Affected And Benefited Population . It Is Very Hard To

As the exploration of the industrial development and increased speed of the urban sprawl in Beijing, many severe environmental issues attribute mainly to the anthropocentric activities have been come out of the scene. One of them is the air pollution. Air pollution has been regarded as the most severe environment issue in China since it has already threatened to physical health, especially for the respiratory tract and lung. “In January 2013, Beijing experienced historical heavy air pollution. In this particular month, very few days were observed with blue sky.” (Lijian Han et.al., 2015) According to the analysis of the driving factors, “the population grew fast, and energy consumption and the number of vehicles increased rapidly” (Ju Zhang et.al., 2010), these factors add together can make the air quality worse than any one of them separately can. Firstly, it has been an undoubted truth that more and more people originally lived in rural has been moved to core urban of Beijing since there are more opportunities in there. Therefore, the huge explosion of urban population with more energy release and more CO2 exhalation is seen as an inevitably primary factor causing the bad air quality. What’s more, as the population

Air pollution by definition, is the presence in or introduction into the air of a substance which has harmful or poisonous effects. Beijing is a major Chinese city that endures air pollution significantly. A study on the global burden of disease found that outdoor air pollution contributed to 1.2 million premature deaths in China each year (Chemical & Engineering News,2017). As China is the world's second largest economy behind the United States, it is most definitely under the influence of globalization. Globalization causes industrialization, a process that will inevitably create pollution.70% of air pollution in China is from the tailpipes of automobiles (Conserve Energy Future, 2017). Thus, the introduction of advanced transportation brought by globalization has adversely affected China's atmosphere.

We know the effects it can have on a person and to the environment. The Chinese people every day inhale the contaminated air leading to respiratory issues and other health concerns. Since the pollution in China is so severe it had caused cancels in flights and off days for schools. Although, it has not yet to happen in the U.S. it is affecting us on a much smaller scale. When air from China travels to the U.S. it contaminates places such as black carbon can caused us much trouble. A study shown by the University of California, Irvine, and Davis (2014)

According to BBC News (2016), air pollution in Beijing is always in unhealthy stage as based on average air quality (AQI) from the year 2008 to 2015, Beijing had about 49 out of 100 percent was in unhealthy stage, 14 out of 100 percent was in very unhealthy stage, and 4 out of 100 percent was in hazardous stage. Staying in a bad air or water pollution country is very tough for life. According to Mosbergen, D. (2015) had shown that there have 4,400 people death in air pollution per day. According to Watt, L. (2013), about 13 million car sold in 2012, actually land transportation are the chief culprit that causes air pollution but China’s people prefer driving their own car than taking public transportation. This is because they don’t want to take public transportation in this air pollution. Sometimes, the school would cancel the class because of air pollution. Cancelled the class will affect the result of the student. Some of the job would be pause because of the air pollution, so their work had being postpone. Postpone the complete working time will make the company loss example construction business. Construction business in China is important, because China need the construction business to improve their economy. But according to Lovells, H. (2014), there have some companies did not follow the environmental protection regulation which could be fined and penalties because they always use the ‘relationship’ to

China’s energy consumption has spiked 130% from 2000 to 2010, because of this boost China has become the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Less than 1% of China’s 500 largest cities meet the WHO’s (World Health Organization) air quality standards. Between 350,000 and 500,000 people die prematurely each year as a result of outdoor air pollution in China. Air pollution isn’t the only dilemma, water in China has been polluted also. Nearly half of all rivers in the country are unsafe for human contact. In the North 300 to 500 million people lack access to piped water, and the piped water may not be safe either. 90% of underground water in cities and 70% of china’s rivers and lakes are now polluted. On top of that there is a water crisis also, that has turned China’s arable land into desert. Life expectancy in the north has decreased by 5.5 years, and children as young as 8 years old are developing lung cancer, and other health complications including respiratory, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular diseases. Pollution in China not only affects the people it

First thing I want to talk about is just how bad the air in China is. According to Abc.net Linfen, China is the number one most polluted place on earth causing high levels of bronchitis, pneumonia, lung cancer, and lead poisoning in children alone. Which brings me to death rate every year in China, according to the Studies by the world bank, WHO, and the Chinese academy of Environment planning, they found around 350,000 and 500,000 people die prematurely because of the air (telegraph ).

Air pollution, as one of the concerns that had raised the attention of environmentalists and scientists in the developed countries, now have been targeted at the country, China, that have been going through a rapid development of industrialization. However, unfortunately, the haze pollution in China, measured by the emission of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matters, and carbon dioxide, has already gone far away beyond being the side effect of the development but also the handicap of the country’s future.

China is creating different ways to battle the pollution throughout the effective measures like reducing coal consumption, shutting down factories and increasing vehicles that are electric hopefully these ideas will be effective around worldwide. Air pollution is becoming more dangerous around the society in China causing the elderly not able to inhale properly without the chemicals around the oxygen in China however, seeing little kids and adults wearing a mask covering their face to protect themselves from any harm with the air. This problem has been occurring from 1998 to 2013 after those 15 years China is still finding a way to clear the air. Although China effort in reducing air pollution will help to stop making the air denser, the society will tackle the issues while the environment is safer.

It is no secret that China is one of the fastest growing countries in the nation, and over the past 3 decades China has had the fastest economic growth over all major nations. In conjunction to China’s economic development and industrialization comes the excessive burning of coal as a source of energy. According to china's ministry of environmental protection 9 out of 10 cities have such robust developed economy that they fail the countries pollution test. Manufacturing activities are the leading cause of environmental problems, And as the country continues to burn coal the country shows dangerous signs of apocalyptic levels. China is the world's largest polluter and they burn almost as much coal as the rest of the world combined. Industrial areas outside the city burn coal around the clock in order to power factories, high winds carry particulate matter throughout the country, not only affecting rural areas, but urban communities as well. China's reasons for using coal as an energy source, as opposed to alternatives, are that they have a huge resource for coal as well as it is an inexpensive and reliable source of energy. Although, burning coal is on the decline, it is still a large part of China’s energy structure. It is visibly evident that China’s air pollution is at a frightening all time high. These highly toxic particulate matter levels are not only concerning for the 21 million residents of Beijing, but as well as the rest of the world. Charlie Cambell a

It is very obvious to notice the impact of climate change in my hometown, China. I was born in Shanghai in 1998, when I was a child, it was not a fresh news when people saw the blue skies. But now, it is. Currently, almost every adult around me is talking about air pollution issue. Filtering face masks and air purifiers which can be placed in homes are two popular goods. Although everyone understands that this issue is very serious, it seems that no one can explain it clearly in details. Since the influence of climate change in China is a fairly wide range of topic, I choose to mainly discuss air pollution as a result of it closely relating to the quality of people’s daily life which people have to breathe every minute.

Air pollution is a major concern for Chinese people as it caused many problems to their social and environmental life. Due to the heavy smog that covers most of the North-eastern areas of china, it has caused the public to show their concern about their polluted air to get the government to fix this problem. The air was polluted for many days within China which meant they couldn’t attain clear blue skies, especially areas that were heavily populated, having an impact on the local’s social life. Because of the heavy air pollution in China, the government has tried to find different strategies to reduce and prevent the amount of pollution in the air.

With a rapid level of industrialization and a growing population throughout the past couple of decades, China has become the world’s largest emitter. Consequently, through the combination of these two factors, the Asian country suffers from high levels of air pollution. Amongst many of the rapidly industrialized cities, Shanghai stands out as one of the greatest commercial and most industrial cities in China. For this reason, due to increases in population, energy consumption and infrastructural density, the levels of different health effects of air pollution have reached serious levels. From increases in heart diseases and mortality rates, to increases in respiratory conditions, it is clear that the city of Shanghai is suffering from epidemic levels of air pollution. Additionally, one of the large factors, amongst others, that can be attributed to health complication throughout Shanghai is the increase of sulfur dioxide in the air. (Song et al., 2008)

China is another developing country that has been pointed to as perhaps having the worst air pollution level in the world (Kan et al., 2011). This heavy air pollution status has been reported to originate from the use of coal as major energy source, with coal smoke, suspended particulate matter and sulfur dioxide as the predominant principal air pollutants (Chen et al., 2011).

China has become a global superpower. Its rise to the top of the trading chain has become a key factor into what it’s become today. With its accelerated population over the last years, it’s economic value has flourished its economy to a wide extent. There is also a saying, that with every good thing, there is always something bad. That’s when China’s environmental factors come to play. In the last twenty years, the quality of life in china has been decaying. The air surrounding most of the major cities in china are filled with horrible, toxic chemicals that has brought worldwide attention to this issue. Not only that, but contaminated and scarce water in China also play large roles in the impact of the environment. I believe that the increase in population, coal processing, and manufacturing of goods, have brought about environmental damages, but has also created economic stability.

One of the most concerning issues that has affected the entire world is air pollution, but we do not seemed to see it as a serious problem to take care off until now. Scientist from the World Health Organization released information on their research that was taken place in 2012. About 7 million lives around the world was claimed by air pollution and more than one third were from fast developing countries from India to Japan, but China was the most concentrated area of air pollution. China has a goal to urbanize very quickly that the cities do not think about planning on proper waste dumping and helping the environment. The mast movement of urbanization will affect the farmers greatly because they rely on the environment to be clean and using the sun to help grown their crops. The World Bank study offered advice to China that building dense cities will be more efficient so the people in China could avoid larger risk of pollution from long commutes traveling and high energy consumption. China did listen to the advice but they still want to reach their goal. China wants about 60 percent of the population to be living in cities by 2020, as of right now they are at 54 percent of their goal. The World Bank and World Health Organization said the greatest threats to human health are burning noxious fuels from coal, wood, and animal waste. (Jacobs and Johnson, 2014) China’s largest reason for air pollution is the use of coal, because two-thirds of the country uses it for energy.
