Parents extremely concerned about Hong Kong air pollution
Hong Kong parents extremely dissatisfied and concerned about Hong Kong air pollution
CAN released the results of its parent survey last week at a press conference led by Dr. Alfred Tam, Chairman of the Hong Kong Asthma Society. For the first time, Chinese media wrote about air pollution as a health problem – a genuine breakthrough in the dialogue about this problem. Some of the damning conclusions of the survey which was conducted in pediatricians’ clinics throughout Hong Kong were:
- 91% of parents think the current poor air quality threatens their children’s health
- 81% found it more severe when compared to 3 years ago
- 31% of the parents surveyed had children with chronic coughs
- 96% think the government should spend more to clean up the air
