China is facing a serious environmental problem. Fast paced construction of Olympic related buildings coupled with its economic productivity proved to be very environmentally costly to China. Examples like waste water flushed out from chemical and paper manufacturing industries is polluting and poisoning rivers and lakes all over the country. Mishaps at chemical plants often hit news headlines. Their steel and cement production is probably the world’s largest and also contributes smog and CO2 emissions to its highest levels. The air pollution in Beijing, which is brought by the combined and widespread use of cars and factory emissions, prevents Beijing residents from enjoying clear sunlight. The spread of acid rain and the pollution of oceans beyond China’s borders is clearly becoming a global problem.
