I recently came across statistics reporting China water pollution and was deeply shocked and saddened by the magnitude of the problem.

China holds 22% of world's population but has access to only 7% of the earth's fresh water supply. Only 5% of household waste and 17% of industrial waste receive treatment before entering into local waterways.

700 million Chinese lack access to clean water. These 700 million people consume drinking water contaminated with animal/human or even industrial waste. The consumption of non-potable water is often the source for typhoid fever and roundworm infection. Such contaminated waters are known carcinogens for liver and stomach cancers. Despite this, people drink it because they have no choice!

38 million Chinese suffers from dental fluorosis and 2.8 million Chinese already have the crippling form of skeletal fluorosis, a consequence of excessive fluoride in the water supply in China. Environmental pollution and poverty are often highly correlated. Environment pollution leads to diseases, diseases exacerbates poverty, and poverty results in environmental neglect. Victims and especially children trapped in this vicious cycle are deprived of opportunities to grow up healthy and happy - a smile is a luxury expression.
