries. The fact that China produces goods for other countries makes their problem even worse. There are many solutions to this huge problem, but China hasn't found one that works. Although China has severe pollution, it not only affects its country but also other countries. Nowadays in China pollution has become a huge problem due to industrial industry, pollution has increased enormously. Factories that contribute to pollution produce products for other countries. Huge factories, industrial plants and power plants producing huge amounts of air pollutants (earthsky.org). Factories emit harsh chemicals such as carbon black and sulfur dioxide. Black carbon is a chemical that is released into the air through tiny particles from the burning of fossil fuels to produce energy. When these pollutants are expelled en masse, a dense layer of fog is created. China is not the only country to be affected. Other countries like the United States are affected. Even though the United States is miles away from China, its pollution is slowly making its way across the Pacific Ocean to America. Health-care pollution from China is impacting the United States, according to CNN. This affects citizens by causing them health problems such as asthma, glaucoma, lung cancer and lung inflammation. Statistics have shown that elements of matter travel through the ozone layer to create a thick fog. For example nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide. These elements of matter may involve dangerous chemicals that are harmful. According to the press release, dust, ozone and carbon can accumulate in the valleys and at the bottom of the card... so it's the best decision for citizens. According to Drew Desilver, 47% of Chinese believe that air pollution is a big problem in their country. If China pushes forward with its solutions, it can eliminate pollution and become a cleaner and healthier country. Work cited “Clearing the Air”. The daily economist. Np, February 11, 2012. Web.
