The price of progress in China

China is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, which every year produces more harmful emissions into the earth's atmosphere.

Because of the abundance of smog, and the constant haze over the city, the Chinese authorities decided to produce a large-scale revision in the field of transport. The government had imposed a single criterion for emissions, which must comply with each car.

Each year the owners of vehicles tested for emissions into the atmosphere and those cars which are not immediately sent to landfill.

As a result of such drastic measures, every year hundreds of thousands of vehicles fill the legal and illegal landfills.

Most landfills in small towns can't cope with the volume, with the result that they formed whole mountains of discarded cars, scooters, motorcycles and buses.

So you realized the full extent of air pollution in China, you should know that in 2013, the capital of China from the 365 days of the year there were 239 days, when the smog fills the city.

When the smog is particularly densely populates city schools cancel classes, and airports to postpone their flights.

We can only hope that the radical measures taken by the authorities of China will help to remove the gray haze from the cities of China, otherwise, gray will be able enveloping the country, and will add another huge dumps of iron.
