It is true that the United States contributes significant amounts of pollution into the global atmosphere. When comparing the most polluted cities in the United States and China, however, the results are startling. According to the World Health Organization, any pollution amount over 10 PM2.5 per day is hazardous to one's health. Xingtai, China produces over fifteen times that guideline each day.
