there's air pollution everywhere no matter where you go there's air pollution.
the UK
The UK has problems with acid rain and pollution in big cities. Climate change will cause most of London to flood. There is also water pollution problems.
Yes, airways can get block as if you were smokin.It depends on the type of pollution - if the pollution is air bound then it is quite likely extended excessive exposure can leading to breathing disorders including asthma.If the pollution is in the workplace in the UK an employer is responsible to ensure employees do not contract diseases such as asthma else the employer could be liable to compensate.
In the UK, air pollution contributes to around 5% of all deaths annually. Pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter from vehicles and industry are major contributors to poor air quality in urban areas. Efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality are ongoing.
Over population, industry, littler, car emissions.... just to name a few in general reasons of pollution
It really does depend on the country itself, however, the UK's top pollution source is car travel, and Chinas is its amount of Factories, and all over the world, the use of electricity in homes contributes alot. I would say all of these are the top contributers.
the european union told them to clean the air or pay an expencive fine. :/
The UK made the smokeless zones to prevent any acid rain.
The UK WEEE regulations include regulations for batteries. There are also regulations to protect the environment from water, land, and air pollution by companies.
Air quality in the UK is measured using a network of monitoring stations that measure various pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. The data collected from these stations is then used to calculate air quality indices which provide information on the level of pollution in the air and its potential effects on health. This information is made publicly available to raise awareness and inform actions to improve air quality.
