Even though China has bad pollution, it not only affects their country but also others. In China today, their pollution has become a huge problem due to industrial industry, pollution has increased enormously. Factories that contribute to pollution make products for other countries. Huge factories, industrial facilities and power plants that produce huge amounts of air pollutants (earthsky.org). Factories release harsh chemicals such as black carbon and sulfur dioxide. Black carbon is a chemical that is released into the air by tiny particles when fossil fuels are burned to produce energy. When these pollutants are expelled en masse, it creates a dense layer of fog. China is not the only country affected. Other countries, such as the United States, are affected. Even though the United States is miles away from China, its pollution slowly spreads across the Pacific Ocean to America.

Statistics have shown that elements of matter pass through the ozone layer to create dense fog. For example nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide.
