The China Meteorological Administration and the China Academy of Social Sciences released a report on November 4 which claims that China’s air pollution can negatively affect the reproductive system. Other worrying effects caused by the pollution includes acid rain, increased death rates, exacerbated chronic diseases, progression of respiratory and heart diseases, and changes in the body’s immune system.
The report also claimed that China’s smog and air pollution has been gradually rising over the past 50 years and that pollution trends indicate a decrease in smog in the west of the country and an increase in the east. Most areas in the central and eastern parts of China suffer from 25 to 100 smoggy days per year; while certain localities may even experience more than 100 smoggy days. Apart from Xinjiang, most areas in western China have less than 5 smoggy days per year.

When you tell them, something is wrong, they do not believe and denny it until they find by themself some years later. If you tell them how to deal with the problem, they do not care, until they find themself the problem and set up own science, which lead to copy old technology we recomend to them years ago, with some slight changes. Yet they fail to implement and install it in time and at every possible places. Just make a bit more money before any move to better future...

China is really developing at an unprecedented speed. Not only do they find significant and totally unexpected relationships between air pollution and several aspects of health, moreover the institutes that laid bare these stunning facts are the China Meteorological Administration and the China Academy of Social Sciences. Next thing we'll hear is the Chinese Association for Architecture has developed a cure for AIDS.

It may be developing at unprecedented speed but on the flip side so is science to counter the problem.... . This is not a new issue for nations and the fact that it seems to have snuck up is a bit of a misnomer. The great and powerful rulers of China knew what would happen when they started their capitalist expansion..... I thought they did cure AIDs in China recently?
