Air China

China is one of the countries with the poorest air quality. Moreover, Eastern China has an average air quality index (AQI) of 180, and some locations like Jiangbei, Songyuan have an AQI rating of over 500 (World Air Quality, 2017). Typically, on the AQI, a rating of above 150 is unhealthy, where individuals may experience mild to serious health effects from poor air quality (World Air Quality, 2017). Additionally, an AQI of above 200 is considered hazardous, which leads to the entire population experiencing

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

In recent years, air pollution has become a growing problem in China (Zhang, Chao). According to the newly released scientific paper by Dan Levin, “Outdoor air pollution contributes to the deaths of an estimated 1.6 million people in China every year, or about 4,400 people a day” (Levin, Dan).

Since then, China has entered a new Communist era of stability, with the Reform and Opening Up policies of 1978 bringing in China’s phenomenal economic growth (Tisdell, 2008). However, with these advances in industry come a downside: air pollution. Since the early 1980s, air pollution levels have been climbing to dangerous levels.

In the past decade, the severe air pollution problem in fast developing countries, particularly in China, has caused highly social and scientific attention. In 2014, 92 % of the world population are exposed over to the WHO Air Quality Guidelines (AQG) PM2.5 concentration level of 10 μg/m3 (World Health Organization, 2016). Ambient particulate matter (PM) pollution ranked as the third leading risk factor in India and Nepal, and ranked as the fifth in China (GBD 2015 Risk Factors Collaborators, 2016)

Beijing, China has a coal mining history of nearly 800 and some odd years. This has been a major air pollutant and the main reason for it is because its economy has grown substantially in the last 30 years. Worldwide, there are twenty cities with the highest, worst air pollution, sixteen of those cities are within China alone. The main causes of Beijing’s air pollution can be pointed to several factors. Large economical growth, an increase in vehicles on the roads, growth in population, and manufacturing
