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 appreciate the help your wring service gave me with my biology paper. I have never cared much for biology. It is a tough subject for me to grasp. This is why I needed so much help with my paper. The writer absolutely understood the whole topic and turned out work that would have made anyone proud. Thanks a million for the great paper. |

Today was the perfect day to make an A+! It convinced me that there are solutions to problems that seem impossible to solve. When I realized that the due date for my paper was coming up quickly, I felt like there was nothing I could do. If I didn’t hand in my paper on time, I would get an F and fail the course. However, I had to study for 3 major exams and write two other papers. My roommate suggested that I turn the paper over to you guys, which I did, and voila! I got an A+ on it and the problem was solved. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com and to your writers and staff. You are a great writing service. |

I had a hard time articulating what my professor wanted, so I was able to speak straight to my writer. After I had explained a little bit, I could tell he understood everything. He then took the ball and ran with it, so to speak. He wrote my paper in two days and it was the picture of perfection! I am very grateful that he knew what to do and how to do it so perfectly. |

The writers are the best in the business. I am pleased with the results of my last three orders and plan to return for more soon. |

One of the things that I appreciate most about EssaysEmpire.com, is that they don’t resell your paper. Only you own it, if you hire them to write something. Other writing services that I have used, just circulate the same paper over and over, and if you get caught turning one in, too bad. You are expelled. EssaysEmpire.com will even give you a plagiarism report after they run it through their anti-plagiarism check. Such details set EssaysEmpire.com above the rest. |

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! |

There are four things that I look for in a good writing service. #1. They have to be fast. A good writing service won’t miss an important deadline. #2. A good writing service will let customers actually talk to the writer who is working on their customer’s papers, so the customer can work out important details. #3. A good writing service will have a user-friendly website that is easy for the customer to use and #4, a good writing service will offer quality guarantees. EssaysEmpire.com meets all of this criteria and more. EssaysEmpire.com is the best writing service and has the reputation to prove it. I wouldn’t even consider using another writing service since experiencing the excellence that is EssaysEmpire.com! |

Given the short amount of time I gave your writers to create my term paper, I was amazed by how good it was when I received it back! It appeared they had spent months writing it, rather than just one week. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com! I enjoyed doing business with you. You are a fabulous writing company. |

I ordered two papers from you at once. Both of them had strict deadlines and not that much time left. Your writers managed to get both papers to me on time, and both of them received high marks. I am so happy about this! |

Your writer did a great job on my history paper. I didn’t have to lift a finger, yet I received an A+. I read the paper and felt like I learned an entire semester’s worth of information. That’s how good it was! |

Your writing service is phenomenal. I love the fact that EssaysEmpire.com is even open on Christmas day. You never close, and that tells me that you are dedicated to students like me who might need help over the holidays or any time. The work you do is superior to that of other writing services. I’d say that overall, one simply can’t beat EssaysEmpire.com. Thanks for all that you do for students like me. |
