Coal pollution and global warming in Linfen China
LINFEN, SHANXI, CHINA-
A man wears a mask as he rides a bike to work in the polluted town of Linfen. Linfen, a city of about 4.3 million, is one of the most polluted cities in the world. China’s increasingly polluted environment is largely a result of the country’s rapid development and consequently a large increase in primary energy consumption, which is almost entirely produced by burning coal.
