ScrAPES#4: Study Links Polluted Air in China to 1.6 Million Deaths a Year

In China, which population stands at approximately 1.357 billion, contributes to the deaths of an estimated 1.6 million people every year due to it's toxic air which terminates smogs that originated from emissions in a distant industrial zone. Studies show that pollutants had airborne particles less than 2.5 microns in diameter. This motive's aftereffect leads to asthma, strokes, lung cancer and heart attacks. Ninety percent of 360 cities in China failed to meet the standards of air quality in the first few months of this year. Air pollution subsidizes seventeen percent of deaths in the nation each year. For China most of their air pollution are caused by coal-burning factories in Shijiazhuang of Hebei Province.
It is utterly interesting to me that China's President, Xi Jinping and their government could not have done any more diminishing egregious ways for their community and even in a whole country to suffer. I have heard plenty of rumors about China; from being a communist to invading countries like the Philippines, Tibet, Japan and soon other Eastern and Southeast Asian countries. I am not surprise that China has a mere tremendous amount of pollution, China is most likely the uttermost polluted and unhealthy country in the world. Their climate is unquestionably unhealthy, absence in social classes, equality, and money. They use their people primarily as slaves because of inequality and selfish desires. I know for a fact that as long as China's pollution is grave no one would want to visit. So then if there are no tourist there will be no appreciation for the good things of China. I am not saying China is an unacceptable country because every country has it's good and bad, but I am saying that China needs to change for their government, people, and society.

China's pollution relates to the environment because it's fallout increases death tolls, and appalling environment; for example parks, grass, trees, and animals. Overall China in the future will soon see itself as the land of the forgotten. Everything will die not only because of pollution but because of mother nature itself as well, like global warming, changes of atomic plates, erosions, volcanic eruptions, and much more. Currently their people, the Chinese, are suffering from pollution. Most are suffering asthma and lung cancer due to their lungs taking up polluted air because polluted air consist of harmful and poisonous effects. They are also most likely iron deficient due to lack of sunlight. Iron deficiency can result to anemia and severe anemia can cause to heart diseases such as heart disease and for pregnant women it can result to newborns with deformation. Animals and plants are dying too. If trees die there will be barely any oxygen for living things to take in and also causes starvation because of lack of sources for food, since everything will die. It is partially the China's government's misdeed to why air is polluted because they are careless to fix their dispute. Other than that just because China's government is fallacious their people and climate need to be much more vigorous; Citizens need to have equality, jobs, and lively environment for a valuable outcome.
Some of the pictures that come out of China freak me out! I hope we never get that bad! 5/5
