THE PROBLEMS OF ENVIRONMENT

 

1. One of the greatest problems of all modern cities is the environment pollution. Every year people consume more goods. Production of goods and services uses energy and natural resources (oil, gas, coal, wood, etc.). All these things are used faster than they can be replenished. Natural resources and energy are getting more expensive, and air and water are becoming seriously polluted. The problem of environmental pollution is well-known to most people. We have heard about it on television and radio, and have read in newspapers and magazines.

2. The worst environment pollution is caused by the manufacturers who put chemical wastes into rivers and seas. Another problem is ail pollution. The air is polluted by traffic and smog from industrial enterprises.

3. The word smog comes from smoke and fog. Smog is a sort of fog with other substances mixed in it, which can be harmful, even deadly. Sucl diseases as eczema and asthma are linked to air pollution.

4. Materials like paper and glass can be reused, but, unfortunately, many materials, especially plastics cannot be reused and cannot Ы absorbed by the earth again. Some plastics cannot even be destroyed. As г result of this people face the problem of preservation of our environment

5. All these things are very serious and people must realise what wif happen if they don't do everything possible to reduce man-mad atmospheric pollutants and smog.
