Good Luck.
Japanese electronics company Panasonic will pay its Japanese staff China "pollution pay". The company wants to give its workers more money because China's poor air quality. No one knows how many people will get the extra cash. Neither did the company say how much the additional pay would be. Panasonic did not announce any plans to give the payment its Chinese staff. Workers who have to work other countries usually get extra pay for phoning home, eating restaurants or buying furniture. Panasonic is probably the first company the world to give compensation its workers because pollution. Other companies China may now follow Panasonic's example.

China's Premier, Li Keqiang, recently said his country would fight a "war pollution". The Japan Times newspaper reported that: " the weekend, a top Chinese environment official said air quality was below national standards almost every major city last year."
