But the effect of mercury, acid rain, etc. could already be affecting your health and shortening your life. I can only imagine how sick the Chinese population living in those areas where there are no enviormental protections will be faring in 15-20 years.

The Chinese have been suffering unfathomable air and water pollution for over 50 years. Yes the health results are pretty bad (try getting statistics from their govt)
. I am not sure their air pollution as a whole has gotten much worse over the last 10 years, only that most of the population is being forcibly relocated to huge cities where exposure is much higher.
