Air pollution in China
- CAUSES
- Particulate matter
- Smog
- Temperature inversions
- Photochemical Smog
- Ozone
- Emissions from Coal Plants
- High manufacturing industry (factories)
- Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxide, Carbon Monoxide
- Particulate matter
- EFFECTS
- PM 2.5 per m³
- Premature death
- 350,000 and 500,000
people die prematurely
each year as a result of
outdoor air pollution in
China
- Estimated that
airborne particles
smaller than 2.5
microns in diameter
(PM2.5) caused 1.2
million premature
deaths in China in
2010 alone

China
- Between 2002 and 2011 the incidence of
lung cancer in Beijing near doubled
- Nationwide,
deaths from
lung cancer
have risen 465
per cent in the
last three
decades

- Chinese scientists have warned that the
country's toxic air pollution is now so bad
that it resembles a nuclear winter
- slowing
photosynthesis
in plants – and
potentially
wreaking havoc
on the
country's food
supply

- Air pollutants adhere to greenhouse surfaces,
cutting the amount of light inside by about 50%
and severely impeding photosynthesis
- 25 February 2014) Hit 505 micrograms per cubic metre on
Tuesday night. The World Health Organisation recommends a safe
level of 25.
- 147 industrial
companies in
Beijing have cut
or suspended
production (Feb
2014)

- PM 2.5 per m³
- SOLUTIONS
- Coal Consumption decreased
- Plan to tackle the high levels of air
pollution including for the first time
measures to cut coal consumption
- Plan to tackle the high levels of air
pollution including for the first time
measures to cut coal consumption
- Monitoring
- 200,000 people will be prevented from
dying prematurely each year if the
annual level of PM in Chinese cities
reaches the first level standard of 40
micrograms per cubic metre
- 200,000 people will be prevented from
dying prematurely each year if the
annual level of PM in Chinese cities
reaches the first level standard of 40
micrograms per cubic metre
- 1.7 trillion Yuan (£180bn) to clean up power stations and traffic fumes
- Giant inflatable dome at the International School of Beijing
now provides an insulated space where the air is filtered and
positive pressure ensures any pollution is kept at bay
- Coal Consumption decreased
