The analysis of the anthropogenic air pollution in China
This article describes the energy structure changes in China occurred during the country industrialization. The basic air polluting substances are determined. In addition, the industries that make the greatest contribution to air pollution are identified, the emissions dynamics is analyzed, and the urban pollution level assessment is made. The analysis of the results shows that in the country there is an extremely unfavorable situation for the population. Energy consumption growth leads to constant air emissions. There are significantly high pollutants concentrations of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matters in many cities. In addition, every year there is a slight emissions amount increase. Critical environmental situation in China at this stage of the development suggests a pressing need for urgent actions, the basis of which should be adequate environmental policy.
