The air pollution in Taiwan is getting worse these days. We can easily see mist every day out the window or on the streets which makes mountains disappear. Air pollution can lead to diseases such as lung cancer, COPD, and even heart diseases. In fact, over 5000 people die of diseases directly related to poor air quality every year in Taiwan.
People in Taiwan use to blame on the transborder air pollution from China. But the truth is, over 63% of the pollution comes from our domestic transportation and industrial waste. It turns out that our environmental laws are not strict enough. But because of some political reasons, people deny that the pollution comes from ourselves.
