Since 3 years ago, I have already heard and read a number of news about air pollution in China. This news described that most big cities in China were filled with haze that is made up with PM2.5. In most big cities, people have to wear mouth-muffle before they go out because if they do not do that, haze will cause huge damage to their lungs. Recently, China is so famous for its haze. Nowadays, northeastern China has worse environment because a lot of factories cause a larger number of air pollution, and southeastern China, where I come from, is following northeastern China's steps. In this case, I am interested to discover why Chinese environment has been worse and worse. Once time, I celebrated Chinese New Year with my family. When the time came to second year, I saw the sky was filled with fireworks. Every family wanted to light their celebratory fireworks, while although those fireworks made sky very beautiful, it also caused a lot of smoke that is defined as air pollution. This situation happens a lot during holiday, which causes huge damage to environment. Why does China have a serious condition of air pollution? In my opinion, I think Chinese people themselves have the greatest responsibility for air pollution because they do not pay a lot attention to protect their environment.

Firstly, the level of PM2.5 sometimes could reach to 700 in Beijing, which likes the poison for people's health.

According to those 3 articles, I am able to find they have a lot of in common. One of the most obvious common is that all of articles say that the situation of air pollution in China has been very serious problem. Most Chinese people worry about and concern about air pollution in China because they have a lot of discomfort in daily life due to haze. In my opinion, my ideas are similar with those 3 articles. Haze has become the most troubling problem in China, so everyone wants Chinese government to deal with this problem.
