Unlike India, China’s efforts to curb air pollution have sought global recognition and appreciation. As the country continues to battle the problem with an iron hand, the use of technology is being increasingly encouraged.

China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection has used drones to fly over the nation’s steel mills, refineries and power plants to gather accurate emissions readings and determine violations, adds the report.
