    See all the stains on the sides of those buildings? That's air pollution. The rain washes it out of the air and leaves it on buildings. Imagine living there for a couple of years, you get that in your lungs.

      Is it? Concrete looks like that without air pollution, too. Though Chongqing does have plenty of air pollution.

        Isn't Chongqing located between a couple of moutains, which traps the hot air (with all its polutants) among the residents? I seem to remember somebody pointing out that Chongqing had the same geographical problems as Los Angeles had in it's early industrial phase.

          Yeah they get inversions.

          Someday they'll eliminate burning stuff and it'll clear up, but that will be a significant transition.

      So that is where we have outsourced all our pollution to. I wonder if we could calculate how many funcopops it took for each case of lung cancer
