Poisonous

Air pollution in Hong Kong is getting worse.

It is particularly bad in Causeway Bay and this is causing more people to fall ill.

Because this is such a densely populated city, it is easy for diseases to spread in the home and workplace. On some days the pollution levels are so high that people with respiratory illnesses and heart conditions are advised to stay at home.

The SAR Government should do more to educate members of the public to support environmental protection.

Vehicle emissions are the main cause of air pollution and irresponsible drivers with smoky exhausts should be prosecuted.

A hotline should be set up so members of the public can report offending motorists.
