China To Conduct First Nationwide Study Of Pollution Sources

China's cities have become among the most polluted in the world after more than two decades of rapid economic growth. While the country's communist leaders have repeatedly promised a cleanup, they say they are constrained by the expanding economy and a lack of technology. Last year, SEPA said China's environmental problems were worsening, with several major rivers and lakes clogged by industrial waste. Air pollution has been a worry for Beijing as it gears up for the Olympic Games in August. Some believe China has surpassed the U.S. as the world's top emitter of carbon dioxide and other gases that contribute to global warming. http://www.canadianbusiness.com/markets/market_news/article.jsp?content=D8TV8UFG0
