“The Filth They Breathe in China,” by Michael Auslin reflects on what is happening to the air and water in China. This article describes the air pollution and why it is happening. It tells us what this is doing to our health and what scientist are saying. China 's air pollution has had great deal of problems and that the united states should step in to help generate better lives.
they are the ones who aren't doing a good enough job to stop the polluting of the world. It cuts into their conscious and this will trigger a feeling to change. "I suspect China is quietly
The fumes from the factories cause the atmosphere to be heavy with poisonous chemicals. China is still not a full democracy; however, their political positions and enforcement has improved drastically from previous years. While China does flourish and has massive amounts of wealth, it is still subject to the mentality that the country who flourishes the most (presumably the United States), others must suffer under
What I can’t stand is when governments like China have negligent laws that allow for heavy pollution and environmental degradation (Rapoza). According to the Department of Health and Human Services, poor environmental quality can have detrimental effects on public health. Poor air quality is linked to early death and lung and heart problems, and contaminated water helps to spread pathogens and harmful chemicals
If the greenhouse gases, temperature, sea level, and CO2 emissions continued to increase, the temperature would cause many more problematic occurrences. Furthermore, he discussed how the air pollution in China has resulted in a shocking number of 1.6 million deaths per year. How is China responding to this? They are making an effort to increase the percentage of renewable energies in their
Residents of East Asia experience the influence of their environment, both physically and socially. Air pollution in East Asia has raised many concerns in its severity throughout the world. Cities such as Taiwan are accredited to having the some of the dirtiest air quality on earth due to the island 's extreme population density (Pulsipher & Pulsipher 2012, p. 340). In order to meet the energy consumption demands coal burning as well as the production of coal has ranked China in accounting for 40% of all the coal burned on the planet. (Pulsipher & Pulsipher 2012, p. 340).
Some cities in china have everyone wear gas masks when they go outside. That 's just tragic! Can you imagine getting lung cancer for standing outside for 10 minutes? Cars can release 2 different kinds of pollution. There is primary pollution that goes straight into the air to pollute it and secondary pollution.
Water pollution is an epidemic in China. Most of the pollution comes from companies that try to recycle the waste, but all they end up doing is more harm to the environment. China recycles everything from plastic to electronic parts. More cancer is popping up in villages due to the contaminated water. From the water they drink to the water they use to wash their clothes, all of it has harsh chemicals in it.
According to BBC News (2016), air pollution in Beijing is always in unhealthy stage. Based on 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. Recent research has shown that there have 4,400 people killed in pollution per day. Sometimes, the school would cancel the class because of air pollution.
In turn, the wealthy region increases demands in tune with global population. When a big-city child dreams of a private plane, a villager might want a pair of sneakers, which is twice as much as his parents’ monthly salary (Loyalka, 2012, p. 77). As a consequence of bigger domestic and foreign manufactory tastes, China faced both domestic environmental pollution and global environmental degradation. Regarding the air pollution, China as a global polluter outstripped the United States in emitting carbon
No matter driving old trucks, old cars, or brand new cars, nine millions people driving car at the same time makes numerous exhaust gases than people could imagine. Therefore automobile in Beijing makes the air far worse than anyone could
This journal, available since 1997, was published by the Cambridge University Press which has been around since 1534. This article gives insight on how much money and resources are ruined each year by China’s pollution problem and puts numbers on the losses. This journal gives information about what diseases and effects the pollution has on human life and explains how unavoidable pollution is to the citizens. Pollution not only has an effect on life, but also their GDP. While China is trying to increase its GDP, it is also hurting the increase of production with the negative aspects of pollution.
Why should humanity be worried about Air pollution? I will take advantage of this essay to talk about Air pollution, explain its causes and show its fatal consequences on us as human beings, and then I will suggest and argue three effective solutions that could help the world to overcome this atrocious phenomenon. We all know that we cannot live without food or water, but at least we can survive for several days, but it is quite impossible to live more than few moments deprived of clean air, and we all know that earth is the only planet that has air; what we can conclude from this is that air is a vital element in our lives, but unfortunately it started getting contaminated since industries and factories attacked humanity about two centuries ago, air started getting toxic since man became slave of money, globalization, urbanization and
Air pollution triggers infections which lead to cardiopulmonary diseases (relating to the heart and lungs), and eventually death. In 2000, air pollution in South Africa accounted for 3.7% of deaths due to cardiopulmonary diseases. (Norman et al., 2010). Air pollution compromises human health and could be said to infringe on the basic human right to life.
There are many problems that threatens society and one problem in particular, air pollution is a problem that threatens everyone. Air pollution is the contamination of air with pollutants that are harmful to humans, animals, and the environment. It began to be a problem when humans discovered the uses of fire and then the amount of air pollution exponentially grew after the industrial revolution, and is still a problem even today. The largest causes of air pollution are from human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and gas emissions from manufacturing plants. There are ways that ordinary people can help contribute to prevent air pollution and or else face the dangerous consequences of polluted air.
