 | Longing for Blue Skies - Clean air in China Air pollution in an unfortunate consequence of China's recent rapid development. The 2008 Olympics are focusing global attention on Beijing's air quality. Despite government efforts to control the problem, it remains a serious challenge for both China and the world. |
 | Will China's Environmental Crisis Overshadow the Olympics China's economy is soaring but with that expansion also comes concerns over its extreme pollution. But the Chinese government is trying to polish its environmental image. Digital Journal TV finds out what China is doing to clean up the mess. Digital Journal -- A booming economy. Heavy auto traffic. Horrible air quality. Combine all these ingredients and China wins the award for one of the most dangerously polluted countries in the world. With the 2008 Olympics looming, China is desperately trying to give the impression of a country working to combat these environmental problems. Will the public be convinced? There is no shortage of bad news for eco-watchers worried about China's toxic contributions: more than 3 million cars travel through Beijing's streets; among world capitals, only Cairo has worse air quality than Beijing; and one-third of all river water has been rated at its most degraded level, unfit for agricultural or even industrial use. This is a tough nightmare scenario for China to spin in its favor. Look at how the New York Times explained the consequences of China's pollution: "An internal, unpublicized report by the Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning in 2003 estimated that 300,000 people die each year from ambient air pollution, mostly of heart disease and lung cancer. An additional 110,000 deaths could be attributed to indoor air pollution caused by poorly ventilated coal and wood stoves or toxic fumes from shoddy construction materials, said a person involved in that study." But the Chinese government is doing what it can to purify the air, water and land before the world turns its attention to the Communist country. Find out what China is working on to kill its pollution in a Digital Journal TV report, complete with footage from the Asia Society. It's not too late yet for China, and DigitalJournal.com Editor-in-Chief, Chris Hogg, explains why. |
 | Atmospheric Particulates: Global and Regional Challenges As climate change increases the likelihood of wildfires in California, megacities in developing countries burn more fossil fuels and coastal cities striving to meet air quality standards deal with rising amounts of particulate emissions from ships, what does the future hold for the air we breathe? Three prominent atmospheric chemistry experts at UC San Diego discuss their latest research on atmospheric aerosols and explain how these microscopic particles in the atmosphere affect our health, environment and global climate change.
