1. Introduction:
Air pollution is an all-time problem that Hong Kong faces after the development of commerce and industries. For the past decades, rapid growth in economy raises the living standard, together with the enormous increase in population, extremely heavy traffic and the building of skyscrapers besides streets, worsen the problem of air pollution in Hong Kong.
In this project, we would like to briefly introduce the sources and effects of the air pollution in Hong Kong, the policy of the HKSAR government, and measures and suggestions of the improvement of air quality.
2. Sources of Air Pollution:
Air pollution is caused by numbers of air pollutant. An air pollutant is a substance that is present in
