If you are asked which city in the world that have the deadliest air, perhaps the Chinese capital, Beijing, could be the answer. Just imagine, breathe the same air of this city by being an active smoker!
Based on the research team of American scientists 'Berkeley Earth', breathing one day in Beijing is equivalent to 40 cigarettes smoked.
Even more dangerous, Beijing's air pollution also contains particles measuring less than 2.5 microns, allowed him to go into the deepest parts of the lungs. The effect was eerie, polluted air can cause asthma cancer, lung cancer, heart attack, until the stroke.
There are at least 83 percent of Beijing residents is currently inhaling the lethal air.
"When I was in Beijing, air pollution is at a dangerous level. Every hour there breathing reduces life expectancy by up to 20 minutes. That means that every man, woman, children in Beijing 1.5 cigarettes smoked every hour," said Richard Muller, Berkeley Earth team leader, the Daily Mail (18/08).
According to the health authorities of China, air pollution kills at least 4,000 people per day, or equal to 17 percent of deaths in China. The high pollution in China is often referred to as a result of a number of factories and power plants that generate hazardous wastes in the form of gas.
