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
