When industrialization began, little thought was given to its ecological effects on the environment. Raw,
untreated sewage allowed to pollute our river and seas. Animals were killed for profits to the point of extinction.
The loss of trees through uncontrolled deforestation caused erosion and unstable climate.
Acid rain was caused by the poisonous gas which man sent into the atmosphere. Chemicals in pesticides
killed animal life. Herbicides destroyed plants. As a result, the balance of nature was disturbed.
It is only now that we are waking up to the problem. More natural, organic farming is advocated. Legislation
controls the disposal of waste products into our air and water. Wildlife organizations are becoming more militant in
their fight for animal rights. Replanting policies in some parts of he world mean that our forests should in the future
be sustainable.
We can only hope that growing public awareness and enlightened legislation will produce a world which is
safe for us and will provide a good quality of life for future generations.

There are many sources of pollution in our modern world. At present, the most serious sources are acid rain,
car exhaust fumes and oil spills.
Factory chimneys give out smoke that contains sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These gases combine with
the moisture in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. When it rains, these acids dissolve in the rain
and make it acidic. Acid rain is believed to be the worst pollution problem of all. It has harmed aquatic life by
turning limestone in the rocks to neutralize the acid rain naturally. One remedy is to pump limestone into the acidic
lakes. However, It is not possible to do this on a large enough scale to save all the lakes.
Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and lead which are highly poisonous. In big cities, the exhaust
fumes build up and pose a health hazard to human beings.
Pollution of the sea by oil threatens marine life. Much of the oil comes from ships that clean their fuel tanks
while at sea. Offshore oil wells also discharge vast amounts of oil into the sea. Pollution of the sea can also be
caused by oil spills. An oil spill may occur as a result of accidents involving oil tankers.
41. What are the most serious sources of pollution?
42. Why is smoke from factory chimneys harmful to our environment?
43. What does this in ( However, it is not possible to do this) mean?
44. What do car exhaust fumes contain?
45. What sources cause pollution of the sea?
