3 The world environment means simply what is around us. The air we breathe, the soil on which we stand, the water we drink are all part of the environment. The most serious environmental problems are: pollution in its forms (water pollution, are pollution, nuclear pollution), destruction of wildlife, the growth of population, etc. There is no ocean or sea which is not used as a dump nowadays. Many seas are used for dumping industrial and nuclear waste. Many rivers and lakes are poisoned too. It happens so because factories and plants produce a lot of waste and pour it into rivers. They poison the water. If people drink this water they can die. You know that most of the pollution in big cities comes from cars and buses. The polluted are of New York had mixed with the rain and damaged the Statue of Liberty badly. More and more often people are told not to be in direct sunlight, because ultraviolet radiation from the sun cause skin cancer. Normally the ozone layer in the atmosphere protects us from such radiation, but if there are holts in the ozone layer ultraviolet radiation can get to the earth. Many scientists think that these holes are the result of air pollution. Nuclear power stations can go wrong and cause nuclear pollution. Nuclear pollution cannot be seen but its effects can be terrible. Both clean are and clean water are necessary for our health. If people want to survive they must solve these problems quickly. Man is beginning to understand that his environment is not just his own town or country, but the whole earth.
