This fragile planet

What the word environment means?
It means what is around us.
Some people live in a town environment; for others, their their environment is the countryside.

Most serious environment problems
Pollution in many forms (water pollution, air pollution, nuclear pollution);
Noise from cars, buses, planes, etc;
Destruction of wildlife and the beauty of the countryside;
Shortage of natural resouses.

Water pollution
There is no ocean or sea, which is not used as a dump. Many seas are used for dumping industrial and nuclear waste. This poisons and kills fish and sea animals. Many rivers and lakes are poisoned too. Fish and reptiles can’t live in them. There is not enough oxygen in the water. In such places all the birds leave their habitats, and many plants die. If people drink this water, they can die too. It happens so because factories produce a lot of waste and pour it into rivers.

Air pollution
Nuclear power stations can go wrong and cause nuclear pollution. This happened in Windscale in Britain, in Three Mile Island in the USA and Chernobyl in Ukraine. Nuclear pollution cannot be seen but its effects can be terrible.
To make air clean again we need good filters at nuclear power stations, at factories and plants and also in cars and buses.

Nuclear pollution
Nuclear power stations can go wrong and cause nuclear pollution. This happened in Windscale in Britain, in Three Mile Island in the USA and Chernobyl in Ukraine. Nuclear pollution cannot be seen but its effects can be terrible.

Why was the Statue of Liberty in New York damaged?
When the Americans decided to clean up the Statue of Liberty in 1986, the first thing they had to do was to make a hole in her nose and take away the acid rain that had collected inside. The polluted air of New York had mixed with the rain and damaged the statue badly.

Holes in the ozone
More and more often people are told not to be in direct sunlight, because ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer. Normally the ozone layer in the atmosphere protects us from such radiation, but if there are holes in the ozone layer ultraviolet radiation can get to the earth. Many scientists think that these holes are the result of air pollution.
