Pollution Increasing
Atmospheric Pollution
Coal power station
Heating
First Importer of Oil since 2011

Water Pollution
Ø)
Wastes elimination by Factories
2)
Greenhouse gas Production
The most important producer of carbon dioxide
3) Bulky Wastes
•
Importation of wastes from Occidental Factories ( 70%)
•
Production of 1 million tonnes of wastes by year
•
Electronic wastes ( Jonathan Watts- When a billion Chinese jump: How China will save Mankind-or destroy it)
4) Natural resources Over-exploitation
•

•
Water:
Unchecked farmlands irrigation
Hydroelectric project within Himalaya
Natural Resources: Coal
5) Desertification
•
Deforestation
•
Lakes and Tides Drainage
•
Waste of arable lands
•
1/3 of the country is desert
6) Ecosystem Degradation
Conclusion:
All the precedents points contribute towards the Ecosystem degradation: Ø
Endangered species (White Dolphin, Panda,…)
Ø
Ice melt of the Himalaya

Impacts:
Ecosystem : the butterfly effect of desertification.
Pollution decrease the life of China’s population.
Tourism is decreasing because of the pollution.
Costs:
Difficult to reverse the trend.
China spend $275 billion to fight pollution.
To fight smog, Hong Kong commits $1,3 billion.
