Air pollution is becoming a major problem in China. China has been creating a lot air pollutants affecting its neighbouring countries. Hong Kong which has not much industrial activities has been affected very badly by the pollution created in China. Smog becomes very common during winter as the wind carries a lot of pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxided, carbon monoxide, and ozone from the north (China).

The short film was taken at around 8 am on May 7 2007 which was a Monday morning. There had been virtually no activities going on in Hong Kong but still pollutants were blown from Mainland China to Hong Kong.

The major cause of pollution in Guangdong is believed to be power generation. The Mainland Chinese Communist government has been unable to control power generation by illegal power plants using low quality coal probably without any filtering. The Mainland Chinese Communist government has said repeatedly that it will reduce pollution; however, there is strong evidence that air pollution is increasing rather than reducing! Hong Kong is the victim of Mainland China’s economic growth.

Nov 2007
In the past six years, infant birth defects in China have increased by an unprecedented 40%. This rise is being blamed on pollution from factories. Now green campaigners are taking on the multinationals.
“The untreated waste is pumped out secretly at night”, states activist Wu Deng Ming, pointing at a water outlet leading from a factory into a river. “People living along the river have enlarged livers”, claims one local. They suffer from: “loss of appetite or cancer and all sorts of terminal diseases”. Although strong laws governing pollution exist, these are regularly flouted. “Some local officials give protection to polluters”, claims Ma Jun. In an attempt to put pressure on polluters, campaigners are naming and shaming guilty companies online. “We let people know that this company, with such a popular brand, is violated waste water discharge standards”. There are also signs that central government is taking the problem more seriously. “The state is very serious about environmental problems”, states official Zhou Linbo. Some factories have been closed down. But strong resistance to change still exists. “Polluting factories hire hooligans to deal with people they believe will damage their reputation”, claims Wu Deng Ming. Other companies threaten to relocate to Vietnam or Indonesia where; “we can still discharge more of less freely”.

February 18, 2009 lecture by Brent Constanz for the Woods Energy Seminar (ENERGY301). In his talk “A Pathway for Widespread Utilization of Geothermal Energy–the Roles of Multi-scale Resource and Technology Research and Systems Analysis,” Brent Constanz states that concrete is the most used product worldwide next to water and he suggests that we could safely, cheaply, and quickly store carbon dioxide in concrete at the rate of about six billion yards per year.

The Woods Energy Seminar is an interdisciplinary series of talks primarily by Stanford experts on a broad range of energy topics.
