Inefficient machinery and obsolete techniques coupled with the improper monitoring worsened the air pollution. the severe air pollution was causing acid rain‚ smog and health problems.

Doctors and researchers have uncovered several diseases that seem to be caused by air pollution‚ including asthma‚ lung cancer and heart diseases. Along with harming human health‚ air pollution can cause a variety of environmental effects‚ e.g. acid rain‚ ozone depletion‚ crop and forest damage and global climate change. There are now various air pollution control technologies and strategies available to help reduce it‚ People are encouraged now more than ever before to use non-polluting renewable

changes would have drastic negative effects on the economy. He then presents his way of thinking on the subject‚ which is in conjunction with efforts taken to correct previous air pollution issues. Easterbrook points out that the urban fog and acid rain were thought to be as insurmountable as the current greenhouse gas issues. Through strict regulations the air pollution was decreased and the damage corrected. In both of these cases the measures proved to be cheaper than expected. He points

Just imagine one day having to walk outside wearing a mask; or not being able to open the windows of your house on a hot summer’s day. Or even worse‚ imagine looking out of your window and not seeing any form of life. All vegetation has died due to acid rain and other chemicals such as sulphur poisoning. Some of these ideas can become a reality if something is not done about this problem‚ which‚ in my opinion‚ is far greater than the wars that are going on the world at this moment. There are two main

Burning of coal produces carbon dioxide‚ sulphur dioxide etc. which are responsible for acid rain. Chlorofluorocarbons are widely used as propellants and as refrigerants which cause ozone depletion. Water pollution adversely changes the quality of water. It disturbs the balance of the ecosystem and causes health hazards. Water becomes polluted
