Topic # 2 – South China and Environmental Protection
Introduction
China has exceptionally increased its economic growth by now and become a bright example of progress in the least course of time. Superpower of the world and other European countries are appreciating its huge success in true words. However, this success is not without the costs of several problems, prevailing within China. Environmental issues are the major ones especially in South China and include increased water and air pollution, deforestation and loss of natural resources. Experts discuss that if China continues to allow environmental issues to be increased with the same intensity, its economic growth is definitely going to be affected severely. The health of the citizen is correspondingly at immense risk. This writing composition will deal with all the environmental issues and what are the best probable ways to protect the environment of South China to a large extent.
Environmental Issues in South China
Water resources are getting worse in South China as much of the freshwater has been polluted. Metals which are released from industry, have polluted the water with unbearable levels. Organic levels and sediments are ruining the rivers to an alarming extent. Furthermore, the nitrate and phosphorous quantities in rivers due to the unnatural fertilizers and improper sewage system, are uninterruptedly making the water awfully useless and even dangerous. When these rivers discharge this increased nutrient water in the China Sea, the red tides come to happen. These tides kill the fishes or make them inconsumable for humans. This factor is certainly affecting the aquaculture industry of China. Polluted water immensely creates unacceptable health issues which cannot be ignored. Other than that, the geographical distribution of water within China plus the seasonal changing in the availability of water, is causing tremendous deficiency of water in many eras of China.
Quality of air is the most threatening environmental issue that is endlessly existing within China. Public health is in great danger due to the polluted air. Sulphur dioxide and other gasses are existing in the air which causes the 36 percent of deaths in the country. World Health Organization has titled the air of China with the least dimensions as compared to the standard. This polluted air is the big reason for respiratory disease which contributes greatly to death reasons in China.
South China is losing its forest cover to a significant scale. World Resources Institute reports that China has lost its area of forest and woodland up to 6.5% in recent years of 2015 to 2018. Consequently, in the present year China is somehow possessing the 11% of the area regarding forest cover and woodland (Nguyen 97). This statics is the lowest one as compared to the other countries in Asia. This factor is changing the climate to a hot one in China to the most prominent level which can be an immensely troublesome aspect in the recent future.
Ways to Protect the Environment
To protect the environment, industrial wastes and sewages should be treated while getting discharged in the water sources. Fast industrialization has come about to t...
