- Synopsis
- China suffers from a range of environmental pollution problems: air, water, soil, electronic waste, noise, and light. But air, water, and soil pollution and the scourge of electronic waste have been the most environmentally costly and have had the most dramatic effects on public health. In Environmental Pollution in China: What Everyone Needs to Know, Daniel K. Gardner examines the range of factors -- economic, social, political, and historical -- contributing to the degradation of China's environment. He also covers the public response to the widespread pollution; the measures the government is taking to clean up the environment; and the country's efforts to lessen its dependence on fossil fuels and develop clean sources of energy. Concise, accessible, and authoritative, this book serves as an ideal primer on one of the world's most challenging environmental crises.
