China's large manufacturing plants are BELCHING out products... but not for China. The majority of China's manufactured goods are exported to the United States. The factories that manufacture these goods are causing extreme pollution of China's air. However, China, without knowing it, is also exporting its polluted smog to the United States and the Pacific islands.
The polluted air is being carried by air currents across the Pacific Ocean to the West Coast of the United States. The smog from Chinese factories is starting to cloud up West Coast cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (located in Orange County, California), this smog raises risks of respiratory disease and decreases life expectancy.
