China's Air Pollution

China's Smog

Within the last decade or so, China's air pollution has sky-rocketed to the point where people wear masks in heavy smog. It's ridiculous. The population in China is around 1.351 billion since 2012 count according to Google. Just about 2 weeks ago a NASA satellite took pictures and a video of a city called Harbin (10 million population). The city was surrounded by smog. 

During heavy smog storms, China's schools close down. People in china are suffering in the smog that they produce. The government must pressure companies to reduce use of emissions or be more environmentally conscious in this economically driven society. They must put measures in place, set standards, and follow through with them. The public is getting restless with the pollution they live in since they have to deal with it everyday.

There was one case where there was a public outcry about an 8 year old having lung cancer from all of the smog. There is also a correlation to low sperm count and pollution.
