Hi TJ, The price of "freedom" in Hong Kong seems kind of high to me. I wonder if/when the officialdom will raise taxes to pay for fixing these problems? Hong Kong air pollution equals record high news.yahoo.com Sat Oct 24, 1:20 am ET HONG KONG (AFP) – Hong Kong air pollution has equalled a record high registered in 2000, triggering a warning for people with heart or respiratory illnesses, according to the Environmental Protection Department. A pall of smog hung over the city, restricting views across the world famous Victoria Harbour as pollutants built up due to a lack of wind. Hong Kong's ghostly seas warn of looming tragedy news.yahoo.com by Lawrence Bartlett Lawrence Bartlett – Thu Oct 29, 2:45 pm ET Flush the toilet in any of the high-rise apartments or offices housing Hong Kong's population of seven million people and it will likely go almost directly into the "Fragrant Harbour" -- Hong Kong's name in Cantonese. Add to that the chemical effluent oozing down the Pearl River from thousands of frantically busy factories in mainland China and you have a "horrendous cocktail," says Sadovy. A keen diver, Sadovy says she has seen fish deformed by the pollutants in Hong Kong's waters, and points out that many of them -- such as the heavy metals -- will poison the seas for years to come. Eco-tourism group Hong Kong Dolphinwatch says that 450,000 cubic metres of raw, semi-processed sewage is dumped into the harbour every day -- enough to fill 200 Olympic-size swimming pools.
