In addition to rapid increase of CO2 emission in China, more and more thermal power stations' running accelerates the trend.
What puzzles East Asian countries now is not only CO2 but also PM2.5.

When we Japanese are asked "Which is more serious problem immediately, increasing CO2 emission or increasing PM2.5?", we may answer "It must be the latter."
It is because PM2.5 is one of the three factors that cause allergy. The three factors are PM2.5, pollen, and yellow sand.
Especially, this season is famous for pollen disease. So, many Japanese are sensitive to these matters.
Though I don't know which mainly affect my body, my eyes are often itching and I often have a stuffy nose.
