Air quality still not good in European cities
Chapter 5 (climate)
This article is about the severity of air pollution in Europe. 90 percent of European cities have more than the healthy amount of air pollutants. 98 percent of city dwellers in Europe have been exposed to ozone above the WHO guidelines. The exposure to all of these pollutants increases chance of cardiovascular disease and breathing problems, the length of life can even be shortened if nothing is done to bring down harmful emissions.
I think that every country in the world needs to act fast to bring down the overall air pollution or else the earth will heat fairly quickly and many lakes and water sources can become contaminated and sensitive organisms will die. Aside from the rest of the world, Europe needs to act even faster because there is already an increased chance in breathing and heart problems because of air pollution. Air pollution in Europe has always been a problem since the 1800's in England
EEA- European Environmental Assosiation is in charge of making plans to improve the environment in Europe, need to draft a plan quickly.
When I first visited Germany after East and West Germany reunited (before you were born) all of the buildings in East Germany had this dirty appearance and on closer inspection were covered in soot from coal burning factories and power plants.
ReplyDeleteAir pollution is a problem in cities even in NY. They say that the number of children with asthma and breathing issues in city schools is higher. Air pollution is a contributing factor.
