In recent years, the Asian air pollution has been considered a threat to health and the environment. According to research by the World Health Organization, air pollution in Asia "is responsible for an estimated 537,000 premature deaths per year, with indoor air pollution responsible for more than double that number." of death” (Schwela). These statistics have aroused concern among civilians and neighboring countries, faced with the damage caused to society by pollution. On June 21, 2013, Southeast Asia experienced immense air pollution. This event was named Haze Crisis, where it reached a record 401, the largest amount of hazardous pollution ever recorded (Ho et al.). The levels reached during this crisis have forced civilians to stay indoors where they have been advised to wear masks both indoors and outdoors. There is a growing need for intervention as researchers seek to identify the most effective measures to protect human health and the environment. To identify the most effective measures, scientists examine the causes of pollution. Although there is no single, direct cause of air pollution, all factors combined contribute to this problem. Asian air pollution threatens the environment and public health; it is a direct result of industrial pollution, biomass pollution and forest fire pollution. As cities grow industrially, environmental pollution increases. Industrial development in the last century was largely fueled by fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas (Henderson). Industrial pollution is a global problem, but it is in the Asia-Pacific regions that fossil fuel consumption has increased 20-fold over the past half-century (Henderson). As...... middle of article...... factors associated with haze include increased emergency room attendance for respiratory symptoms [3,4], reduced productivity loss of life due to a doubling of asthma cases, inefficient manufacturing and exterior construction, increasingly dangerous aviation, and reduction in tourism” (Ho et al.). Clearly, the problem of air pollution in Asia is a serious and potentially deadly problem. With current statistics, if the problem is not resolved quickly, we can only expect an increase of more than half a million premature deaths. According to the information, this is not an initial cause of pollution but rather a combination of industrial pollution, biomass and forest fires. For there to be environmental success, each individual cause must be addressed and a plan must be developed to improve Asian conditions over time..
