Even the locals can tell you how much they really care about their city because 74% of them say they are highly concerned with the air pollution. If you want to experience this phenomenon and cannot afford a trip to Linfen, and you live in California do not worry, for 25% of Los Angeles's air pollution comes from China. The environmental problems in China are severe and life threatening. People in Linfen can only see about 20 feet in front of them because the smog is so thick. This problem has increased due to the fact that there are hundreds of coal factories since coal is so cheap and because China has a huge population it needs all the energy needed to sustain its population.
The massive pollution caused by the coal factories also affects other cities worldwide because the wind can push & carry the smog to places as far Los Angeles. Currently, there are no actual solutions that can completely erase the situation, however, there are measures we can take to gradually reduce it.
