THE PROBLEM OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Environmental protection is the main problem facing humanity nowadays.

The image of a sick planet has become firmly established in tlie public

mind lately. Ten years ago the word "ecology" hardly meant anything for the

majority of people, but today we can't help bearing it in our minds. It

has happened because of tlie growing effect of the rapid industrial

development of the natural world which has negative features of its own. As

a matter of fact the state of environment has greatly worsened of late.

There is no doubt that soil, water and air are contaminated with toxic

wastes. Over the past few years we have been constantly speaking about

ozone holes, droughts, high level of radiation, about food contaminated

with chemicals. Scientists in many countries are very much concerned about

drastic changes in weather patterns. The worst drought, tlie mildest winter

and the most devastating hurricanes have become typical in those parts o

the world where they used to be a rare occurrence. Weather patterns have

been changing recently due to tlie global warming-up process and its major

reason — the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is created by carbon

dioxide emissions, released by industrial facilities and a constantly

increasing number of cars. Thus it is of vital importance that the world

should start cutting down the release of gases that contribute to the

greenhouse effect What is the reason for people getting so much worried

about the state of environment? The answer to this question is fairly

simple. The thing is the deterioration of the environment is telling

heavily on people. They are paying for this with their health. And it is

obvious what all people need is a healthy environment.

To solve this burning problem it is necessary for people to combine

efforts, to raise safety standards at all industrial facilities, to

adequately process by-products of industry, to set up an international

space laboratory to monitor the state of environment and set up an

international center for emergency environmental assistance. All these

measures will help us in solving these important problems and prevent us

from dangerous illnesses and diseases.
