Densely populated and highly industrialised areas of the world
often experience periods of poor air quality.
This is a direct result of airborne pollutants produced by coal
fired power stations, vehicle exhaust emissions and other output
from the surge in industrial output that has made countries such as
China the world's leading manufacturing nations.
Many globally-renowned organisations from all sectors of
industry have migrated to these highly industrialised locations in
order to take advantage of lower production costs and to position
themselves closer to regions of the world in which product demand
is increasing.
Whilst governments are taking action to address poor air
quality, employees and their families - including ex-pat families -
continue to be exposed to serious conditions which may adversely
impact their health and wellbeing whilst they live in the world's
industrial hotspots.
