[quote=JABAROOTOO ,10630]Here's a little more on pollution in general but it seems that Shanxi takes the cakes for the most and worst polluted cities in China today.Even the Yangtze, which supplies water to a 12th of the world's population, is showing the growing pressure of dams, river traffic and effluent from supercities such as Chongqing, which has a municipal population of 30 million. Less than a third of the waste from China's cities is treated. Water is by no means the only environmental problem. Acid rain falls on a third of the country's territory. According to a ranking of air quality, 15 of the planet's 20 most polluted cities are in China. The smog is so bad that respiratory diseases have recently become the leading cause of death. But water carries the greatest political risk. Officials from the World Bank warned last year that the contest for scarce resources would lead to "a fight between rural interests, urban interests and industrial interests on who gets water in China".
