Lung cancer cases linked to air quality! What's the solution to that?!


A type of lung cancer reported to be increasing in Beijing has been linked to worsening air quality, with an expert warning that the potential health impact could be much greater than the SARS epidemic in 2003.

"The proportion of lung adenocarcinoma cases is increasing," said Wang Ning, deputy director of the Beijing Office for Cancer Prevention and Control, adding that there has been a drop in the proportion of squamous cell lung cancer cases in the capital.

Adenocarcinoma of the lung is a common histological form of lung cancer that contains certain distinct malignant tissue, while the other type is a form of non-small-cell lung cancer.

Medical experts believe that smoking is more likely to cause squamous cell lung cancer, while exposure to air pollution, such as exhaust gases and secondhand smoking, is more likely to cause adenocarcinoma of the lung, Wang said.

Zhong Nanshan, an academic at the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases, said that without timely intervention, pollution could have a potential health impact much greater than that of the SARS epidemic.

Zhong also said that severe pollution could result in low birth weight and premature births.

He said there has been an increasing number of studies on the relationship between air quality and health, and he referred to one linking exposure to air pollution and traffic fumes to low birth weight.

This study found that for every 10-microgram increase in PM2.5 per cubic meter, the incidences of premature birth increased by 3 to 5 percent, while average birth weights were lowered by 8.9 grams.

PM2.5 particles are air pollutants with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less, small enough to invade the smallest airways.

Some public health experts have forecast that in five to seven years, China will see a substantial increase in diseases including lung cancer and cardiovascular conditions, Zhong said.

Wang’s findings on cancer resulted from a study she led that was published in the Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine in March 2011. Wang and her co-workers examined cases of lung cancer diagnosed at Beijing hospitals from 1998 to 2007.

"Of the city’s lung cancer cases that were histologically diagnosed, the proportion of squamous cell lung cancer decreased yearly from 30.41 percent in 1998 to 24.16 percent. Meanwhile, the proportion of lung adenocarcinoma increased from 42.83 percent to 46.80 percent," the study found.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer, under the World Health Organization, has also linked lung cancer to air pollution.

In October 2013, the IARC said that outdoor air pollution was a leading environmental cause of cancer.

"After thoroughly reviewing the latest available scientific literature, the world’s leading experts, convened by the IARC, said there is sufficient evidence that exposure to outdoor air pollution causes lung cancer," the agency said.


Beijing hospitals have reported a rise in patients seeking treatment for respiratory problems since smog descended on the capital seven days ago.

Zhao Hongmei, a respiratory medicine doctor at Beijing Bo’ai Hospital, said her department has been overwhelmed by patients.

"Usually, a doctor in my department sees 40 to 50 patients every morning. Now, the number has risen to 70," she said. "We have been working at full capacity since Spring Festival."

She said the number of patients in their 30s and 40s has increased markedly since the smog arrived.

"Most showed symptoms such as coughing and discomfort in the throat, but X-rays showed their lungs were not infected.’’

Zhou Jipu, a doctor in the respiratory department at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said he has seen an increase in elderly patients with underlying diseases in his department since Spring Festival, and smog has worsened their conditions.

Currently, environmentally friendly form of grim. So, what's the solution to that? More and more people are beginning to realize the urgent need of fighting the air pollution. However, air pollution control is a long task for human beings. Now the only thing we could do is that try to reduce emission.


Green Travel is a good way to solve this problem, engine carbon cleaning can also take effective measures. Presently, many countries around the world use HHO Carbon Clean Machine to remove carbon from engine to meet energy-efficiency.HHO Carbon Clean Machine

The Last Day of Human

At the BBC's annual Reith Lectures, physicist Stephen Hawking predicted some reasons that could lead to the end of the world. However, to a large extent it made in human. "Although the chance of a disaster to planet Earth in a given year may be quite low, it adds up over time, and becomes a near certainty in the next thousand or ten thousand years," he told the BBC. "By that time we should have spread out into space, and to other stars, so a disaster on Earth would not mean the end of the human race," Hawking says.

According to Oxfords reports, there are 12 reasons may lead to the end of the world. Among them, The Worldwide Epidemic and Environmental Degradation remained the top of the reasons.  We must prepared early on. Hawking said,  It may not happen in the last hundred years. Its going to happen, but its not unavoidable. I am a optimist and I believe that advances in science and technology will avoid crisis in the future.


The Worldwide Epidemic

Hawking warns that genetically engineered viruses could wipe out entire populations. Genes operate in ways that are not fully understood. Modifying one part of DNA doesn't always have the intended resultinstead, it can create other unintended consequences, like the development of uncontrollable viruses. It could be only a matter of time before antibiotic-resistant viruses that we never imagined could exist actually develop, Hawking says.

But the really scary part is that the prediction is happening.

May 26th 2016, American scientist found the first case of super bacteria which has all the features of The Worldwide Epidemic: Incurable (as Ebola virus) , has much more lethal form (as hydrophobia) , has more strong infectious ability (as influenza) , has long incubation period (as Aids).

The Centers for Disease Control reported this May that this strain of bacteria has now been found in a 49-year-old woman in Pennsylvania. The supervisor of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told the meeting the outbreak is "not winding down" and "widespread transmission" continues.  Its very dangerous. the supervisor said. The CDC says there have been 5,469 confirmed cases across most of the United States, but Schuchat has said this is only the tip of the iceberg.

But how to solve this problems? The scientists could not find a way to help this. The World Health Organization has declared the super bacteria a "public health emergency of international concern" that could become a pandemic, or global outbreak of serious disease.


Environmental Degradation

The end of the world in various editions has massive natural disasters. Environmental Degradation will take global warming, toxic oceans, species extinction and so on. We have ourselves to blame most of the time, scientists and disaster experts say.

According to AP, more than food crises, global warming threatens to create serious harm to the planet. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said that we are generally thought that high temperature and carbon dioxide has the benefit for plants, but actually it reduced grain production. Because of global warming, the data show that the rate of production increase has been ratcheting downward, even some regions consecutive months the production rate of zero phenomenon.

 It is a disaster. the supervisor of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said,  An developed country can supply food to its citizen, but the developing country cannot always produce enough food for its own need.

But the influence is not restricted to earth surface, oceans have also been deeply reflecting. Rising sea-surface temperatures and increasing acidification only exacerbate marine ecology problem.

This is not a problem of shortage. As everyone knows,global warming could result in a significant rise of sea levels. That means 40% of human who live near the ocean will have turbulent life of swaying. Their very existence is now endangered by changes in ocean movement and rising sea temperatures, which also threaten the entire reef ecosystem.

Worst of all, by 2100, this could have altered two-thirds of the rainforests in Central and South America, about 70 per cent in Africa. Besides climate change, the collapse of the earth's ecology is also a future danger. The greenhouse effect, the acid rain, the pollution and the felling tropical rain forest can change the ecosystem. Whole populations of animals are in danger of disappearing.

 In this case, reduce the carbon emissions and developing low-carbon economy become a pressing task for every country. Carbon emissions must be reduced (worldwide) at 10% annually if catastrophic climate change is to be avoided. the supervisor of TCG said.

According to investigation, when car is working, spark plug ignites fuel and combustion produces power. This process will produce a large number of nitrogen dioxide, it will increase acidic material in atmosphere and cause acid rain.



Fortunately, every government is acutely aware of the severity of the problem and is working to fix the problems. There are no two ways about it: to have any chance of avoiding the disastrous consequences of exceeding our carbon budget, we must usher in a new era of low-carbon societies.

In China, Mexico, USA, Canada, Singapore, India, Malaysia and etc, they used a newest technology to solve the problem of excess carbon emission.  Its a newest carbon clean machine. If the car carbon emission is the 60% of global carbon emission, the HHO Carbon Clean Machine can reduce the carbon emission as much as 80%.  The director of Singapore environmental protection agency said,  We are plan to introduce the HHO carbon Clean Machine into our market and wish to make a contribution to our environment.

Torrential rains wreak havoc across China

After the warmest May month in a 137-year period, torrential rains wreak havoc across China. China on orange alert for rainstorms, because rain continues across China and after heavy rain caused the water level in the river to rise.

Relentless rain continued to wreak havoc in several Chinese provinces last Tuesday, disrupting train services, flooding highways and forcing thousands of people to evacuate their inundated homes.

Thunderstorms battered the provinces of Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Anhui last Monday and Tuesday. Continuous rainstorms swept through a number of areas in China, soaking residents with renewed troubles.

At 11:30 am on last Tuesday, floods followed heavy rains in You-yang county of Chongqing municipality, pouring into the Ma'anshan Tunnel and trapping many cars and buses, the Chongqing Times reported. At least 150 people have been rescued from their vehicles, the report said, adding that other rescue efforts are continuing.

Two people were killed and another is missing after a rainstorm pounded a county in Guizhou province from last Monday evening to last Tuesday morning, Xinhua News Agency reported.

The county seat of Zhijin was inundated by floods. Electrical power, traffic and communication in the area were disrupted, the agency quoted the local publicity department as saying. The storm flooded 783 homes and damaged 1,223 hectares of cropland, it said. The storm also triggered 60 mudslides in Zhijin. Fifteen vehicles were reported to have been washed away by floods, and all the township's communications were cut off. On last Sunday, the local authorities said the fierce storm on last Thursday had killed 99 people, injured 846 and turned thousands of people's homes into rubble.

The disaster-hit area has received help from all sections of society, with donations from nearby cities and enterprises. However, most donations were of bottled water and instant food, and there was still a shortage of mats, mosquito repellent and flashlights.

Steven, the KingKars leader, donated a large number of bottled water, instant food, some mats and flashlights to disaster areas. The relief goods has filled the settlement's warehouses. "We can only stack the relief goods outdoors now. " A flood victim said.

Two rail routes in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality, linking the southwestern provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou, were impassable affecting more than 50 passenger trains. "Thousands of passengers had to be transferred onto replacement bus services." Railway authorities said.

The deadlock was made worse after a landslide covered a section of track linking Chengdu and Chongqing last Monday. Railway authorities have sent more than 140 workers, two excavators and four drills to clear the rubble and reinforce the roadbed.

The stormy weather also plagued drivers in Hunan. XiangYin County, which near the Dongting Lake, was flooded yesterday and 60 people, in two buses and 10 cars, were stranded for several hours before they were evacuated.

Hunan has suffered the most in the latest round of bad weather, which began last week. In Yueyang City, more than 212.4 mm of rain fell from last week to yesterday.

An expressway bridge under construction collapsed because of the rain around 10 a.m. Monday morning in Yiyang City, Hunan, creating a barrier lake near a national-level road. The flooding has disrupted traffic along the road.

Also in Yiyang City, around 3 tonnes of gasoline and diesel oil leaked out of a gas station at 3 a.m. Monday, forcing nearby residents to temporarily relocate, according to the city publicity department. The contaminated floodwater flowed into a nearby river, and authorities are monitoring the water quality and are prepared for an emergency response plan for drinking water contamination.

More torrential rain is expected this week in the province, according to meteorological authorities in Hunan. It also warned of landslides, floods and other geological disasters.

Xiang River, a tributary to the Yangtze River, is dangerously high. A flood crest reached and inundating many riverside homes and stores. "The flood happened so suddenly. I had no time to move any of my stock," according to Mr Huang, an auto-parts shop owner. "All I can do is wait until the flood subsides to see if anything can be saved."

It is unknown when the rail service will return to normal and nobody knows what will happen in the future, the government of China just only prevent. There is, however, only so much that government intervention can achieve. The heavy storm hit 114,000 hectares of crops and collapsed 596 houses and caused a direct economic loss of 1.11 billion yuan ($166 million), according to preliminary statistics. Firefighters fight against the flood in disaster areas, and all government officials canceled their holidays and joined the flood relief efforts during the weekend. Around 46,000 residents have been evacuated and relocated on an emergency basis.

 I feel very pity about this flood disaster. Steven said,  But we had no choice so we just did the best we could. I said to myself, it would be a simple, harmless act to help the flood victims, as much as I could.

Steven did as he said, That was all I could do. Steven said,  The weather is a bit unusual these days. Much of this was not due to environment pollution? Nature is frequently sounded the alarm bell for us. we've been tragically reminded of the destructive power of nature itself with the recent disaster. Protected the environment, everybody has a responsibility.

           

Focus: Experts warn that climate change will lead to 2016 become the hottest year on record

2016 is on pace to be the hottest year on record. This past May was the warmest May month in a 137-year period, breaking global temperature records, according to a report published on June 23 by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), said a CNN report.

The new data shows that May was the 13th consecutive month to have soaring global temperatures across land and sea surfaces. This is the longest and hottest streak since temperature record-keeping began in 1880, according to NOAA.

Warmer conditions are being felt across areas like Alaska, Canada, Mexico, Central America, northern South America, northern Europe, Africa, Oceania, and parts of southern and eastern Asia, according to the Land & Ocean Temperature Percentiles map by NOAA.

In China, the weather becomes protean due to the pollution's influence of long duration. The disasters are more intense because of changes in weather patterns. The research shows that the impacts of climate change on the overall food security is negative, severe weather, water crisis become a serious threat to China's food security.

 Perhaps the greatest geological hazards during climate change will be the result of melting ice sheets. Steven, the KingKars leader said,  Global warming doesn't only mean that the weather is getting hot, but also mean that the weather is out of control. As the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide rises, so does the temperature. Carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere surpassed 400 parts per million in May at the South Pole that is the last place on the planet to hit the milestone.

Increased carbon dioxide comes partly from burning fossil fuels, which is driving global warming, NASA has previously reported.

 As we all know, the ongoing heat has hit areas like the Arctic pretty hard, prompting an early onset melting of critical sea ice. The same is happening for Greenlands ice sheet and the increased temperatures are bringing less snow cover for the Northern Hemisphere too. Steven said,  I may not be a pure entrepreneur because I focus on the life-supporting environments, but if our habitat is destroyed, my success mean nothing to me. It is something I have fought for my whole life. How can we still tolerate the exhaust gas damage our health? How can we let our future generations live under such harsh environment? The nature in had already sounded the alarm to the humanity, we could not get down like this again, protected the environment, everybody has a responsibility. 



Views: Environment protection

Recently, Chinese government has adopted "green development" strategy to preserve the environment. Because the environment has paid a high price for China's high economic growth. The first is the increase in air and water pollution. The second is the increase in carbon emissions.

The giant steps China has taken to accelerate ecological renewal could be shared in other parts of the world to help achieve sustainable development, a UN expert has said.

Sheng Fulai, the head of economic research unit at the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), hailed China's ecological civilization approach for redefining the global discourse on green economy and sustainable development. Sheng noted that China's model of ecological transformation is not only unique and innovative, but has also inspired the international community.

"The Chinese concept of ecological civilization has made an impact to the global discourse on sustainable development. It covers the environmental, social, economic as well as political and cultural aspects of development." Sheng said and noted that the strategy has spurred transformation of institutions to help promote transparency and accountability in management of natural resources.

The ecological civilization strategy was launched by the Chinese government to promote economic growth while protecting vital ecosystems. China's green strategy conducive to global sustainable development. Steven said when he visited Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.  For a large and still developing country like China, adopting policies for protecting the environment has implications for economic growth. For consumers and households, protecting the environment means adopting less-polluting lifestyles through conscious efforts for not polluting surroundings and using less carbon- and energy-intensive appliances.

As a leading enterprise in Hunan province, KingKar is accountable for environment in its power. The products are created by the company has highly efficient, energy-saving features and aim to promote low-cost creation of high environmental values. We try again and again and we want our products has more obviously effect. Providence does not let down a man who does his best, the fruitful efforts are seen in our newest products. Steven said when his customers visited KingKar factory.

When Steven visited Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia to discuss cooperation details, he also emphasized the necessity of regular sharing of ideas and expertise to help hasten low-carbon development. "China has been encouraging its citizens to reduce energy consumption as a means to cut down on carbon emissions." Steven said, And now, we can see the significant strides China has achieved in greening its economy thanks to rapid implementation of the targets outlined in the ecological civilization blueprint. My company will give unquestioning support to its policies and from my perspective, it is for benefiting our future generations.


Focus: The leader of KingKar talk about environmental regulation

In order to push to improve the natural environment, Tongzhou District's new administrative center announced on Wednesday that more than 2,000 industrial firms will have to move out of a Beijing district.

 Industrial campuses, processing plants and stud farms are among the entities that will have to relocate. a government worker said. Tongzhou district, which is about 40 minutes' drive from the center of Beijing, was designated a subsidiary administrative center for Beijing municipality last year as part of measures to tackle overcrowding in the capital.

 I heard this news on June 1st, nearly 786 companies had already closed and production halt orders had been issued to 331 polluting plants, the district plans to remove all polluting and low-end industries by the end of next year. Steven, the leader of KingKar said.  Regarding air quality, the district wants to reduce PM 2.5 by 6 percent this year, to 87 micrograms. 

Steven asserts that he hopes the economy can grow on the basis of environmental protection, and everyone should make a contribution to protecting the environment. That is the reason that he researched the HHO carbon cleaning machine.


Focus: The leader of KingKar talk about the national action plan to curb pollution

Recently, China released its third national action plan to curb pollution on Tuesday, this time targeting soil deterioration. The government said it will arrest the worsening problem by 2020, and then make improvements to polluted soil by 2030.

 I supported the plan. the leader of KingKar said,  The Ministry of Environmental Protection said on Tuesday that China has seen soil and air quality deteriorate over a vast region, which has affected the human health, agricultural product safety and the environment. The plan is not only for the health of ourselves but for future generations as well. 

KingKar Eco-technologies Co.,Ltd is company which dedicates to studying Oxy-Hydrogen fuel and its application. In the field of green energy, it supplies world's leading technology.
