That stuff falls out of the atmosphere before it can get over here, though. If they want to make different tradeoff regarding their local environment, that's up to them.
Actually, it doesn't. The Asian Brown cloud (a mixture of particulate, aerosol and gaseous pollutants) makes it to the West Coast. Spectrometry was done on samples taken here and on across the flow all the way back to Asia. It was a smoking gun.
