China's rapid industrialisation has led to "an air pollution
catastrophe". Concerted efforts to achieve economic growth have led
to veiled skies of toxic air and created health and morbidity
problems as well as tremendous environmental degradation. China's
Air Pollution Problems provides an overview of air pollution in
China describing how and why China has ended up in such a dire
situation, what the government is doing to address the problem and
the difficulties it is encountering in attempting to reduce the
pollution. The analysis is based on both grey literature (newspaper
articles, NGO reports, Chinese government information) and on
academic studies. The grey literature gives a voice to those who
suffer from the pollution, their advocates, and government
officers, and allows the reader to better grasp the conditions on
the ground, and the impact of air pollution among people in
different areas in China. The academic literature adds a
theoretical perspective and brings these different case studies
into a broader context. This book will be of great interest to
students of environmental pollution and contemporary Chinese
studies looking for an introduction to the topic and also for
researchers looking for an extensive list of sources and analysis
of China's environmental problems.
