It is disgusting the st that fills the skies, China is to blame as that is where it originates but only due to the ever increasing need for cheap goods in the west. Those who complain need to see how much stuff they have bought that is made in China.
When I was a young lad in Wigan, Lancashire UK I remember thick heavy smog, especially in winter. So thick the soot precipitated on your hair, face and clothes. Cause was the local Iron works, gas works, many, many steam driven cotton mills, the local engine shed with its allocation of nearly 100 steam locomotives, countless small factorys etc etc.

Virtually all the above has gone (most to China), and the air is now clear and crisp in Wigan on a sunny winters day. !!!!!!!!
