2E3 - Group 2 - Air pollution in Beijing, China(Nicholas)



THE PROBLEM
  • As Beijing today woke up to a fourth day of thick smog, China's capital is trying to come to terms with some of the worst air pollution it has ever seen.Also,there has been rapid industrialisation in China and a heavy reliance on coal power, which have both contributed to the problem.

THE CAUSES

  • Chinese media say that although some of the smog can be attributed to wintry weather conditions, the human contribution is one of the biggest factors.For example, due to the factories that gives off air pollution,Beijing city has a thick smog in the city.
THE EFFECT
  • Coupled with Beijing's enormous rise in car ownership (5 million vehicles and rising) and a blase attitude towards environmental laws, and it is easy to see how air pollution has spiralled out of control.
