- Background
- 30 million people employed in manufacturing there.
- located in SE China next to the South China Sea.
- China's Pearl River Delta
- Causes
- Home to the sixth largest container terminal globally
- Shenzehn produces 70% of the world's photocopiers
- Dongguan - 80 000 people employed in a single factory making running shoes
- Consequences
- Air pollution:
- Factories produce SO2, CO2 and NOxs. These form acid rain.
- In 2007, 45% of all rain in the province was classified as acid rain, and 2/3rds of Guangdong's 21 cities were affected by acid rain.
- Factories produce SO2, CO2 and NOxs. These form acid rain.
- Deforestation:
- a reduction in vegetation cover causes increased erosion
- Waterpollution
- 50% of Guangdong's wastewater is untreated compared to a 40% nationally.
