Organic Polutants and Pesticides (in Beijing)

Living in Beijing China, I am incredibly aware of pollution; I am sure we all are, and that we all hate it, but when one thinks about it, one must come to grips with a sense of self enlightenment and try to understand why exactly the pollution is at such an extreme level. Despite much anticipation and excitement over the topic of discovering and colonising other inhabitable planets, so far that section of science has …

…the number one most polluted city in the entire world, and that just living in Beijing has the equivalent effects on your health as if you were to smoke 17 cigarettes a day in an unpolluted city. This is a shocking fact which hopefully will make that little force within us just a little bit more determined to make this city the cleanest place on earth, or at least a bit cleaner than it is now.
