The Korean people sued the Chinese and South Korean governments and lost the case. What's going on here?

These Korean NGOs claim that China's? Heavy industry air pollution? South Korea's negligence in the field of environmental governance is the chief culprit of South Korea's long-term smog, so it sued the Chinese and South Korean governments for compensation.

The problem is, as we all know, if the smog in South Korea is really caused by industrial pollution in China, then the smog in China will only be more serious than that in South Korea, but the actual situation is that the air quality in Shandong and Jiangsu across the sea from South Korea is much better than that in South Korea.

1. Korean NGOs sued the Chinese and South Korean governments and lost the case. After three years of litigation, Korean NGOs finally lost the case.

The so-called NGOs, that is, non-governmental organizations and non-governmental people, are ubiquitous abroad, and they are a strange group that can get high salaries even if they have no formal occupation.

Second, South Korean NGOs' accusations against China are untenable. It's true that the smog in South Korea is getting worse, but what if Korean NGOs say it's caused by China? Heavy industry air pollution? In this way, I'm afraid it's too whimsical.

We should know that the main components of smog are sulfur dioxide+nitrogen oxides+inhalable particles, and these substances mainly come from automobile exhaust, industrial waste gas and road dust.

Geographically, South Korea faces China's Shandong and Jiangsu provinces across the Yellow Sea, and the nearest place is 300 nautical miles. Shandong and Jiangsu are both developed areas, so it is impossible to be polluted by heavy industry? Across the ocean? Go to fog and haze Korea? Add bricks and tiles? Even if you really want to cross the sea, at most it is automobile exhaust.

But that's the problem.

According to the professional analysis of the components of smog in South Korea by environmentalists in China and South Korea, many scholars unanimously confirmed that the main components of smog in South Korea are not nitrogen oxides from automobile exhaust, but more sulfur oxides. Combined with the domestic power generation situation, South Korea still relies on coal-fired power plants and thermal power plants, so it can basically be confirmed that the smog in South Korea is caused by its own air pollution emissions.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that at present, not only the air quality in Shandong and Jiangsu is better than that in South Korea, but also the PM2.5 index in Beijing, where the smog was the most serious in the past, is lower than that in Seoul, South Korea.

As a result, South Korean NGOs' accusations against China are even more untenable.
