ACID RAINS
Every year more and more plants and animals disappear never to be seen
again.
Strangely, it is the most intelligent but most thoughtless animal that is
causing most of the problems — man.
Nature is very carefully balanced and if
this balance is disturbed, animals can disappear alarmingly fast.
Every day,
thousands of species of animals draw closer to extinction.
There are countless
number of species which may become extinct before they are even discovered.
In many lakes the fish are dying.
Fishermen are worried because every year there
are fewer fish and some lakes have no fish at all.
Scientists are beginning to get
worried too.
What is killing the fish?
The problem is acid rain.
Acid rain is a kind of air pollution.
It is caused by
factories that burn coal or oil or gas.
These factories send smoke high into the
air.
The wind often carries the smoke far from the factories.
Some of the
harmful substances in the smoke may come down with the rain hundreds of
miles away.
The rain in many places isn't natural and clean any more.
It's full of acid
chemicals.
When it falls in lakes, it changes them too.
The lakes become more
acidic.
Acid water is like vinegar or lemon juice.
It hurts when it gets in your
eyes.
It also kills the plants and animals that usually live in lake water.
That is
why the fish are dying in lakes.
But dead fish may be just the beginning of the problem.
Scientists are finding
other effects of acid rain.
In some large areas trees are dying.
Not just one tree
here and there, but whole forests.
At first scientists couldn't understand why.
There were no bugs or diseases in these trees.
The weather was not dry.
But
now they think that the rain was the cause.
Acid rain is making the earth more
acidic in these areas.
Some kinds of trees cannot live in the soil that is very
acidic.
Now scientists are also beginning to study the effects of acid rain on larger
animals.
For example, they believe that some deer in Poland are less healthy
because of acid rain.
If deer are hurt by the rain, what about people?
This is the
question many people are beginning to ask.
No one knows the answer yet.
But
it is an important question for us all.

ТОЛЬКО БЕЗ ПЕРЕВОДЧИКА AIR POLLUTION When the Americans decided to clean up the Statue of Liberty in 1986, the first thing they had to do was to make a hole in her nose and take away the acid rain that had collected inside.
The polluted air of New York had mixed with the rain and damaged the statue badly.
And you certainly know that most of the pollution in big cities comes from cars and buses.
More and more often people are told not to be in direct sunlight, because ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer.
Normally the ozone layer in the atmosphere protects us from such radiation, but if there are holes 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.
This happened in Windscale in Britain, in Three Mile Island in the USA and Chernobyl in Ukraine.
Nuclear pollution cannot be seen but its effects can be terrible.
To make air clean again we need good filters at nuclear power stations, at factories and plants and also in cars and buses.
Both clean air 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.
That’s why people all over the world think and speak so much about ecology.

It is a wonderful world we live in.
For thousands of years the Earth has given support to all forms of life – human beings, animals, birds, fishes, insects and plants.
But now human beings are killing our planet.
Many species of animals and birds have disappeared.
Millions of animals die every year because man has polluted their natural homes.
Besides, every year people cut down more trees, build more roads, and use more land for farming.
This leaves fewer jungles, fields and forests for wildlife.
The country air, once clean and fresh, now may be polluted by power stations and factories.
Some of our rivers are now empty of fish.
And in some rivers you can even see a thick foam caused by chemical waste.
All over the words the forests are disappearing.
People cut the trees down because they need wood and paper or new places for farms and houses.
Forests the size of Belgium are destroyed every year.
It’s an international disaster.
Even if new trees are planted, it takes many year for them to grow.
Go to the seaside and you’ll see the pollution around you.
There is a lot of litter on the beaches.

They pollute themselves with cigarettes, alcohol and junk food.
These are some of the world’s most serious environmental problems.
And it’s no good pretending they don’t exist – they do.
What’s more, they are getting worse all the time!
What will happen if we don’t try to solve these problems?
Scientists have made predictions and they are alarming.

Today environmental protection has become a universal problem.
Technological progress improves people's lives, but at the same time it brings about pollution and contamination of land, water and air.
The atmosphere of the Earth and the depths of the oceans are poisoned with toxic wastes created by the humans.
Millions of species - animals, birds, fish have already disappeared from our planet.
Natural resources are exhausted : the ecology of the planet is disbalanced.
Big cities face the environmental catastrophe too.
Concentration of millions of people on a tiny area causes numerous problems.
Some of them can be solved only at the expense of creating new ones.
Thus, air pollution is caused by the ever - increasing number of automobiles that help to cope with the transportation problem.
The need for energy generates pollution on a large scale.
Nuclear power plants threaten air, water and land.
Radiation affects people's health.
The accident at Chernobyl in 1986 was tragic for many people.
The necessity to employ all the inhabitants of the city leads to the creation of new factories that produce not only consumer goods, but wastes, noise and smog.
Another source of global danger is acid rain.
It is a relatively new kind of pollution.
Acid rains appeared as a reaction of the atmosphere to the air contamination.
Acid rains damage water, forest, and soil resources.
Acid rains cause the disappearance offish from many lakes, bring death to the forests and woods in Europe and America.
