81. The Becker-Posner Blog: China's Air Pollution-Becker fifty years ago Los Angeles was nearly ruined by smog and had to choose to deal with it before air pollution was a problem only in a few areas. http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/archives/2007/09/chinas_air_poll.html

entry archive September 09, 2007 China's Air Pollution-Becker It is more or less inevitable that China's economy will spew out a lot of pollution, given its extraordinary rate of growth for over 20 years, and the abundant supplies of coal that fuel its power generation. The important question raised by Posner is what, if anything, will induce China to cut its pollution, including the pollution that spreads internationally to its eastward Asian neighbors and countries in the western hemisphere, especially Canada and the United States. Posner emphasizes the potential for international collaboration because the harm to these affected countries will tend to exceed the cost to China from cutting its pollution. China is imposing a burden on these other nations that it does not fully incorporate into its decisions about which fuels to use, how to invest in scrubbing and sequestering technologies and equipment that reduce the amount of pollutants that its plants use, its taxation of gasoline that discourage driving and more efficient cars, and the many other ways to reduce pollution. Since greater pollution-reduction efforts would lower the growth rate of its output, the harm to other nations would not enter into its policy calculations unless forced to by threats of economic retaliation, or induced to do so by various forms of intercountry compensation and cooperation. The New York Times article referred to by Posner indicates that opposition to pollution is also growing rapidly in China itself for reasons that have little to do with protests of other countries. When countries start developing rapidly, their first concern is greater resources for consumption and investment, for they do not believe they can afford to take extensive measures to control air pollution if that slows down their growth out of poverty. As they get richer, however, concerns about the level and growth of various types of pollutants get magnified. As economies continue to develop, their citizens exert greater pressure on governments to improve air and water quality. Governments generally respond by regulating and taxing more extensively the omission of pollutants.

What is Air Pollution? Air is the ocean we breathe. Air supplies us with oxygen which is essential for our bodies to live. Air is 99.9% nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and inert gases. Human activities can release substances into the air, some of which can cause problems for humans, plants, and animals. There are several main types of pollution and well-known effects of pollution which are commonly discussed. These include smog, acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and "holes" in the ozone layer. Each of these problems has serious implications for our health and well-being as well as for the whole environment. One type of air pollution is the release of particles into the air from burning fuel for energy. Diesel smoke is a good example of this particulate matter . The particles are very small pieces of matter measuring about 2.5 microns or about .0001 inches. This type of pollution is sometimes referred to as "black carbon" pollution . The exhaust from burning fuels in automobiles, homes, and industries is a major source of pollution in the air. Some authorities believe that even the burning of wood and charcoal in fireplaces and barbeques can release significant quanitites of soot into the air. Another type of pollution is the release of noxious gases , such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and chemical vapors. These can take part in further chemical reactions once they are in the atmosphere, forming

Published by Australian Academy of Science KEY TEXT Local air pollution begins at home This topic is sponsored by BHP Local air pollution is a major health threat. It ranges in scale from cigarette smoke in a house to the photochemical smog that can cover a city. Fighting for breath What is pollution? In Australia the main contaminants of outside air are carbon monoxide nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons from vehicle exhausts; ozone (generated when oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbon compounds react in the presence of sunlight); sulfur dioxide (from the roasting of sulfur-containing mineral ores or from other industrial processes); microscopic particles (formed from most reactions involving combustion). Where does pollution come from? acid rain . In Australia we are luckier, because most of our pollution is 'home-made'. Not lucky because we have pollution, but because we can do something about it. By understanding the causes of air pollution better we will be able to improve things. The biggest single source of air pollution in Australia is the car ( Box 1: Cars ). Next comes industry and then a heap of smaller sources like backyard incinerators, cleaning chemicals, paint fumes, and even furniture and carpets (
