Following the birth of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, an emphasis on the de-velopment of state-owned heavy industry in urban areas left a legacy of large point sources of air and water pollution. Eco-nomic reforms introduced in 1978 have sparked rapid growth in industrial output accom-panied by increasing pollution discharges into ur-ban airsheds andwater courses. Residential waste has intensified the industrial pollution problem. Con-sumption increases caused by growth in household incomes are propelling concomitant growth in per capita solid waste generation. As millions of unem-ployed farmers migrate to urban areas, pollution problems are exacerbated by untreated sewage and the burning of coal for domestic heating and cook-ing. Arapidly expanding transportation sector threat-ens to become a significant source of air pollution in China’s larger cities.
