Due in large part to the emissions caused by burning coal, China is now the number one producer of carbon dioxide, responsible for a full quarter of the world's CO2 output. ... New coal power plants have a set date of the beginning of 2012 and for old power plants by mid-2014 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_in_China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would estimate total hill-tribe air pollution in Thailand to be a fraction of that produced by large-scale agriculture. And, I'd be happy to have my assumptions corrected based on reliable research ! ~o:37; When you finish that research please post the results. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
