Because Linfen is located in the middle of China’s colt belt, its residents must breathe air thick with coal dust and deal with arsenic-laden drinking water. It is said that if a person were to hang their laundry out to dry here, it would turn black from all the industrial pollutants in the air!
However, China’s environmental misconduct does not end with Linfen. The World Bank claims that 16 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world are Chinese. China is also reportedly responsible for one-third of the sulfur dioxide, nitrogen, and ozone that is polluting our air worldwide.
