How do two countries have pollution so severe that the population is merely sustainable for living in the conditions? Sixteen of the cities located in China are the targets for immense amounts of pollution, and while there were tasks attained to clear it up, there were no long-term effects. India has found it difficult to clean up their air pollution because they are afraid that it will slow down their economic growth.

The government of China created the Beijing environment Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau to reduce the city's amount of air pollution before the 2008 Olympics, but long-term effects were not made. In India progress can't be made because their government is afraid that it would slow down their economic growth.
