China Air Pollution Hits Record Levels; Relief May be as Close as the Nearest Five Star Hotel
Air pollution is a major problem in China and the Chinese government is now talking about the issue.
PULASKI, N.Y., Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Pollution is a major problem in China due to the country's rapid pace of industrialization, reliance on coal power, growth in car ownership and disregard for environmental laws. "The Beijing Shijitan Hospital received 20 percent more patients than usual at its respiratory health department, most of them coughing and seeking treatment for bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory ailments," Dr. Huang Aiben said. One of Beijing's worst rounds of air pollution kept school children indoors and sent coughing residents to hospitals, but this time something was different about the murky haze: the government's transparency in talking about it.
The government started publishing PM2.5 readings last year after public demands for more detailed air quality data. Hourly air quality updates are now available online for more than 70 cities. To add to this many travelers are concerned that there trips to China will leave them sick and desperate for a fresh air and relief may not be too far away.
