Asian air pollution
Air pollution has long been a problem in the industrial nations of the West. It has now become an increasing source of environmental degradation in the developing nations of east Asia. China in particular, because of its rapid push to industrialize, is experiencing dramatic levels of aerosol pollution over a large portion of the country. India’s air pollution, because it is also rich in black carbon, has reached the point where scientists fear it may have already altered the seasonal climate cycle of the monsoons.
