[|Article "Budding Greens"] [|New York Times Article on pollution in China][|Chinese pollution is and increasing threat] The air in China has been the biggest of problems for the Chinese. It is also the problem which so far, has been dealt with the most by the Chinese. There has been Colleges that have been working on projects that would improve the overall effects of global warming in China. They have been trying to get 52 other Colleges to take part, and become more eco friendly. Dispite the efforts made by these groups, the rapid increase in China's economy has brought in more and more factories that are polluting the air with coal burning gases. The air is continuously being tainted. Large cities like Beijing have also tried to stop the dangerous emmiting of gases into the air by shutting down noxious factories, and shortening car emmisions, but their efforts are not doing much good to help. The pollution also continues to the water. The US finds it worrying that a good chunk of the rivers, lakes, and other sources of drinking water cannot be used due to overcontamination. The crisis in China really is a problem. An article from CBS has also stated that due to the contamination of the air, has caused over 400,000 premature deaths due to lung disease.
