Yes, and we knowingly put our children through this. How much are those small lungs worth
To the people who think 3 months a year of " relatively " clear air is acceptable, obviously not much ( I think on the black market a lung is about 50,000USD, so maybe start saving as your " great " medical insurance won't cover this ).
Roughly 1500 out of 7 mil people a year die from pollution in HK, do the math, there is a good chance it could happen to you or a loved one.
( That does not mean drop dead in the street, but a long and painful death from any number of respiratory diseases, cancers, tumours etc )
I have never worked in a company where such a relatively high number of employees, or a family member, have had a serious illness, Coincidence ? I think not.
