China's Pollution Busters - China
Nov 2007 In the past six years, infant birth defects in China have increased by an unprecedented 40%. This rise is being blamed on pollution from factories. Now green campaigners are taking on the multinationals. "The untreated waste is pumped out secretly at night", states activist Wu Deng Ming, pointing at a water outlet leading from a factory into a river. "People living along the river have enlarged livers", claims one local. They suffer from: "loss of appetite or cancer and all sorts of terminal diseases".

[Channel 4 News] China pollution KOs marathon bid
2008.03.10 By Lucy Manning: "Ethiopia's marathon world record holder Haile Gebrselassie blames pollution for his decision not to run in the Beijing Olympics marathon. He's the world record holder - but Haile Gebrselassie won't be running the marathon in this summer's Olympic games. The Ethiopian runner, who suffers from asthma, said the massive pollution in China was a threat to his health. Gerbselassie said he would compete in the 10,000 metre event instead. He's not the only runner to express worries about China's climate problem. Britain's Paula Radcliffe has called in pollution experts to help her Olympic plans."
