Time Magazine features article on Hong Kong Pollution

For a good summary of how terrible the air quality is in Hong Kong, read this article: http://www.time.com/time/asia/covers/501060515/hk_air.html

If anything, the article is very polite towards the leading companies and government of Hong Kong. The government currently has no comprehensive plan to battle pollution. The departmeent of health (http://www.info.gov.hk/dh/) doesn't even feature air pollution as a health concern and provides no advice to asthma sufferers, children and the elderly. The Transport Department (http://www.td.gov.hk/home/index.htm) has no clear policy on regarding pollution and what it intends to do to reduce it.
