down but not out!

Hong Kong pollution continues to deteriorate by the month!

Most recently, Civic Exchange and AsiaExpat jointly hosted a very informative forum in Central. If you care about your health and live in Hong Kong, I urge you to fill in this petition and also glance at some of the experts' findings that have been posted below the petition:

The World Health Organization Air quality guidelines (referred to in the link above) that come into effect in September of this year will be highly embarrassing for Hong Kong, as it will be failing these guidelines virtually every single day of the month. Of particular concern is the situation in Hong Kong regarding micro-particulates that our lungs are not able to filter and therefore enter into our bloodstream.

Please sign the petition!
