In the past forty years, the Chinese economy has developed rapidly. This tremendous
change has increased people’s incomes and created many career opportunities. However,
while people celebrate this as a national success, it has also brought many challenges,
particularly damage to the environment.
Studies indicate that different forms of pollution will directly, or indirectly, affect children’s
health. Everyone hopes that our next generation can live under blue skies, have fresh air
to breathe and clean water to drink.
