It may just confirm what we already know \u2014 the smog is getting worse: China\u2019s Meteorological Administration says that there were more smoggy days nationwide this year than anytime during the past 52 years. In Beijing, that includes half of the days in the month of October.<\/p>\n

As if number alone is not alarming enough, several media articles cropped up this week that added a sense of urgency to the issue. Some such stories may seem anecdotal. On Tuesday,\u00a0China News Service<\/i>\u00a0ran a headline shouting \u201csmog causes cancer; youngest patient is only eight years old\u201d. The story tells a sad tale of an eight-year-old girl who was diagnosed with malignant lung tumor, a disease that is usually associated with smokers and the elderly. Though grounded on little more than speculation, the article suggests a a cause by describing that the child\u2019s home was next to a dusty road. On Wednesday, Hong Kong\u2019s\u00a0South Morning Post<\/em>\u00a0published an article that the smog might have a role to play in police\u2019s failure to prevent a terrorist attack, in which a Uighur\u00a0man smashed his vehicle against one of the bridges in front of Tian\u2019anmen, killing everyone onboard and several passers-by on his way. Low visibility caused by smog can blind surveillance cameras, says the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Other reports on the air more official sources. The Chinese Academy of Social Science and the China Meteorological Administration just released a \u201cgreen paper\u201d, which is supposed to be a comprehensive review of the country\u2019s environmental situation. The book attributes a number of increasingly common health conditions to the smog, such as impairment of the immune system and \u201creproductive capacity\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, as the chart above illustrates, for investors who have hedged against the environmental challenge by investing in the environmental protection sector, this week may not be bad at all. Among other things, a policy announced by the Ministry of Environmental Protection demanded all major cities and environmental protection model cities to implement PM2.5 monitoring systems, which have boosted some companies in the sector.<\/p>\n
