One-Third of China Hurt by Acid Rain
from the Boston Globe (Registration Required)
BEIJING --One-third of China's vast landmass is suffering from acid rain
caused by its rapid industrial growth, while local leaders are failing to
enforce environmental standards for fear of hurting business, said officials
quoted Sunday by state media.
China's factories spewed out 25.5 million tons of sulphur dioxide -- the
chemical that causes acid rain -- last year, up 27 percent from 2000, said
Sheng Huaren, deputy chairman of the Standing Committee of parliament.
Sheng released a report Saturday that found pollution from factories and
power plants was rising by 9 percent a year -- an embarrassment for a
government that promised this year to clean up China's air. The report said
sulphur dioxide emissions were double safe levels.
