What is the worst kind of pollution in your opinion?

I think that air pollution is the worst pollution. One of Britain’s environmental successes has been the control of air pollution, especially in London. Thirty years ago hundreds of people died every year from the dreadful London smogs. Since then London and many other cities have become smokeless zones, areas where no coal fires are allowed. But now the increase in traffic is threatening serious air pollution in our cities again.

However, the commonest air pollution comes from the cigarette smoke which pollutes many public places, like cinemas, pubs and restaurants. Though cigarette advertisements are not allowed on TV or radio, you can still see them on posters in cinemas and in newspapers and magazines. The advertisements don’t tell you that doctors believe cigarettes cause 30.000 deaths in Britain every year.

The most dangerous for me are the effects of Air pollution. There are respiratory and heart problems, global warming, acid Rain, depletion of Ozone layer. The reactions of certain gases and chemicals also form harmful fumes that can be dangerous to the well being of living creatures.

To my mind people should pay attention to solutions for Air Pollution.

1. Use public mode of transportation: Encourage people to use more and more public modes of transportation to reduce pollution. 

2. Conserve energy: Switch off fans and lights when you are going out. 

3. Understand the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle: Do not throw away items that are of no use to you.

Air Pollution is one of the larger mirrors of man’s follies, and a challenge we need to overcome to see a tomorrow.
