Impacts of Coal Pollution in China

Coal in China
China is the most populous country in Asia. The Republic of China has become a major world power through its industries and technology. The growth of the country has seen the growth of many industries that contribute to the economic growth of the country. The Republic of China is currently the country that consumes coal resources the most (Reid, 1996). It is also set to be the leading consumer country of coal driven electricity. China is the leader in having coal mining. It poses a great health hazard to the Chinese people and leads to massive pollution (Thomas, 1983).
China’s heavy dependence on coal has made it to be the world’s largest country that emits carbon dioxide. This is contributed by the coal mining industries and the high population in China. Coal is mainly used for four purposes in China (Connie, 2011). It is used to generate electricity. In fact, it is the leading producer of electricity. It is also used for industrial uses (e.g. the steel industry). Coal is produced for domestic use; however, it is illegal to burn coal in cities’ and towns’ areas. The usage of coal is only permitted in the rural areas. What is more, the coal is used in homes for cooking. China also uses coal as one of the sources for trade with other countries (Maxine, 2004).
Air Pollution Through Coal
Incineration of coal releases dangerous gases which are also toxic. Some of the gases produced are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury. Nitrogen oxide, when emitted, reacts with unstable macrobiotic compounds in order to produce fog. Nitrogen oxide also leads to the formation of soot. Soot and fog are both harmful to human health (Ricky, 2010). Nitrogen oxide acidifies lakes and water catchment areas. Sulfur dioxide leads to the formation of soot and causes respiratory diseases. Combustion of coal reveals traces of mercury that are found in coal. When coal is burned, the mercury is emitted in the environment and affects humans. While burning plants with the help of coal, fly ash and dust emit and this process leads to the air pollution. Waste products from coal emit close to twenty toxic substances of chemicals (e.g. arsenic, nickel, cadmium, molybdenum, radium, selenium, zinc, vanadium and mercury). Coal, that has weathered, increases the temperatures in the ground when they are left unattended to (Michael, 2012).
Human Health Impact of Coal Pollution in China
Coal pollution has adversely contributed to air pollution in China in general. When coal is burned, it emits dangerous gases that pollute the air. These gases affect human beings in various ways and lead to death. The gases act on the respiratory system, causing a number of respiratory diseases (Henry, 1993). They also trigger asthma attacks, especially among children. Other respiratory diseases caused by coal pollution include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer (Scott, 2011).
Coal pollution also leads to cardiovascular effects. Long term exposure to coal pollution leads to cardiovascular mortality. It also affects the nervous system. The traces of mercury found in coal affect the nervous system causing memory loss. Because of a great amount of effects that coal pollution may bring, the rate of human death in China increases as well (Mark, 2001).
Conclusion
China is the leading producer of coal in the world. The natural resource is used for energy purposes, domestic use and for trade with other countries. Coal mining, however, comes with its own disadvantages. Burning of coal produces dangerous gases that pose a great threat to human life. Coal pollution leads to respiratory disease and diseases that affect the nervous system. Moreover, coal pollution leads to acidic rain that contaminates water catchment areas and an increase in number of deaths.

I had to turn on my laptop for the express purpose of writing to you. I had to let you know what lifesavers you people are! I had never even considered hiring a professional writer to help me and was almost resigned to dropping out of school altogether. Then, I thought about it, and asked myself what it would hurt to try EssaysEmpire.com for just one paper. That paper was written astonishingly well! From that one paper, I learned many of the things that I did not know about writing. It was perfect, so I learned all about formatting in the APA style. I learned a lot, so I want to thank you for that. |

| You guys are fabulous to offer such amazing guarantees for your work. I hired you for my last two papers because there was no risk involved. That was a pretty attractive option, if you ask me. Of course, I didnРІР‚в„ўt have to cash in on any kind of guarantee, because the work was perfect! Go figure. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com. | ||

Thanks goes out to the writer who filled my order. He did everything right the first time around. I had to ask for one tiny revision, but that was my own fault for leaving it out of the directions. |

I am completely satisfied with the paper I purchased from your company. I only wish I had known about you last year when I took an F grade for not being able to complete a paper on time. The work you did was marvelous. Whenever I find myself falling behind in my school work, I will be sure to pass along some of my more difficult written assignments to you |

I was trying to choose between EssaysEmpire.com and another online writing service and I didn’t know which one to pick. Then, I began to read reviews. I didn’t read even one thing negative about EssaysEmpire.com, and the other site was fraught with complaints. I went with EssaysEmpire.com, and it turned out that all the good things I had read about the service were true. My paper was fully guaranteed, but it was A-1 quality. The customer service people were great. The prices were right. Now, I am a devoted fan. When I need help with my writing, I go straight to EssaysEmpire.com! |

Writer #48376 was very easy to work with. My professor made some changes to his requirements after he had assigned the paper. All I had to do was call your customer service and request to speak with the writer directly. Was able to relay the changes that my professor wanted, and he (writer #48376) accommodated them with no problem. I thought that was great. No headaches and perfect work. I couldn’t ask for a better experience! |

I had a question about the pricing. As I glanced through the EssaysEmpire.com website, I noticed that they were offering a lot for not all that much money. I spoke to a customer service person and she told me that the prices I saw on the website were accurate. Therefore, I ordered my first paper, not expecting all that much. What I got back was a brilliantly written essay that earned an A+ mark! Wow! I am impressed! |

So often, when one deals with customer service, he or she is treated rudely. That was not the case with EssaysEmpire.com. The agents were helpful and friendly, knowledable and concerned. I, for one, was astounded with their competence. When it came down to the actual written material that I ordered, it was much better than I had anticipated. There are clearly some expert writers who work for EssaysEmpire.com. I would rate this writing service as exceptional, 5 stars out of 5 stars. I will happily return when I need help with another written work. |
