ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROBLEMS

Today our planet is in serious danger. Modern industry damages the Earth. There are many environmental problems: acid rain; water shortage; destruction of the ozone layer of the Earth; damage of water and soils; damage to wildlife: numerous species of animals and plants can disappear. At last, the most serious danger arising from damaging the environment is the result of the abovementioned consequences. These are the consequences of the development of civilization.

Air pollution affects our body. The pollutants that harm our respiratory system are known as particulates¹.

Factories emit tons of harmful chemicals. These emissions have disastrous consequences for our planet. They are the main reason for the greenhouse effect and acid rains.

Our forests are disappearing because they are cut down or burnt. If this trend continues, one day we won't have enough oxygen to breathe, we won't see a beautiful green forest at all.

The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear wastes, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in our seas.

Every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out forever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today may soon become extinct.

And even greater threats are nuclear power stations. We all know how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are.
