Please list a few things that cause air pollution in japan and what is being done about it i really need help!!!
Japan used to have serious air pollution issues due to industrialization, but thanks to stict laws and public awareness of environmental issues, air pollution in Japan has gone way down compared to 20 or 30 years ago.
The biggest problem now is "yellow sand" that gets blown from China. These are fine grain sand particles that originate from the Gobi Desert located in the western part of China. The sand is very fine and can easily travel by wind across China, and in the process various toxins attach itself to these sand particles as they pass through China’s industrial regions.
These sand particles tend to get blown beyond the Sea of Japan and fall onto mainland Japan, causing a yellow haze in the atmosphere (sometimes making it difficult to see clearly), as well as resperatory problems for people who inhale these particles.

The morale’s lack of many people in Japan?
To be honest, I am Japanese, but I don’t know whether Japan has air pollution or not.
If Japan has it, maybe the gas from the factories of companies with less morale is the cause of air pollution.
Japanese companies is now making Hybrid cars!
In 1968, Japan made a low rule to protect Japan from air pollution.
And In 1992, it seemes that some kinds of cars like bus and track started to have the rule about how much gus they can emit.
