The most serious environmental problem in the North China is air pollution. Since breathing is the most basic human function required to survive, air pollution will affect everyone’s daily life and most importantly, our health.
Some obvious causes of air pollution would be cars and power plants. Oil and natural gas are the major producers of exhaust gas. These pollutants can cause lung irritation and inhibit the body’s ability to fight off disease such as influenza and pneumonia. However, there are many not so obvious products that you may use everyday will cause potential damage. For example, those pollutants from cars and power plants are decomposed by sunlight and immediately with oxygen to form another kind of pollutant which is ozone (O3). Ozone can cause coughing, choking, and reduced lung capacity. It can also worsen chronic respiratory diseases.
Air pollution will also affect the weather. One of the most serious weather problems which are caused by air pollution is acid rain. It can destroy crop and basify land as a result of being no more suitable for agriculture. We can’t imagine what we could eat without crop.
Last but not least, air pollution can cause other environment problems. As most scientists agree, air pollution and global warming seem to go hand in hand. We are well known that global warming is very serious environment problem which can start to melt ice and cause flooding. We have to solve air pollution and global warming together to prevent those balefulness from happening.
In conclusion, air pollution is an important topic that the North China should focus on for the next 10 years since air is the basic element for human life. Air pollution has many causes, some are obvious that all of us know, but there are many causes are undiscovered which are more dangerous. Therefore, we should start to solve and control air pollution right now.

Yes. Air pollution is really a series problem. It affects not only China, but also the whole world. I have not seen the blue sky in my homeland for a few years already. Really hope that we can hold together and fix this problem…
Seconded my above! Blue sky is a rare thing to see in Indonesia. You can see it if it rains a lot. While, raining a lot will most likely drown Jakarta (the capital of Indonesia) with flood. Looks like everything in the environment has already messed up and yes, we as a new generation in the whole world will face enormous environmental challenges in the future if we do not start to fix it from now.
Btw, Jakarta is being drowned by flood right now because of only a simple heavy rain, and it paralyzes most of the infrastructures, flights, schools, and offices.
