BEIJING ― China’s environmental situation is deteriorating, with several major rivers and lakes clogged by industrial waste, state media said Tuesday.
Although spring sandstorms have helped clear the air by blowing away pollutants, the country’s waterways are suffering, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing Pan Yue, deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Administration.
“Pollution worsened in many parts of the country in the first quarter of the year, according to nationwide monitoring results,” Pan was quoted as saying.
