Nowadays, the protection of the environment is brought to the forefront. The consequences of insufficient attention to the problem can be catastrophic. It's not just about the well-being of humanity, but about its survival. It is especially alarming that the degradation of the natural environment can be irreversible. Water pollution damages human health and fish stocks. The degradation of agricultural land has led to drought and soil erosion in many areas. Hence, malnutrition, hunger, disease. Air pollution causes more and more tangible damage to human health.
Mass destruction of forests adversely affects the climate and reduces biodiversity, the gene pool. A serious threat to health is the depletion of the ozone layer, which protects from harmful sun radiation. To the catastrophic changes in the climate of the Earth is the "greenhouse effect", that is, global warming as a result of growing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The irrational use of mineral and living resources leads to their depletion, which again puts the problem of human survival. Finally, accidents at enterprises associated with radioactive and toxic substances, not to mention the testing of nuclear weapons, cause huge damage to human health and nature.
