Coal combustion in China has contributed to more atmospheric pollution than anything else. The majority of coal burned in China is for industrial use. While many smokestacks contained dust removers, most lacked sulfur dioxide pollution control devices. Therefore, urban and suburban areas suffered from serious air pollution, as well as acid rain, under unfavorable weather conditions for pollutant diffusion. In areas suffering from the resulting acid rain, damage to trees and agricultural crops is widespread.
