In short, Asia is a polluted mess. In China and India, the average air quality and environment is poor. Poorly governed cities have allowed pollution levels to escalate to levels which are harmful to personal well-being. This in effect has lead to many expats leaving countries like Hong Kong to protect their families from the ill effects of pollution linked to heavy industrial and urban development. The truth is, many people who live in Asia aspire to live and play in countries like the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia where the air is remarkably fresher in contrast to the chaotic cities in Asia. Unfortunately, only a few are talented or privileged enough to move out of their countries. As a result, millions of people today are denied of fresh air and are forced to put up with pollution even today in 2018 despite advances in technology.
