China tops world for air pollution and carbon emissions, officials admit

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei one of planet’s most polluted regions, but ‘lack of funding hampers progress on 2017 clean-up targets’


China tops the world in almost all types of air pollution, including sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, as well as carbon emissions, top mainland officials admitted.

The officials also told a Guangdong forum that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region’s ­huge industrial output meant it was one of most polluted areas in the world.


Note: China and India have severe air pollution challenges. Both China and India are ranked as most polluted.

Those are the headline findings from a major new survey of 3,000 residents of Chinese cities carried out by IPSOS and commissioned by the Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association.
