Air
pollution in Japan
by Satoko takemura, Han wook kim
One of the most serious problems in Japan is
air pollution. According to the Encyclopedia
of the Nations, “Japan
had the world's fourth highest level of industrial carbon dioxide emissions,
which totaled 1.09 billion metric tons per year, a per capita level of 8.79
metric tons per year.” Chronic bronchitis and routine cold from smog have
become the biggest diseases for the Japanese.
The main cause of the air
pollution is using motor vehicles. According to a study by Webjapan, 80%
of the nitrogen oxides were made by cars. In sum, air pollution is the serious
problem in Japan, and it keeps people from healthy lives.
